Shunderwunders AG build

Ordered her early August and I got the call she was here on April Fools Day. Luckily it was not a joke and I promptly cancelled plans & headed to get her. Since it had been many months of waiting, I had accumulated a few goodies. Here's the day 1 pics.

First round of upgrades were graphics. I got most of them from RappyGraphics. The bedsides are OEM SE decals from a 2014 Raptor. I cut the SVT off, trimmed the top edge with black because it is normally just open, & then trimmed the whole thing in orange. Also added the Builtright Industries rear seat latch pull & a shorty antenna.

Next up were the wheels. Method Con6 that I painted the lip & center ring satin Magnetic & powdercoated the bolts black. Followed that up with a Bakflip MX4 cover. The wheels ended up seeming too dark for me so I ended up swapping the bolts out for stainless.

Sprayed the rear wheel wells with bedliner. Took a lot longer than I was anticipating this stuff sprays pretty slow. Trigger finger was feeling the pain. Used 3 cans. Had My Gibson MWA muffler installed. Not impressed with the quality of work done but atleast its not really visible and there's no exhaust leak. I'm pleased with the sound & doesn't seem to drone. Installed some Rigid Ignite lights to add some brightness to my reverse lights. I like the placement but it does cast a shadow in the center because the exhaust blocks them some. I may space the further out at some point.

Wrapped media bin door, dash trim & door panel inserts with 3M di-noc carbon. Installed pedal commander which I did like but found myself changing all the time and could never decide on the right setting. Eventually I removed it & will put it up for sale. Installed JMS BoostMaxx but it caused a starting issue occasionally and JMS gave me a full refund with no hastle.

Got some 3.5L badges from UPR & customized them. Wanted to give a little love to the EcoBoost

Decided to change up the look on my ADD intercooler with some orange but ultimately decided to strip it down to raw metal for a cleaner look. Had the Stealth R bumper powdercoated to match the factory trim. The color is a little lighter but overall it looks great. Installed a cheap light bar because ill almost never use it so decided not to spend the extra money there. It still looks great & works well.

Found these RUN-D cubes that are a great look in the bumper & made some little brackets to hold them from scrap aluminum I had. Aslo put a set of factory running lights in the end of the bumper to be used as turn signals as soon as I get a chance to wire them up. Slapped on a Roush intake & finally the nGauge with 5Star tunes. loving it so far!

Good work, thanks for sharing all the upgrades. I'm sure it's a joy to drive

Nice upgrades. Only thing I dislike is the orange fender stripes. Is the intercooler install pretty simple? Just remove the grill and front bumper?
