This is part of a video series in which we are going over the steps to create a custom engine cover for our 2020 and 2021 Mustang GT. These videos will cover the process from start to finish; starting with the design idea, then creating the prototype part (plug), making a mold, and lastly, creating a finished product from the mold.

I love the creative aspect of this build. Its so satisfying watching your ideas materialize.

[@mcgurrentertainment]

Thank you very much!!! It was a fun build and hopefully more to come.

[@timleuliette899]

This turned out looking great. Be cool to see how you decide to paint it. I have the Roush engine covers on my car and did a little something with them.

[@mcgurrentertainment]

Thank you very much. The paint job is going to be pretty simple, but it should make it pop.

[@Imissthefuhrer]

Cool so you can trap more heat inside your engine bay. 👍

[@mcgurrentertainment]

That's why we did a temperature test at 25:53. 😁
