This post is more for me, but if it helps anyone that'll be ok too. Bought my 2015 XLT Sport SCrew on 09/30 and I love the truck, but it's missing personal touches to make it truly mine. Also, the truck I had originally picked out was sold before I decided to pull the trigger, so when I landed on this one there were a few options missing that I didn't think I needed that I now want. My wife doesn't understand this new found obsession, so this build thread will be low and slow! I'll try to keep up with pricing I've found, dealers I like, and adding pictures when I can.

Sounds sick, I especially like the supercharger idea.
Says it doesn't fit the 2015s. Have a guy a the local part store pricing it out for me. $330 seems top heavy but I guess it's because I have the newer body style. Has anyone used the dry filter version (the blackhawk)?

Oh sorry I could have sworn when I originally read your post, it said you had a 2014. I missed that
TRIPLE POST FTW! - not really, sorry mods in advance, not bumping because I want comments...
Instead, here's my edited thoughts on the AVS Aeroskin:
1. Easy to install
2. Good fit
3. Fair price compared to OE and Lund branded bug shields
4. Matte black looks more like flat gray in direct, artificial light .
I'll take pics in the daylight tomorrow just to make sure the poor lighting isn't the problem.
Edit:
Daylight pic of the AVS Aeroskin Matte Black - installed 11/03
In other news, badge installed and looks good, and so do the Sylvania 168 LED bulbs I put in the rear license mounts. Quick, simple, amazingly bright. Also going to cost me more money soon since I know need to change out all OE halogens to match brightness and warmth... oh well, guess I could blow my money on more superfluous things.

Reason: Added pic of aeroskin and changed review
Got the tailgate debadged over the weekend and finally installed the Husky Wheel Well Liners. Plastidipped my rear F150 badge as a trial run before this weekend when I plan on doing the fender badges and the Ford emblems. Will post daylight pics when I get a chance. AntennaX 14" billet shorty antenna should be in tomorrow.
