motorjock205 Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I was having trouble keeping the thin rubber strip attached to my FRPP intake and it was in turn rubbing on my shock tower and removing the paint. I contacted Steeda and they have the larger rubber trim that may even help to seal the area a little better...the part number is 626-10100 and it takes about 4 feet of it to go around the FRPP metal intake. Total cost for me including shipping was $23.52. It required removing the intake from the car to facilitate replacing the rubber, but was fairly easy to do...just be careful to not loose the two rubber pieces that the intake goes into on the bottom...the grommets just kind of sit in their holes in the inner fender well and the intake sits down into them... Sorry, didn't take any pics of the procedure, but it is relatively simple to do...and hopefully worth the money in the long run...Just thought I'd give the part number in case anyone else wants to call Steeda and get it...

kahmann Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Very cool, thanks for the info. Mine is doing the exact same thing to my driver's side shock tower. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HORSBYT Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I fixed my rubbed off paint there with a nice "Ford Motorsports SVO" sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I fixed my rubbed off paint there with a nice "Ford Motorsports SVO" sticker. Good idea! That touch up crap never works as well as I want it to. I've got tons of stickers in my tool chest. I'll have to see if I can find one that looks good under there.

motorjock205 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I fixed mine with a blower lol I would LOVE to fix mine by adding a blower, but when you're out of a job right now, it's kinda out of the question...hopefully some day, but just not right now...

JeffIsHereToo Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Any chance you can post a pic of the completed article? I'm wondering if it looks like the pics of the CAI on the prototype. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CAI rubber trim was missing on my SGT when I took delivery. My friends at Steeda hooked me up with a replacement piece, pictured below. I managed to install it without removing the CAI. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that I beat you posting some photos. I'd still like to see your install. I agree taking the shield off would be better, to ensure the trim gets pushed on completely. When I installed mine, I had just picked it up from Steeda on the way to a car show and had no tools. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've gotta come out to the Homestead track and run your car.... Went last week, did ok, not bad for a first timer, need gears and better tires.

Hey Chris, Looks clean now, but you should've seen how dirty it was when I took delivery. The whole engine compartment was covered with desert dust and dirt. Some Simple Green worked wonders. I'll have to try Homestead one Friday evening, looks like fun. It's just a bit of a long drive from where I live. Also, my car needs some mods to make it launch well, starting with LCAs. I got a new Pro 5.0 shifter for Father's Day, so at least I won't be missing third gear. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I had the same problem plus I wanted to get a good seal from the engine compartment to keep the heat out. I went to an auto parts store and looked up weather stripping for one that would slide down on the sheet metal and stand straight up. It was fairly cheap and didn't have to pay for shipping.

Good idea. Autozone has a 30% off sale today. I'll have to check it out before calling Steeda... Thanks Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
