3G customs. Very easy to install. Painted and installed myself. Install took 15-20 min after paint

Right Side Power Steering Cover

Yes they go right over all wires and coil packs. 2 bolts on fuel rail are how they secure to engine. Don't have to remove anything except the 2 existing bolts in fuel rail. They do come with instructions. From the website it looks like they will work on 2006 all the way up to 2014. 2015-16 selection not available but I am sure with a phone call a guy could get them made.

They fit on the 16's---I took them off my 13 and they fit just fine on the 16.

Hey David...Thanks man...I saw that many leave top cover off, just don't know if I want to see that plastic intake lol. It would look better with a supercharger on top of it...just not there yet. lol This is why I want to paint them opposite so that both covers compliment one another. I am leaning toward black with red lettering on 3G half covers and black center red lettering and red outer on top cover. Gonna have painted at a shop so won't look as plastic. How is your Jeep coming? I noticed when I PM'd you that my phone screwed up some of the words..so you probably didn't understand what I meant. Was inferring on your new project. I got the jeep PCM cover yesterday, it's a little smaller than the PCM in the truck, but fits. Question did you trim the little tabs underneath? I might use this as a mock up to get one Fabbed up at local metal shop that fits perfectly. I also pulled your specs for a battery box cover...spoke with 3G customs but might be better having fabbed locally where they can see truck. Yeah, so the plan is to get the PCM, battery cover, top motor cover, and fuse box done up. Powder coat the 3G customs half covers, and install red silicon hoses with the 180 stat and then all the BT candy. I should complete over the next 4 weeks. You can watch progress here.

I think I agree with DavidRam about leaving off the engine cover after the Half Covers are on there. But IF you do decide to paint the engine cover, all that red might draw the eye away from your half covers. You may want to consider a more subdued paint scheme on the engine cover that goes well with the silver and black of your truck. I have a silver truck too and here is a shot of my engine cover:

The center of the cover is gloss black with red letters (decal). The faux intake tubes are flat black and the sides of the cover are silver wheel paint. It has a nice "engine" look to it IMO and doesn't look too plastic. Something like this would look great with your black, chrome and red half covers and the S&B intake.

Did you order the raw steel ones? Then painted them right?

Looks real good.

Here is a pic of the red silicone hoses. Paint will match the red.

These off ebay? Those will work on our trucks? I see the long one looks fine but that short doesn't look right I don't think.

I got the hoses from auto anything on a 20% off sale. HPS Silicone come in 3 colors and made for the ram.

Engine cover yes, I was going to paint outsides red and leave black in middle and use chrome letters on the cover.

Looks like I'm late to the party.....it looks great! I love modifying my trucks. It's too bad my wifey doesn't agree....lol.

I haven't seen one with the half covers and the engine cover both. Will be anxious to see what it looks like.

[Hipps2000]

If I had a Varam cai I would remove it...but I have an S&B...so will see how they look just called and covers are finished powder coat jet black chrome and red! If Billet ever gets the water necks finished I'll install the 180 and hoses.

 

[Pull Ya]

Sounds like it's really going to look good. Had my 1/2 covers powder coated clear and they worked out great.

Picked up my covers this afternoon! Came out nice...just gotta install.

 

[Hipps2000]

Another pic the chrome looks bad ass.

 

[Hipps2000]

[DavidRam]

Those turned out awesome Hipps! Get them installed and let's see more pics!

What black is that? Flat, textured?

 

[Hipps2000]
