Would look perfect from 10 feet away. What did you use for both colors (brand, like Krylon Fusion)? I have a few spare used Ford grille emblems, and would use one if I couldn't find heat resistant plastic paint.

Looks good!

It can't look perfect. Otherwise, you may preforming an engine cosmetic to match...

Anyway, - diggin that Rooster material below...perfect for my headliner.

I'm no decorator I expect. Grandma had an apron like that.

I used some Color Decor Indoor/Outdoor paint. Color is Bright Red. Also, I used white Whirlpool touch up paint for the letters. Here are the numbers:

Color Decor: CDS19
Whirlpool White: 72017

The spray can of red you can get at a True Value. The Whirlpool paint I ordered from dey distributing.

Did the air intake GOTTS mod today. Fairly simple, actually. Also, looking to upgrade my throttle body, any suggestions?

Not much has changed, besides Red pinstripe, chrome rockers, chrome door handles (Don't work worth a damn) and 2015 F150 Emblems. The chrome really brought out the side of the truck, sometime this year my fender flares should get here... Oh, also forgot to add, I put window vents on.

Before chrome rockers:


Can't really see anything but the door handles on this one, but after the chrome rockers.
