That looks very, very nice indeed!

orangemachracer · 06-11-2005, 01:27 PM

that looks so fuc@ing cool. nice job

orangemachracer · 06-11-2005, 01:28 PM

how hard was it for the removal of the covers.did you replace the gaskets i was told to do that to be on the safe side

snkchmr · 06-20-2005, 10:48 PM

Im geting 380s old ones just dont what color to do them on my Dad's Black Mach. I may do them Ford blue with the GT covers.

Mean04Mustang · 07-03-2005, 01:34 AM

I finally got mine installed and **** these are very hard to get in. A lot of work to install valve covers on these engines. Have the engine compartment is growing over it. But the good part is how much cleaner and better it looks in there. I also got to speed some time cleaning other stuff up too like all the loose wires and stuff. I wanted something differant so I painted the letters and I have to say I love the way it turned out but once again very time consuming to get it just right. anyways tell me what you guys thing and what you think about the blue wire loom.

Just got my Dads put on I think it looks 100% better

Roush380R · 07-21-2005, 01:36 PM

What happened to the blue Mike?

Roush380R · 01-03-2006, 11:27 AM

$65 for the powder coating and $125 labor to put them on. Well worth it in my opinion.

I've been looking for the coil covers that you have with no luck. Do you remember the guy that you got these coil covers from? They look awsome and I would love to see them on my car.

I happened to get the chrome Ford Racing coil covers off a guy on E-bay, brand new for $99.95 shipped. That is a steal for covers that cost $225.00 anywhere else. I will put them on in the spring with all the other chrome accessories that I will get for X-mas and on my birthday( Jan. 1).

Here is a pic. of mine

MoCkiN U · 07-20-2007, 10:29 PM

I cant believe I didnt post finished results in here. I did have some of the parts painted at the local body shop. The hood shroud and the rear firewall cover were both sanded and painted the body color to match. It really fits in nicely I think

jeff a. moore · 07-22-2012, 07:13 PM

What does it cost to have them removed, powedercoated and reinstalled? I may have missed that somewhere in the thread. I would remove them myself, but I am no mechanic and would prob ruin my engine lol.

thanks!

its really not that bad removing them yourself, but i also had big time help from a buddy that has alot of experiance, so it worked out really good
i couldn't tell you how much it cost, i would call around your area and ask
also to get a good ideal you can call Ford and ask them how much they charge to swap valve covers and see how much they charge and what the hours are it takes to get the job done
i don't think its much to have em powdercoated, i think its going to cost you more to have em taken out and put back in
if your planning on having the motor pulled out down the road i just wait till then, that way your not paying twice for something. just a thought

ASH302 · 07-24-2012, 12:17 PM

well nothing really custom about these, i just took some off a 2003 mach black valve covers and put em on my 04 SY, the black looks way better

thought i posted these pictures up, but i guess not,

TSairbornesoldr · 04-28-2007, 09:00 AM

Can someone tell me where and how they did the power coating? Did you take it to a garage or do it yourself as in installing them?

Local body shop . Just call around .

Easy to install , you can defenitely do it yourself .

mach 2 · 05-09-2007, 09:53 AM

Just finished mine, Bright aluminum powder coat, and I painted the coil covers with red caliper paint and high temp clear. Still trying to decide if I like the coil covers, but they are easy to change.

Roush380R · 01-03-2006, 07:07 PM
