BOSS LADY
Michelle Holstien of Moreno Valley, California, grew up with a passion for cars. She took auto shop in high school for two years, and her dad, Bruce, helped her build a ’72 Ford Econoline van and a ’62 Econoline pickup.
But she really had her heart set on a Boss 302 Mustang. Just listen to her talk about the Boss: “For as long as I can remember, I have always had an interest in Bosses.
Bigger Binders
After seeing several ʼ05 Mustangs fitted with StopTech brakes on display at various shows, we made it a point to talk with them about the system they have designed for this car. The result was an impromptu testing session at the California Speedway in Fontana. As it turns out, just because the company had developed a kit that fit the Mustang didnʼt mean they were finished—not by a long shot.
HISTORY OF THE SUV
America’s love for the automobile has been evident and strong from day one, ever since the first horseless carriage rolled off the assembly line some 100-plus years ago. The fascination was slow at first for these virtually handmade motorized contraptions, but once they reached production, and Henry Ford made it feasible for anyone to own one, the automobile has helped shape our economy and has influenced the way we live our daily lives. Today, it’s hard to think of life without it.

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.

And for those looking for something truly one-of-a-kind, the geniuses at Pyramid Optimized Design can assist with custom options, helping you create a set of cam covers that perfectly complements your swap and your vision.
