That would look good against black ... are you thinking about doing side vents too ?

Yeah but most likely in reverse of grille and tailgate design, so for the fender badges go with a black background (possibly anodized look) and orange lettering. I think an all orange background against my black fenders would be too much, making them stand out and look like $h!t. Certain colors just go great together but the key for me comes with making them flow right with the whole vehicle. Remember the mid/late 80's to mid/late 90's where the designers went with the color schemes and graphics on Japanese motorcycles? It was enough to get me dizzy and want to puke if I stared at them for more than 5 seconds. I was convinced they were dropping acid at work!! They [designers] are doing the same thing with the graphics packages on snowmobiles now, one thing if your seventeen but c'mon, if your past the pimples phase you look like a complete tool imo! Again I'm a huge proponent of different/unique but it has to be done with class opposed to "LOOK AT ME"

Weaver those look great!

Thanks buddy.

Noticeable difference in your opinion? I'm considering the Afe mainly cause of the fit, true bolt in and its bar and plate.

I did the spearco and cac pipe at the same time. Noticed little more power and a little cooler temps. But when I put the downpipes in a week or two later, I noticed a big difference.



I should have probably said that my ovals are stock ones sanded smooth, painted, and then had the sticker put on.

Cool thanx. Im all set with charge air and down pipe so I should notice a significant difference when I make the swap.
Where is the sticker installed front or back? in other words is the emblem transparent?

No, the only part of the sticker is the tan. It is a vinyl cutout.

I did black vinyl with red HDP, our shop, and it turned out great. we tried to do a ford emblem in red and I couldn't get it to lay right on the curved shape of the oval. we got a vinyl machine. so lemme know if you want any :D

Yes, that's how mine is. Still looks new.

how'd you get the steering wheel one out and painted?

That is vinyl with another vinyl sticker on it. I got lucky with the place I used, they had a color that matched my seat color pretty good.
