Very nice! Looks like it could have come from the factory that way.

That's my exact set-up... except without the emblem on the brace. Very nice. Makes the engine look far more impressive with the cover and brace in there.

Except for the 3.7 Emblem and the plastidip, mine did come from the factory that way.


Looking Good

Much nicer.

It's a pity Ford didn't put more effort into the look of the V6 under the hood. The Coyote, by comparison, looks superb........like the proverbial jewel in a jewel box, as Mr Foose says

I like the strut tower brace, but I'm not a fan of the engine cover. Covers too much, and gives it a "lopsided" look. I like to see the pieces/parts of the engine exposed. I feel the same way with my Harley; I stay away from chrome and covers. I usually remove as much "excess" as I can. I keep removing parts until the engine quits; then I put back the last part I removed! (kidding of course).

Makes for a cleaner engine compartment.

Looks great, I had a similar idea for the brace with 3.7 on it. Looking at yours, I really think I'm gonna do it.
