Simple install with the block off plate and rubber plug for the oem location. I cut the stock plug off and hard wired the resistor then mounted it to the radiator shroud. Cut out and reused the stock connector for the vacuum connection and routed the hose as out of the way as I could. All in all a damn good fit.
Found out the hot side piping won’t work with the AFe intake…that’s going back to Brett and he’s gonna come up with a kit that will work.

i have the exact same kit and the AFE intake, i got mines to fit by slightly clocking the pipe so the BOV would be tilted twards the driver side wheel-well. Its a tight squeeze but it clears, keep us updated on it, if a solution becomes available i might send mines back to Brett... just for added clearance.

That’s the cold side and fits fine. I’m talking about the hot side piping not fitting…see post #881 above.

After about a year of backordered parts the last piece is supposed to ship on 11/4 so I can FINALLY build my Aviator rear console. I’ve been dying to get this done but have been held up by the main compartment that everything builds off of. It’s not cheap…close to $2200 for the 19 individual parts plus clips, screws and bolts but to me it’s well worth it. 7B613DA8-726F-4708-809B-38BB10B14656.jpeg

Apparently they control the sunroof shade in the Aviator. I figure I’ll stick some USB ports or something there instead.

Still waiting on the cup holder trim ring and storage pocket/lid but the Aviator console is otherwise done. The brushed aluminum trim was a different finish than the ST so I wrapped that in matching vinyl.

That looks great! I don’t carry passengers in back often and I need the room for work stuff but if I were still hauling my daughters around I would definitely consider that!

Very nice. Your passengers will love it. (y)
Ironically…I rarely if ever have passengers back there. This was just because I hate the floor tray. lol

Can you give some type instructions or pointers on dropping the headliner? I'm about to do my roof rack delete and can't find much information on removing it

Pull all the A, B, C and D pillar trim, visors, console, etc and pull it down. If you have the sunroof it’s held up by magnets around the hole. That’s about all I remember.

Sometimes new mods present new problems. My Aviator rear console has piano black trim on it but my radio bezel is matte black. So…I ordered the piano black radio bezel to make it match. Problem solved…except I’ve never liked the fake carbon fiber dash trim…so I ordered a full set that’s smooth and a roll of Vvivid piano black vinyl wrap.

Here’s a sneak peek until the bezel shows up Monday and I can finish it.

Do you have the part numbers for the smooth dash parts. I dislike the fake carbon as well.
