it looks as though you should have sanded the holes before painting, because you can see where the plastic is bumped up drom drilling.

I also say see about replacing those blue couplers for the intake. And when you need to do wires, go for the red Ford Racing wires. That'll help tie everything together, and give you a "completed" and planned look, rather than getting a bunch of pieces and mis-matching them.
Bolt heads should be black IMO. And while I'm telling you to spend all this time and money, change the oil cap to something without yellow.
Again, those are just things I would want to do if it were my set up.
Looking good man, keep up the good work.

Might as well do it all while you have the supplies, it should look badass all said and done.
Notice anything with the holes in the cover?
I think it looks good. Some paint on the lettering would make it pop more and look cool. Maybe black or silver.
How did you do the holes in the cover? Have you noticed any difference?
Anyone know if there is any risk associated with drilling those types of holes? I guess my question is if Ford put a cover there, was there a reason to keep something covered?
Sorry to hijack.
