Well, driving with the wife and she said, do you know the edge of the stripe is pealing up?, and I said "da fuq". Sure enough, from her seat you could see the edge was lifting.

Stripes be gone, LOL. Could have left them, the lifting was pretty slight, but that problem never gets better, so off they came. Have to say the car does look better without them.

Took it to the body shop that does all the work on my stuff. They did have to do a very slight amount of wet sanding to get rid off the stripe line on the hood.

Thought Ford should had installed 2.3T badges factory, so took care of that for them :)

^^^Now that's a man who is comfortable in his own skin!

You know the old saying: My car My money My way.

I like the looks of the new Mishimoto strut bar, so picked one up.

The testing they posted up was a good read.

Beautiful daily you've got there man. I was literally seconds away from signing on a 2016 EB a couple months back, but it just wasn't the right time financially. I was definitely impressed with the performance though for a daily. Especially since, like you, I've got a 3V project at home when I need an adrenaline fix.

Went to DB Performance today. Filled the car with non-oxy 91 octane (what was available).

Bone stock, did 4 pulls in 5th and 1 final pull in 3rd. Stock tune hits the 120 mph limiter around 5,700 rpm. Danny did the 1 pull in 3rd stock and modded to extend the rpm out to see what would happen.

Installed the CPe intercooler and UPR catch can and repeated to see how the intercooler would perform. There is no tune on the car. I copied 4 of the runs into a spreadsheet to make looking at the results a little easier.

Well worth the money I think.

Both excellent choices in mods, the stock FMIC is junk.

What's next? Bang for the buck is a tune.

Danny was like, so when are you gonna drop off and let me play with it, LOL. Really not in any hurry for a tune.

You order it yet? So how are you liking your new car? What do you think of the Ecoboost?

I did not order the hood yet.

The ecoboost is a fun car to daily. Glad I picked it up. There are some tempting parts on the market.
