Its just DEI gold reflective tape on the cold air intake. I don't like the way it looks but it keeps intake air temps down

Hey, I tried that trick with 3M reflective tape and it seemed to help! I was watching the intake temps on my Roush CAI go up like crazy while idling as reported my my OBDLink, and this definitely slowed it down. Not attractive but functional and cheap. Thanks for sharing!

That looks weird, but since it lowers the intake temperature, I might be tempted to ceramic coat, my intake tube of the AFE Stage2 system I got

41,450 miles; oil change tire rotation an alignment. The dealers rack was not big enough for the Raptor (width) so did oil change only. Took front skid plate all the way off so it wasn't messy. Decided since I was under there to check the front diff fluid level/condition. Fluid was overfill, (oozing out of the fill hole) and was very milky. Changed the fluid and checked the rear diff. Rear was clean. Other owners might want to check theirs.

There's gotta be some additive or odd kind of lube Ford used for initial fill of the front diff. Every single person including myself that's changed the fluid early has found grey and/or milky lube in the front diff. I swapped both front and rear diff fluids for Amsoil Severe Gear synthetic at 30,000 miles. Still contemplating doing a transmission flush early as well.

Put the leftover insulation to good use. My front bumper is all scratched up from having to hit my garage wall in order to fit my Raptor. I put cardboard on the wall but it didn't help. I can't put anything too thick or otherwise my truck won't fit.

Glue the insolation strips to the wall, not to ugly up the truck, also the bumper pads LEFT AND RIGHT of your light bar stick out further than your location of the insolation, Just my 2-cents.
