Snow White

You're EB is very similar to what I had in mind for my Oxford White cosmetically. How close of a match is the white powder coating of the MAP intake to the factory paint?

Great job by the way. Beautiful car.

Great looking car...wheels are def worth the extra cost. I'll go against the grain and say I'm not a fan of the stripe, though. Not just on your car, in general.

Gave her a bath and pulled the side stripes off. So glad I did it. It really cleans up the exterior.

Honestly, I've only seen it in the garage where the lighting wasn't great. But, from what I can tell it's pretty close. I was hoping to detail the engine bay over the weekend, but ran out of time. Once I do, I'll post some better under hood pics.

No changes, just some new pics:

Your car looks amazing.

I just placed an order with Redline for a shift boot and e-brake boot. Black leather with red stitching.

I'm itching to get my roof wrapped. Yours really looks clean.

I can't wait to see what else you do with it!

I appreciate that. I've got a couple other smaller things in the works. I've been trying to choose simple yet impactful mods with the limited budget I have.

Hi - I have a 2015 base 6 speed ecoboost oxford white as well and love it. Your car looks great. I really like the black roof wrap you had done. Could you elaborate on what material was used, how much did it cost, how has it held up since then?

Also, has the steeda strut brace made a noticeable difference in handling?

Lastly, any performance difference with the MAP CAI? Any plans for a tune?

Thanks

I had the wrap done locally, it was $140 (it was supposed to be $150, but the lady didn't have cash to make change ) I got a quote from other shop and it was $150. I believe she used Avery Dennison vinyl. It has held up well. I got some over spray on it from a project I was doing in my garage, so took a clay bar to it and it shined right up.

As far as the cai, the butt dyno says there was a little bump. But, it mostly looks and sounds cool. I will be getting a tune from MAP soon.
