the use of the word "gauche" kinda explains this whole thread

 

since you ask, my 1988 mustang 5.0 had a metal intake. my acura is also metal.
and no i did not pop rthe hood. why should i dirty my hands. that's what servants are for.LOL

 

couldnt agree with you more. i have special servants to open up my hood too

 

You said engine cover, not intake... Mustangs don't even have an engine cover.

 

what's wrong with plastic... would you want it to be made in steel?

 

The guy is a doctor. He's trained to not look under the hood unless there's a nurse in the room with him. Old habits die hard.

 

I actually contacted a company about having Carbon Fiber covers made

They wanted to use my ABS covers as a template. I backed out because

I didn't like the idea of shipping my covers to a company I didn't know much

about.
