They are usually painted.
Found the packing slip and directions. These are unpainted and they recommend painting these. The color and finish is totally ugly so I do see why. I might just leave them off then. Not sure I want to tackle how to paint these and have them look nice. Not sure on the louver look anyway.

Welp, I'm going to try putting a clutch in my truck in the next couple of weeks. I should say help put it in, as my future nephew offered to do it. Jason knows my history when I tackled the steering column and the anti-theft wires replacing the turn signal switch, didn't work out so well.

Not a fan of the louver look, I like the solid air scoop better.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, you are way to OCD to use those.

If you mount those up, when you wash it, water will get trapped back there, and then continue to run out some (with dust that has accumulated back there.) while you are trying to dry it. I'd say there is a >90% chance you go on a killing spree.

Hey Jason,

Dad has talked to a body shop guy that said he is having trouble getting GM parts. Is there any truth to that or is he being whiny?

I got a 2014 Ford Escape last summer. Overall I really like it - small but comfortable, extremely useful with the hatchback, surprisingly peppy, but the one issue I have with it is that it gets really shitty gas mileage, especially when it's really cold outside. Driving it around town when the temperature is in the teens, like today, it's getting around 15 mpg. Now, I don't exactly drive like an old lady, but I'm not Speed Racer either. Is that normal, or should I bring it in to get checked?

Thanks. I commute to work by train, so I don't drive enough for it to be a really big deal for me. And I really do like everything about it other than that. I just expected a smaller vehicle with a 4-cylinder engine to get better gas mileage than the mid-sized V-6 I traded for it.

Between the mileage and the 12-gallon tank, I'm definitely hitting the gas station a bit more frequently now.

I honestly had never thought of that. But you're exactly right. Thanks!

Looks like these will be going on Craigslist then. I see enough Mustangs around here that I should have no trouble unloading these.

Cars run rich under cold conditions. You could get a block heater installed, plug the car in at night, and the engine will be warm when you start it up. But, honestly, unless you are living in a place like the northern states, Canada, up to Alaska, there's really no reason to have a block heater. Otherwise, jus be prepared for the car to run rich when it's cold.

One thing I have noticed as I've lived up North, is that a small, 4 cylinder engine gets warmer WAY FASTER than a V8 or even a V6. But that just makes sense, smaller engine, quicker to heat up.
