Duratec owners, who would be interested in an engine cover designed especially for Focus Duratecs. Attached is a pic of the engine cover on the Mazda 3, minus the Mazda emblem. What I have in mind is something similar, but only with an attractive Focus or Ford (blue oval) emblem. I would also want to design it a little longer in the front to cover some of the intake's nastiness and integrate the dipstick. What do you guys think? How much would you pay for something like this? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Depending how nice it turns out I might be willing to go as high as $40 for it.

Not sure, But I will be going by the dealership tomorrow. I will find out. Thanks for the response nuttypet. This is the one thing I HATE about the duratec. When you open the hood, you are hit immediately by all the wires and crap on the top of the engine. This would definately clean up the top of the engine compartment.

I aint feeling the design of the cover(s) pictured...
Personally, i like seeing the valve cover.
It's the ugly intake manifold that hurts my eyes.
just my opinion.

I would pay more for the brushed aluminum.

I think that looks really nice, but I would like to see it under 100.
all i can say is def in as long as under $100 depending on how it turns out. not feeling the brushed look, just not what i'm going for. but i guess it's paintable. i would be in for this the second they were ready to ship. it would really help out the look of our engine bay. hope u follow thru and keep us updated! my question is, can you purchase these as pictured? i would love anything to hide the cluster F that is the top of the duratec engine. LOL

I love the idea, though I'd like to see it come in under $100 also. I couldn't agree more with what jmotank said...anything to hide that rat's nest of wires and crap on top of the engine would be well worth the $$. Good luck, keep us posted on how things are going ! [thumb]

I like the brushed aluminum thats the look I like, just make sure that it does not bend when you lean on it.

I'd definitely pay under $100. Probably closer to $50. I cannot really justify spending $100 for a piece of plastic or aluminum that most would never see, including myself. But it would make my PZEV engine bay look much neater.
