Engine dress up?

[BBOX]

Besides working with the engine cover, is there any kind of dress up stuff out there for the 3.5L Ecoboost? I've looked all over and seemingly can't find anything to make the engine bay a little bit sexier, be it billet trim bits or whatnot.

It's a good question, but as far as I know there isn't any dress-up parts for the Ecoboost engine.  Would be cool if there were some other parts, but really don't know of anything available.

BPD Mike has had a custom engine cover made for his SHO, otherwise most folks are Plasti-dip'ing or painting the covers.  Seems the best choice right now is to measure out the parts that you want to "upgrade" and find generic dressup parts on auto sites like JC Whitney or Summit Racing or Jeg's etc.  If you want billet, maybe the guys at BilletBadges.com may be able to do something for you?

I'm having mine hydrographic'd by a guy from EBOF; costing me $150 bucks. I told him to come over here, might get some business.

He has a pattern that matches my 2013 pattern which if anyone has seen in person is not your traditional carbon; it's actually like a dot matrix pattern.

I have an entire, brand new set of the various plastic caps (coolant tank, oil, brake fluid, trans, washer tank, etc.) still laying around my house.

I had previously sent them to a company down in FL called "Billet Tech".

They had done a lot of engine dress up stuff for the Dodge/Chrysler/MOPAR platforms, including work on my previous build ('07 Charger).

I used to know a few people there, but it sounded like they left the company for greener pastures.

I sent them all of the Ecoboost caps described above, in an attempt to allow them to use as a template for stuff for our cars.

But to no avail.

They kept them for nearly 6mo.'s at which time they finally said "thanks, but no thanks".

They didn't see a market for 'em (at that time).

Ssssooooooo...... I guess my point is, if anyone's able to locate/secure a potential vendor for this type of project, I'd be more than willing to work out something in exchange for the use of my new one's that I still retained possession of....

I'll take a look at BilletBadges.com, see if that gets anything going.

That's a pretty good price, but I don't know how interested I would actually be in hydrographing the whole cover, unless maybe if it could be matched to my body color, which is something I may take a look at.

Perhaps now that the 3.5L Ecoboost is starting to become more common, it will change their, or someone's, tune. I'll keep in mind if I do find a vendor wanting to play ball, thanks Mike.
