Well today marks the 1st anniversary with this truck, and 8700 miles. Don't know what else may be done, other than going to 33" tires, and a big up grade in them from the garbage OEM Hankooks. Maybe a light window tint on the front doors.
I see one thing that I'm going to have to address, the paint chips on the front end. I looked all over my area for someone that would/could apply PPF, but drew a blank, so figured I'd chance it. Bad decision, I should have had someone down in metro Duhtroit do it.
Oh, one other thing, wrapping the bloody interior door pulls with that CF. Still having a big problem with it, I just might say screw it, and wrap them in black instead. I've had luck with the regular vinyl.

Doesn't matter!

Do you have enough black 3-M wrap to do your door pulls John? If not, let me know!

Glad you are enjoying your ecoboost, I have been loving mine. I'm glad I tried it out, but everytime I hear a 5.0 with an exhaust I sure do miss my 2014 with a 5.0. Then I drive my truck and realize how much I love the torque and power of my ecoboost. Haven't done an exhaust and I probably won't, unless it's the borla touring but then I still won't love it completely.

Thank you!! Know what you mean about the sound, the 5.0 sounds better without a doubt. Funny thing though, no one laughs when all they see is the tailgate! The Dodge boys know better, but the GM guys still have to try and prove themselves.
