I got rid of the place where the stickers go... I will be putting air brush on it as soon as I get my built block... Do it all at the same time.

I like that carbon fiber shroud!!! I saw those, but a bit pricey... I am having it painted for free..(12 pack really )That does look nice though...

hey 35th pony... did you use a different piece for the top??? How did you remove the area where the sticker went? Looks good!

I also want to see if I can get some chrome screws to go in the place of the plastic ones.

Got my truck used, previous owner had taken off all the stickers on the shroud.

When I got my intake I peeled the 5.4 S/C emblem off the stock airbox and put it all the way to the right on the shroud, in the area that's set off from the rest of it, where the old stickers went.

I'll put up a pic after work, not that it's any big deal though. Just for fun.

I got mine from DG Motorsports.com ..... the only one to make the actual c/f to my knowledge. I think Pheonix Imagining can replicate the c/f look for a little less, but, there is a "core" charge. It looks good but when you put it beside the real c/f you can see a real diffenence. I have the DG c/f dash kit as well but had to go with PI for the door handles/switch covers.

How did you smooth it down?
I know where the orig. sticker went are
lines that would need to be shaved down or something....


thanks,
Rich

Took the words right off my keyboard!!!

I think that shroud looks great!! Lots of work.....I need some of those fasteners though!!


Let's see it bootbox!!!

KB ZILLA......looks great....as always! If ever saw a speck of dirt on that thing, I would be disappointed.

Also....who makes the billet "Lightning" piece on this shroud????
