Default Mach 1 Valve Covers

Just bought a 2003 Mach and noticed that it has aluminum* valve covers. I thought 03's only came with painted black covers and 04's came with aluminum. Any thoughts??? I know the guy I bought it from personaly so the motor's never been swapped or anything.

I thought all 4V came with aluminum valve covers. I know the Lincolns are aluminum, just painted black.

i know my 04 mach had aluminum valve covers....the 03 mach's are aluminum as well, but painted black. There are some other very minor differences between the 03 and 04 mach's, but nothing major.

Not sure if you are a member of the mach 1 registry, but if not check out their forum. You can find just about every piece of information known to man about 03/04 mach's.
