2022 Ford Maverick XL EcoBoost AWD Shadow Black Build

Somehow I never saw this post. Looks great man! How do you like the exhaust? I want more sound but hate drone in the cabin when at cruising speeds. Also I Plasti dipped my ford emblems, may redo it so the “ford” and chrome ring are gloss black. How are you doing yours?

Dose the air intake void factory warranty?

Easy enough to take off if you ever have to go to the dealer

Thanks! I wasn't sure what to expect from the exhaust...frankly, I really like it. It has a rumble that I did not expect out of the 2.0L turbo, almost similar to my WRX but not as deep. There is *some* drone in the cabin but honestly it's not bad at all. I would highly recommend. It's much cleaner underneath the car as well.

Those emblems look great. I ended up having the rear professionally painted but will be Plastidipping the front one when the weather warms.

For those interested, the OEM steelies have been powder-coated satin black and the chrome Crown Victoria center caps have been installed! Thoughts? Feedback on this look versus lowered on stock steelies?

Like it! Beefier tires look good too. I’ll probably do that when the stockers wear out. Honestly I thought the silver steelies looked good on your truck. I hated them on mine but it looks better on a black truck.

Right? I go back-and-forth on which one I prefer!

Easy solution, silver on driver side, black on passenger side. I ran my 67 bug like that for a while until I figured out how I liked my wheels haha.

Received and installed painted rear Ford emblem yesterday on the tailgate, pictures below.

I got this from Emblem City (https://emblem-city.com/). Yes, I know it is very pricey - I do not need that reminder or feedback . However, I am providing this post as a resource for others who may want to go that route and not paint them on their own. Emblem City was very responsive - I recommend emailing them specifically on what you are looking for. They paint a new Ford emblem which includes the rear camera with receiving pin. They ask you for your color choices for 5 distinct areas of the emblem. After a couple of days to paint, shipping was quick and easy.

Yesterday I installed the Agri Lomax Hard Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover in Matte Black that I purchased via Alex from RealTruck here on this Forum. As others have mentioned, Alex was able to offer a very competitive price on the cover and shipping was extremely quick.

The installation was straight-forward and simple. I am very happy with the low-profile nature of the cover as well as the matte black texture, which is exactly what I was looking for in a tonneau cover.

Would like to see pictures of the steering wheel.
Nice work so far, truck looks great.

The steering wheel upgrade is probably the favorite of my modifications so far - completely changes the driving experience, in my opinion. There are many threads on the 'how-to' on this Forum with several useful video links.

Great work on the truck, looks like Loudoun area....Who did you use to do your window tint and $$$ if you dont mind

Good tip on the RX7 lip...and thanks for the comments!

@Pucman1 I would suggest reaching out to National Window Tint or American Shine Detailing. To (quality) tint only the front two windows should run you anywhere between $125-$150.
