Am I the only one that hates the name "EcoBoost"?   I mean other high performance car engines have mean or tough names, Boss 429/302, Coyote, Voodoo, Hemi, LS9,Tri-Power, ZL1..etc...and we have this:

 
2010 SHO 20" Wheels, LMS 4X tune, AirRaid CAI, 3-Bar MAP, 160 Thermostat.  TSB's and Failures TSB-11-12-10 - 6F50/6F55 TRANSMISSION. TSB 11-11-09 - INTERMITTENT STEERING DRIFT/PULL. All four wheel bearings replaced winter 2014-2015 (all failed at different times and within four weeks of each other, PTU Failure at 54,000 miles. Climate heat issue fixed, halfshaft issue. Right front strut bearing plate failure at 79,000. TSB installed the thrust washer over the halfshaft.

Well, I have had it and now there is no mention of EcoBoost on my SHO.

Nice job. Mine looks a lot like yours. I used the same badge too!

grassroots movement ... catching fire!!!
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Whoever added my little pony to our beloved Ecoboost nameplate should be waterboarded.

I got mine on Amazon. Tons of them on there....cheap. Downside is they start to blemish after a while. Not the best quality. I'd gladly pay more for better quality.

So they're just like the OEM badges then....

Mine is almost identical to Larry. I spaced out the sho like he did. But, I put sho about 1/4 inch above the line, and 3.5 twin turbo about 1/4 below the line.

I wonder if you could fix that by clear coating them?

I also wonder if we could get the vendor to make one that says 3.5 Twin Force AKA the original name.
