Man the word TURBO starts to look really weird if you stare at it too long…

Any other fun Everest parts we could use?
Also where did you get them?

I found them on Ebay from a seller shipping out of Thailand called streetautoparts_a. They shipped DHL express and packed everything very well. The catch is that you'll have to pay import duties if shipping to the US, but DHL makes that pretty simple........and it seems the price for the Everest fender vents has gone up slightly (I hear the US dollar de-valued in the last few days). Turns out Ford has a growing manufacturing presence in Thailand. I read that they recently purchased an old assembly plant from Suzuki to expand production of certain models.

don't forget to the also get the 2.3L godzilla door badges made. there is a dude that does the same font and colors as the 7.3L godzilla badges on amazon. he is in thailand too, i think.

LOL. well you can go pay hundred for a set, or do like I said, the letters come right off, you can get the V6 in any color off amazon, sticks right on, less than 20 bucks.

Initially I was going to do something similar, but instead use retro 1980s XLT restoration emblems from Dennis Carpenter. These would drop into the glossy field with near precision: https://www.dennis-carpenter.com/tr...MI6Zm77-OvkgMVP8zCBB03wzcAEAQYBCABEgJbPPD_BwE

........and yes, you can get them in black as well. Actually, this might be a fun rainy day project.

OH, you mean I can peel off the emblem from the OEM vents.

yes, just heat them up with a blow dryer, they pull right off clean, tape and all. The new badges are applied with the same 3M tape, took me less than ten minutes a side.
