So i just picked up a plenum cover off another mustang owner who just installed his KB. So i gotta say adding it really sets the engine bay off! Heres a with and without pic just so you can tell how great it does look. Also im thinking of painting it to color match (the orange) my car as well. Let me know what you think.

I have the same intake cover and agree 100% that it helps tremendously on the underhood look.
I wonder what your intake cover would look like if you just painted the ribs and "Powered by Ford" body color. Or paint it body color except for the pony, ribs and "Powered by Ford". Give it some contrast.

Here is mine before and after(of course adding the WMS CAI really changed the look as well).

I agree, the intake cover makes these cars. I also love the WMS too!

i think the cover looks good on only some cars. it looks good on yours with the stuff you have underhood, but i dont like it under my hood. having a black car without any bling under the hood besides a polished STB, the silver cover does not fit.

Did that setup gain you any horsepower? If so, have any idea how much? I understand the kits are available for V8s and V6s. Any affects on warranty?
I like the look.
