So the Expedition got a present yesterday from Craigslist

[ZombieSoldier]

I was perusing the local craigslist, and what did I find? A K&N 77FPIK intake, in the shiny chrome! price...... $100

SCORE

the finish is pretty scratched up, but i may take the intake off today or tomorrow, clean it up real well and powder coat it to match the paint..

 

[GAINMOB]

that is a score

 

[ZombieSoldier]

i couldn't even build one for that price... so should i take it off and color match it?

 

[rburch]

I say go for it!

 

[Canadian Expy]

Nice Score , colour match if thats the look your going for

 

[GAINMOB]

only if you plan to do more...like the cover and whatever else in there

 

[ZombieSoldier]

well I am never done with anything. I am constantly tinkering and pushing the bar up higher. I am getting ready to order the real halos and trying to decide on color matching the backing on the headlights or doing a black color on the backing of the headlights. Especially now since my Intake company now is an authorized dealer for the company i do the Halo work for!! YIPPPPPEEEEE!

[TexasAngel34]

i say go for it... got mine off ebay $35 in blue n chrome to match mine... post pics if u do..

 

[timberwoof]

Very nice find

 

[ZombieSoldier]

so as an update... I ordered all the powder yesterday.. interested in the color decision??

we are starting off with:


Silver Sparkle Explosion

and covering it in Jollipop Red

the color shown for the Jollipop red is actually over the silver sparkle explosion, so it will be VERY VERY close to the factory Redfire Metallic i Have on the expedition! I am so excited, I am dropping it off this weekend, to get done!

Sounds pretty cool cant wait to see the finished product.

 

[ZombieSoldier]

Thank you, I appreciate it

[ZombieSoldier]

Powder is in, just gotta drop it off with the next order of intakes which will be this week

 

[ZombieSoldier]

Just got the intake powdercoated last night... What a beauty!! Opinions?

 

[sgtowing]
