I did a lot of surface cleaning but, I didn't feel I had a need for true paint correction. My Jeep WK on the other hand did need paint correction and I also did that myself and very happy with the results using Chemical guys paint correction stuff.
Did it myself with Carbon Force Ceramic from Chemical Guys - I will admit I was a non-believer in ceramic when it first came out. I'm very happy with it (except for my own mistakes when applying- or I should say wiping dry in a few small spots). I would 100% re-apply and recommend.
After installing my Wolfbox I can absolutely say this is a great OEM feature and glad it's finally available BUT I really do like the added convenience of the integrated dashcam and recording capability of the Wolfbox.
Check with your local autozone, napa or other autoparts store - they generally loan out tools like torque wrenches for little to no cost. That way all you get stuck paying for at the stealership is the calibrations. When I did my Procal tune - I did 3 of the 4 steps myself that would've been...
I removed the straps and got suction cups and nylon acorn nuts to secure the back flap - see my post on this thread:

The biggest difference between the black Ford lugs and McGard is that the McGard are one piece and won't swell over time...I had the Ford ones on my Fusion, and they had to be replaced twice - the first time, I literally had to cut the outer shell off in order to get a lug wrench to work on it...
Yeah...pull the trim panels all the way to the A-pillar unfortunately and then bury all the excess wiring up where the sunglass holder/aux switches sit - in theory. But I'll know more in spring.
I placed mine on the left side - the wires - there's alot of it. When it warms up, I will probably take down the windshield trim and a-pillar trim and hide all the wiring up in the AUX switch panel area - that's the theory anyway.
I have the slide out tailgate as well, so that leaves a nice pocket in between and gives me the ability to "move stuff" without fully unloading and create more venting if needed.
I may not be 100% correct, but I also think that the compressor stays powered up. I run mine with an air storage tank so it tends to drop several psi overnight (ARB hoses - not happy with them) which for me would cause that to run and top off. I purposely powered my ign trigger to the rear...
Laws on this vary by state. North Carolina for example, allows up to 5% of the purchase price damage not needing to be disclosed. It definitely looks like they cheaped out on a transit damage/scratch. I'd probably ask for the photos from prior to see how bad it was, secondly it could affect...
