Got my lower k-brace and insulator on this morning, haven't driven it yet but install was straightforward and done in less than an hour without power tools.

Goddamn quads look Soo good. I keep telling myself that I don't want them but it's not working.

Did you install the quads in the stock rear bumper???

I made a cover for the GT350 CAI in my 2016 GT.

I did this in an attempt to lower Intake Air Temps when driving at low speeds or at idle. When driving my car at or near highway speed, the IAT hovers about 5-7 degrees above ambient temps. But when idling, the IAT soars!!

I wanted to seal the air box somewhat, but I also like the look of the open element air box. We'll see if this does the trick without restricting airflow??

I bought a sheet of clear Lexan/Plexi-Glass at Home Depot. Then I made a cardboard template and did several trial fittings before finalising the shape of the template. Then I cut the plex-glass with my Dremel tool and a fiber cutoff wheel, and then peeled the protective cover off the plexi-glass.

The GT350 CAI air box has a rubber seal (as you can see) that accepts the plex-glass cover nicely, thus there is no need for any other way of securing the clear cover to the air box.

I like it.
Thank you! I got the red trims from eBay lol. Got it for about $23 from what I can remember and searched for the following terms "Ford Mustang 2015 Air Vent Trim Aluminum". Just did a search saw silver, blue, and purple available.
