What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

I installed a new Motorcraft FP-68 Cabin air filter today which took me roughly five minutes to install and below are pic's of the filter after a year and even the a/c seems to have better air flow and feel's colder and a cheap alternative to preventative maintenance.  Z

Nice, I also just bought one but have not done this yet. Curious what my valves look like now that I have had a few gallons of meth go through them.

Yeah.... no meth here.... might try that BG service everyone talks about?

I had a hard time getting a good picture/video of down at the bottom of the IC... but at one point i did manage to cover the camera lens up (thankfully it's waterproof/resistant) So I'll be jacking her up and trying to suck anything i can out with some sort of extractor/pump.
I had the BG Performed a while back which they recommend doing it every 30k and you might want to install an oil catch can after you have the cleaning performed for extra measures and certainly pays for itself IMHO.  Z
 
Let me preface what you are about to see by saying that my car has the $500 Crystal Champagne Metallic paint option.  For the extra money you get a car that has at least 4 different mismatched panels in a Champagne looking white color.  All of the body that is painted together matches, but the trim pieces are slightly off.

The worst one for me is the center of the trunk because it's dead center of the enormous back end. 

What to do?  Plasti-dip of course. LOL.  I think it makes it look sportier.  Whatcha' think?

Looks great! I personally don't like badges on my cars.... Makes people say, "what was that?" When I go by, LOL. I love that you don't have the big bright work bar like the SHO.
Maybe add a taillight treatment...

 
Thanks to all!

I completely agree on addressing the taillights.  On past cars I used VHT Nightshade.  Do I dare try that or should I go the Lamin-x route?  Lamin-x just seems way overpriced, but I would like for the modification to be reversible. 

I would not care if these taillights weren't stupid expensive to replace.

Wondering the same thing. It's next on my list.

I have Laminex... Charcoal, and no tickets in over 2 1/2 years. They have held up to Phx sun and heat as well as AZ mountains and snow. If you go Laminex Do Not use the precut kits. They do not fit! Just buy bulk cut from a roll. There are other brands that are just as good, but wanted the blacked out look and everything else was lighter.  Do it in the summer regardless, and a heat gun is your friend... There are some tough compound curves that take time to do. I spent nearly 45 minutes per side on the parts not in the trunk lid. Also recommend high power LED backup lights or else rely completely on sensors and camera to backup at night. Be sure the turn signal ambers are LED also as the LEDs will shine right through about any film you apply.
