    Pinstripes. Is it still a thing?

    Grab a roll of vinyl pinstriping in the color of your choice and try it. Leave it on for a week, take it off if you hate it. Never know until you give it a go. The vinyl is completely reversible and easy to redo. I probably would not do it myself, but would like to see what it looks like?

    GEN 2 Trim getting dull

    Cerakote Ceramic Trim Kit - Amazon or Walmart. You will be amazed with the results, makes the trim look OEM new. Super easy to apply and should last a year/two. All my trim went from slightly chalky to nice fresh black. Dries to touch so no streaks after getting wet like the other solutions...

    Back window shattered, trust Safelite?

    I bought my truck used and the rear window was replaced previously by someone that was terrible at their job. It was not installed in the right location and leaked. I had it replaced with a new back window by a local auto glass replacement company that was incredible. I got their contact...

    Battery replacement

    I just replaced my battery with an OEM Motorcraft, got it from RockAuto, best price I found online. Only issue was the battery they sent me was manufactured in 10/2021 which I thought was a little old for a "new" purchase. Also, found out they do not have customer support you can contact, only...

    Painting skid plate

    I did mine with Plasti-Dip (Black). It's removable, easy to apply, easy to touch up, and chip resistant.

    Brown Tires

    Castrol Super Clean (Full Strength) and/or Westley's Bleach White then switch to a water based tire dressing. Water based tire dressing typically does not last as long but also makes cleaning the tires much easier in the future.

    How is this piece removed?

    I'm curious why you want to replace it to? If it's because of the flap sticking up in the front...I had the same and tucked it back under itself. Looks better.

    GEN 2 FSA 21B10 (Cam Phasers) and a tune (Phishing?)

    @GooseTuned Does uninstalling the Accessport also remove the TCM tune or is that a separate step? I also need to get the PCM update at the dealer for the phasers and have the Goosetuned with the COBB TCM.

    Vinyl Wrap Brand/Color Match Factory Gunmetal Grey Metallic Trim Color?

    Update - 3M Satin Dark Grey - Shade lighter, slight more of a blueish tint, and could be a bit glossier. Most of my paint is ceramic coated so the my painted sections might be a bit glosser than normal because of that leading to the difference. Not close enough for me. Need something a little...

    Vinyl Wrap Brand/Color Match Factory Gunmetal Grey Metallic Trim Color?

    I have looked into that and can't seem to find any used ones in good shape for that price. Most are already damaged (more then my existing). My existing one is not really damaged/dented/gouged just the paint is flaking of because of a poor dealer spot paint touch up when I bought the truck...

    Gen2 Rear Backup Camera Module Replacement?

    I need to replace my backup camera module OEM Part # HL3V-19G490-AA but can't find any reasonable replacements with the same part number? Lens is scratched because tailgate dropped against concrete wall in parking garage. Closest thing I can fine is for part # FL3Z-19G490-B and FL3Z-19G490-C ...

    Vinyl Wrap Brand/Color Match Factory Gunmetal Grey Metallic Trim Color?

    3M Satin Dark Grey is a close match. It has a bit of a blue'ish tint to it compared to the factory color which is nothing but grey but is very close. The 3M Matte Dark Grey is a little to dull compared to the factory paint. It's almost like the factory finish is right in between Matte & Satin...
