If I were to do it again I would get 3/4" expanded metal instead of 1/2".

Total cost = ~$15. Spray painted black now.

Several thousand miles with mine and no issues. Great mileage, never had hesitation or intercooler issues prior either.

I put one on around 200 miles. Makes no sense that ford dosent protect it. I don't believe the hype of over heating. I sounder how many of the ic problems people have is because of damage from no protection.

An intercoolers purpose is not to keep your engine cool so I could not imagine it being a problem. Sure blocking it will reduce efficiency but I don't think it would be noticeable.

I'm using one I bought off Amazon:
Just had to close the ugly hole in front!

I want to cover the hole but I'm saving up to do a billet grill and matching IC hole billet all at once. I think the plastic tank ends would get damaged first.

I`m curious as to the whole lower grill section, I have been thinking of taking those plastic tag plates off, or whatever they are, but they are cosmetic right? and possibly putting a grill as all are talking about, but also having more room down below for extra lights. Has anyone seen those tag plates off, or info on this? Thanks

I failed to mention about putting a grill that would cover the whole lower section, more or less same size as upper grill, and mounting extra lights within the ends of the grill. Any thoughts guys?

One of the first things I bought at about 200 miles

Lol. Just incase you didn't see it the first time. I didn't.
