    Firstly, Huge thank you to Xtra. This, I imagine, was a bigger task than he anticipated.

    I believe this project has met, if not exceeded everyone's expectations. Well done Sir!

     

    Aesthetically, it is a big difference. This intake classes up the engine bay substantially, where before it was pretty bland and lackluster to be honest.

    Functionality of the intake has yet to be tested, and look forward to what other peoples results are (temps or otherwise) after install.

     

    As for the install itself, It really couldn't be more straight forward. If you know how to access your hood release lever and open your hood, you can do this install! its that easy lol! ?

    One or two of the holes weren't perfectly centered, but the clips will go in without struggle (in my experience). 

     

    A quick before and after:

    A little closer up, loving the carbon look

    I have used McGard and Gorilla lug nuts in the past with no complaints. I plan on replacing my lug nuts with either or when the time comes.

    The mcgard website is pretty easy to navigate, the link below will take you directly for our lug nuts:

    The gorilla lug nut site leaves a lot to be desired as its not a straight forward to navigate, It requires you to know the size.  Some of you know and some of us don't know that information off the of our heads. I circumvent that by calling and asking what I want.  Haven't used them in ages but I'm pretty sure the info you want is a click or a call away.

    HTH

     

     

    I second this, They look amazing. Most of all they're high quality

    The stock OEM Lugs are atrocious, unfortunately. Ford should be embarrassed. the chrome 'shell' over the actual lug nut swells up and strips too easily, makes it difficult to remove over time. Had to remove them my self with a Stripped lug nut removal socket. that's after only having my wheels rotated a hand full of times at a dealership. (granted, they probably weren't very careful)

     

    I got mine off amazon here:

    They also come in black (at a cost):

    Plus these sets come with wheel locks, which are $30 by them selves. so not a bad deal over all.
