Product Spotlight: Dynamat Xtreme Bulk Pack
If your ride still sounds like a tin can at speed, it’s time to get serious. Dynamat Xtreme isn’t a luxury add-on — it’s a foundational upgrade for builders who want their cars to feel tight, solid, and finished. This is the same material trusted in high-end customs, competition cars, and OE applications for one simple reason: it works.

RODS ON THE RIVER

A FITTING TRIBUTE
When we shoot a feature, we give the owner a tech sheet to fill out to tell us about all the parts that were used on the truck. The tech booklet tells us what shocks or body modifications have been performed, and we always ask why that person has decided to build that particular truck. Many times the answer is that their father had one when the owner was a kid. This is the case with Hector Leon and his ’57 Chevy.

Clean Up Your Engine Bay
These covers are built for builders who love the Coyote’s performance but want to add some visual order to all that function. Designed specifically for the third-gen Coyote engine, they deliver a cleaner, more intentional appearance by concealing the busy coil packs and top-end components that usually steal attention from an otherwise killer swap.
Designed to Fit Your Build
Whether you’re running a supercharger, a custom intake, or you’re just a fan of the factory manifold’s shape, these cam covers slip right in to complement your setup. They’re shipped in a matte black finish, ready to install straight out of the box — or scuff and shoot them to match your car’s paint, detail color, or intake theme.
Simple, Stylish, and Functional
This package includes only the valve cover covers, keeping the install simple while letting you handle the look your way. The end result? A Gen 3 Coyote that doesn’t just perform like a modern muscle hero — it looks the part too.
Customization Options
