Show me your cam covers please?

[rocky]

I've seen a few but I am kinda on the fence about what I want on mine. Leaning towards blue but chrome looks kinda cool...red might look cool too. So if you have a underhood pic handy and don't mind posting it in this thread I would be much appreciative:)

I like the blacked out look but if I ever change it I'm goin to a comp. Orange or ford blue.

$10 rattle can wrinkle black. As picky as I am, the results and shear toughness way exceeded my expectations. Follow the directions.

Freshly sprayed, right after dinner.

Cured medium well.

What did you use to clean/degrease before painting?

[QUOTE=rocky;1251616]I like the blue granddaddy, did you have them powder coated?


Yes I bought a used set from a member, so I know they would fit. 1 Bad Merq had them coated and sent them to me. All-in-all it was over $300, but I got what I wanted.

[rocky]

You guys kick ass, thank you!
I'm thinking red with ford racing cam covers now

Here's different shade of blue. When the car was at Zack's for repair he could not find any Ford blue available in his area. So he selected this color. I approve.

Chrome or polished look great, but in my opinion, Ford blue looks best on a SB Marauder. I went with the Ford GT cam covers. Looks great and added a bump in horsepower ;)

I've seen some hydro dipped carbon fiber look alike DOHC valve covers on a local guy's Cobra. I totally fell in love. I like those and just the 03 Mach/Marauder covers. Everytime I pop the hood on my 04' I miss the covers on my 03'.

There is a hydro dip place near me. I'm thinking of getting the cover on the radiator support done.

Ok so what's the diff between my 03 and your 04 cam covers? I work in ford parts and the catalog shows different part numbers but they both supersede to the later part number

03 Covers are a smooth finish and black. 04 are raw aluminum. They look like ass even new and are damn near impossible to keep clean.

Another cost cut to the Marauder line. How cheep! I believe the Mach 1s suffered the same cut back. :puke:

Yup. I also miss the soft sides of the center console and the front seat map pockets. It held whatever pistol I felt like packing that day with ease for longer drives.
