Here's mine. Tried to clean everything up, paint match as much as possible and replace all the clamps with t-bolts....

How much does a tuck job like that cost?

The brackets from Stroud Design are about $300 I think? If you're doing it yourself then that's really the only cost. Not sure what a shop would charge to do it, though

I just have to ask.....

How long did it take you to hide the harnesses and modules that were normally everywhere?

I had to work on it on my lunch hours, but all together maybe 12-14 hours if I could work on it continuously. Granted, I had the bumpers off already and fender liners out. It took a few weeks because of the start stop. Plus I had to buy a few more things for the kit like longer battery cables, etc.

Here's my 4 banger. I may have wanted to wait to get some of the carbon fiber covers instead, but some were not in stock and I'm always rushing. I still like this look, but second guessing not going for more carbon fiber.

Saw some cool stuff in this thread. Also definitely going to plasti-dip the top of my headlights before this Sunday's Cars n Coffee show thanks to this thread :-)

And another 4 banger here! Latest mod under the hood is a carbon fiber strut tower brace.

Link to the strut brace?
Also, is the filter thing you got where the oil cap would go just for looks or actually does something for our little engines?

Strut brace: https://www.americanmuscle.com/carbon-fiber-strut-tower-brace-1518-gt-ecoboost.html

I picked up the filtered crankcase vent cheap from Amazon. I'd been getting intermittent engine codes and thought it might help. The codes stopped, so I guess it helped. I haven't noticed any performance gains with it.

Holy moly $400 for the strut brace? I'll stay with my $175 Ford Performance brace. Damn.

I like the vent cover thing though. Looks cool.

You’ve done a great job! CF is for deep pockets and a waste of money..IMHO! As you can see with the strut bar... do something different to your bar...make it personal not the same as everybody else’s!
