Def paint the valve covers either red or ford racing blue (with the matte finish). +1 on ditching the pully cover. You did an awesome job on cleaning up under the hood. IMO eatons look better the factory silver or give it a repaint.

^ Thanks alot... sucks having to take the pulley cover off when i just bought it but i agree it looked better without it.

Anyone think this looks good? It's the same as the one above but i left the bracket grey to blend with the eaton, it's between this and removing it all together:

I want to say i seen something about the aftermarket IC tanks not clearing the mach hood :shrug: But i cant say for sure.
Most don't. But I think there is one that does. What hood are you running OP? You aren't running the stock mach hood anymore are you? A different hood/cobra hood would clear.:beer:

Last pic i seen he has the stock hood but with the shacker mounted to the hood.

This ^


Thanks that looks good but i might just paint it black and see how it looks, if it doesnt look good black then i'll just remove it

Anyone know how hard it would be to completely sand down the pulley cover and polish it to a mirror finish by hand?? if not by hand then whats the best inexpensive tool to buy for doing this job

wow huge improvement.. props to ya. IMO yes the pulley cover is too much the focal pt of the engine bay which is odd to say when that point is black but it is. How about ditching the battery or going with a MMR Radiator Reservoir removal/relocation kit? Ive always thought the stangs plastic coolant reservoir is brutal looking and this kit sure does do the trick of being able to toss it:) just an idea. Your bay looks better than mine so its hard to pass out suggestions :) I like your pics.. would be curious to see more updates

Thanks alot, yea i'm considering getting rid of the pulley cover. Low on money right now so whatever i do will probably be free or cheap mods
