I've got an '05 ST with the 2.3L Duratec, and am a little disappointed that not very many aftermarket companies are making engine covers for our engines yet.
I mean, apart from Cosworth that wants $150 USD for one.
Personally I think the COP look is a little cluttered.
So I picked up a sheet of 18ga Stainless, and am in the process of fabricating one, I picked up a small metal brake to make the bends properly. And a hand air shear
I was curious if any other Duratec guys are interested in something like this. I'm not trying to make a crapload of money, just basically cover expenses for the steel (stainless or galvanized you can paint yourself) and defray my investment in the brake and shear.
And as a side note, I do have a day job, so if I make these they won't be a next day shipping thing.
I'll post pics when I get underway (I know I know, TTIUWP), just sending out some feelers.
