Thanks for posting that picture, I KNEW the intake cover looked a bit different in the 2015 parts catalogue illustration, however, it's not a real photo in the catalog, and having not seen one in person yet...not sure if I really like that cover...but it'll grow on me

Thanks. The first time I did it I tried to make cutout a and notches for the hoses and it turned out awful. So I cut my losses and ended up with what you see. I'm happy with it

Looks awesome, I don't know why someone hasn't come up with a direct fit for the 5.0, without any modification, be it OEM or aftermarket

I'm digging it. changes things just enough to not look so plain, but requires no modding of existing items

Instead of making a completely different direct fit cover, someone should come up with a plug-n-play replacement set of hoses, so that you only need to trim around the air intake (or no trim with aftermarket cold air intake).

One thing to notice fellas is if you look at the pick i posted the heater hoses on the 2015 mustang are moved over to the left side where the current f150 hoses are, and if the new 2015 trucks come setup the same way then the 2015 mustang covers should snap right into place. I looked at 2 new mustang gt's yesterday and noticed the location and routing of hoses. I am pretty sure that is not the A/C, but I amy have to take another look next time I am at the dealer.

For the right price I could make another set

Pretty sure those are not heater hoses...besides the 2015 cover is nowhere as good looking as the 2014.

FYI my hoses I made were over $100 for parts alone, and I even cheaped out on the hose, and would have liked techflex on it instead of wire loom.

I can do it, but it would probably have to be a lot of people wanting them to get a decent discount on price.
