If without the cover will look like that, then Yea.

But if they kept it like the powdercoat color greyish or chrome-like
then without

Thanks for your replies. After posting this poll on several boards, it seams that over 80% want the cover, just hope that Ford is listening

Well you figure $s per HP, Mustang GT is @ $92, GTO @ $95 C6 @ $119, Viper @ $170 & Ford GT @ $282 at best... -The current Cobra the only one that beats the equation...

I don't like the covers. Thats just one more thing that has to be removed before you can work on the engine.

Overall, I think the engine bay in the new Mustang looks sloppy and unorganized. You can tell the bean-counters were involved under the hood. They could stand to take some lessons from the Japanese.

With the cover. Looks bare without it and I'm sure if you are worried about taking it off to work on the motor that it is not going to be a complicated task.
