I refinished my billet grille and outer shell. Used a heavier duty black, dupi-color oxford white, and several coats of non yellowing, uv resistant clearcoat. Then a good wet sand and buff. Hard to tell how much better it is in the pics, but here it is.
After dealing with battery issues for the past couple weeks, I finally made the trip to Costco to replace the battery. Turns out it was still under warranty and was a free replacement!
Aside from that, I picked up some new windshield wipers ($8.99/each on sale) since the monsoon weather is starting to roll in to the Phoenix area, finally took some photos of the finished build from my XLT -> Lariat conversion, and replaced the stock air intake with the Gotts "EZ" mod (3" Spectre air duct). It actually opened up a lot of space over there, so I'm thinking about trying to fit a second battery in that space.

What is the purpose of the ribbed portion of the air duct Can the whole unit be replaced without going to a cold air setup?

You mean the spectre duct that is colored in red? That is a GOTTS mod. It bypasses the 3" to 2" reduction coupler that exists there already, making it a direct 3" duct all the way to the intake muffler (the big part with the baffles). Since our trucks basically already have a cold air intake (our intake is in our fender), this just opens it up to help reduce air turbulence.
