I agree!

Here are Shelby caps (not cap covers) for a 2v Mustang on the coolant reservoir and oil fill spout. 



The dipstick handle and brake reservoir cap did not fit, but at least it dressed it up a bit.  Would like to find out if there's a Mustang dipstick and brake cap that cross over.

Z......

The directions state that those covers simply fit over, or slip on top of, the original factory plastic covers. They are held in place using double-sided tape.

That said, I see no reason why you, or anyone else couldn't make them work on the EB's.

Worth a try.

According to their website, these are actual emblems and not sticker overlays?

I will make my story short and sweet because i'm still a bit shook up after this incident and very fortunate that my experience was without incident.

I was driving my daughter to school early this morning and after that finally got in the highway and had some room to clean some cob webs out and went from 80-mph to 110-mph in matter of couple seconds to later find out that the brakes would not function and the brake light on dashboard came on followed by it beeping.

I was very fortunate to be able to stop and clearly was a wake up call.
I found the vacuum line connector popped off the intake manifold.  :o

I would reiterate,emphasize to any member to please check your vacuum lines periodically to verify that they are properly connected,secured to your intake manifold Tuned or not modified or not,just my 2 cent worth. Z

That would scare the bejeezus out of me too!  Glad everyone is ok!  Wonder why that thing popped off in the first place ... Second the call to clamps.
