It's an explorer - everything is @rse about, but thought it may inspire you in some way!? The air filter is a 9" long, 3" neck K&N pod filter, and I made that custom cover for it - painted it with VHT wrinkle spray (available in black, blue or red) for that "factory" look - kind of.

I want to do a few more things to mine still. I'm waiting for Pole position to make the red silicone hoses for the au v8, and hopefully they will make the heater and water pump ones too, and im seriously thinking about taking the extractors off and getting them HPC coated.

Love my engine cover but I cant leave it on there all the time as it rubs. If I could get a standard one even in bad condition Id paint it up and put it on there.

Or you could always bulge-up the bonnet, giving it clearance enough that it doesn't rub ;)

And by the way, damn that looks nice! I can see why you wouldn't want it rubbing.

Unfortunately I don't have any pics of under the bonnet of my AU 6'er, althought its bog standard and nowhere near as clean as the rest of the car, I should do something about that though after seeing these inspirations!
