I like it. As @jabrego mentioned you have to be careful. I move mine as high up as I can to avoid the handle marring/scratching the dash trim.
How do you like the intake? Any improvements in turbo noice or maybe more torque off the line. I have considered getting one but am unable to decide if it’s worth it. Always here very mixed opinions on air intakes.Installed the AFE Stage 2 intake with a dry filter. Got it while it was on sale for tree fiddy at American trucks. Would really love to pull the trigger on a tune but the furthest I’ve done tune-wise in the past is swapping chips back in my BMW days lol. It would definitely help with these heavy tires. Lol…
two weeks ago I got my rear 3 windows tinted with 25% 3M ceramic. I already had the front 2 done with 15% ceramic but I wanted more interior protection than just the “smoked” glass.
Here is the How To thread. Good luck!
I have read the same as you. You can definitely hear the turbos spool up more and you can hear the intake gulping big air in the low RPMs. I went with AFE because they were the only (or 1 of very few) that claimed tq/hp increases. I suspect it’s very minimal without actually having a tune. I didn’t buy it expecting power gains, it was more for the noise and it was on sale. I’d be eyeing either the roush or the AFE for some time but couldn’t justify 450-500$ for “noise”. The sale made it an easier choice and I’m slowly prepping for actually getting a tune. I wouldn’t get a tune without first having the Bolt ons already done but that’s just me.

Congrats, John! That is a stunning F-150!From last Friday: Bought my 2023 XL reg cab 8' bed, 5 months after I ordered it. 2 options only: race red and the 2.7.
From yesterday, Sunday: installed the WeatherTech bed and tailgate liners. Nice stuff from WT!
Looks awesome! How did you red out the chrome strip on the tails?Not a fan of the Morimoto tail lights because of the embossed BLISS symbol so decided to put in LED tail light bulbs in my tinted XLT tails. Also threw in LED license plate bulbs so now all exterior lighting is bright white instead of a mix with halogen.
They aren't red. I had my vinyl shop tint the chrome accents only. Just enough overlap so that no matter the angle, you can't see chrome.
