Default Top Half of the Coyote 5.0 being "fugly"

There are some people that might say they prefer a small block for driving cruising etc., but when it comes down to selling, the FE builds will always bring more money.
On the topic of the new modular 5.0 there is one problem and that is the top half of the engine isnt very attractive, even with the dress up kit. I am sure they will address this problem soon and aftermarket parts will be available to make it look better, but with the exception of the 5.0 mod motors with a twin screw supercharger sitting on top, i have to agree that the stock intake and dress up kit are pretty fugly.
You have no quarrel with me on that point.....those valve covers used on the Raybestos Rod built by Hollywood Hot Rod? are completely beautiful, but a simple option of the intake valleys and valve covers (coil covers?) are in part solved by the upper end from a 2012 Boss 302, which Ford sells....it also allows you to bump the power towards the 440HP mark, out of 5 litres and still being normally aspirated....those Boss components do look a LOT better, at least to me....My Two Cents again.....
