I would have been near there after discounts/rebates before trade and fees (rolled 1.9k from trade). I started the mods list in a modest fashion... buuuut that went out the window and grew and grew lol. All in all, I was looking at a Focus RS, GT350, Raptor, & also the Roush Nightmare. Doing it this way, I get a one off custom piece and still am thousands cheaper than any of those vehicles. Sure, I'll take a hit for it being an XL currently. At some point the books will end up recognizing the STX which will help out on that end a little down the line, but that's if I was planning on getting rid of her which I see no reason to.

Part numbers listed on my invoice:
JL3Z 16720 A
JL3Z 16720 B
He had to jump around quite a bit to find em himself. I hope this helps though as they should have done this little minor detail in the first place lol.

Anytime bud. Being that the 18s are so new I was surprised he was even able to find em because I was ready to go swipe em off that truck
. He did say that there's currently like 15-20 of em available nationwide.

Thanks bud. Likewise for your truck.. However, I do regret happening upon your page because now I am trying to dissect everything I'd like to do to the interior of mine lol.. By the way, have you dropped the turbos in your's yet?

One of the hardest mods I've been trying to figure out was the fender emblems. For all of us current STX owners the fender badge has "XL" for the trim... personally I detest this. The only black badge option that I could find was the black with red outline which would stick out like a sore thumb against my paint. Other option was to remove em, get the individual F-150 emblems that would be located on the tailgate and then fill in the post holes. Or sand down the "XL" and fill it with bondo then plasti-dip the whole badge black. I was just about to pull the trigger on the latter.
HOWEVER, so everyone knows who owns an STX and also hates this:
The new 2018 STX's have a proper badge that says "STX" on them now and was able to order them through my local service department!!!!

No but I have to as I have a slow oil leak. Took it in under warranty...they looked at it and said it was leaking from the driver side oil return line. Wanted to keep it all day to fix...I said no! Last time they damaged a wheel and had to replace it. Since I am replacing the turbos anyway, I will do this repair my self..... Too bad your turbos are cast into the manifolds....makes it nearly impossible to upgrade them.....until someone comes out with a kit! Yeah, it's in the works.
That sounds bunk!! But all will be fixed with upgrades right? Lol. I'm not even sure at this point if I want to upgrade the turbos but only time will tell when the last of the bolt-ons make their way onto the truck with the tune. I believe the Nano uses K03 turbos which are the same as the Focus ST. If that's the case, Mountune makes an elbow adapter for turbo upgrades to that model, and the minor upgrade would be to go onto EBay or a pick-a-part and find me two Colbalt SS's and yank their K04 turbos.
One thing that has bugged me since putting on the intake and charge pipes was that the intake itself doesn't run all the way to the turbo housing... I'm thinking of fabbing up two pieces that will run from the housing to the intake with less bends, and run the same diameter as the AFE tubing until it actually needs to narrow down to seal to the turbo.

I have the part #s listed a couple replies up. As for an FX4 badge I have never seen one for the 2015-2017 gen. They do have them for the 2009-2014 gen. But maybe the 2018s will have that again. Just haven't seen a FX4 2018 yet.
