Arrow new guy from Miami

Hey guys, we recently bought a 2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty. Looking for any good shops here in the Miami area where I can do some stuff to the car. Looking for quality and good price. I've been doing my wheels at Wheels Boutique, so I will probably go there for that.

My dad is recently looking for the foot steps on the side, and a front grille.

Please vendors feel free to pitch in, and members as well. Need help, dont know a lot about this car :/

Oh and forgot to mention, I'm looking for a good HID kit as well, 6K is ideal, but idk what you guys think. And for fogs as well, I think I will need the ballast for both, since the headlights are not bi-xenon.

Already did, and what can I do about air intake. Was thinking of getting a K&N.

I would do a search for cold air intake and I'm sure you will find a ton of info. To be honest with you these trucks actually come with a cold air intake, and the aftermarket kits that just have a tube with a filter in the engine compartment are not cold air intakes (eng. comp. heat!) I believe one of the most popular systems is the Volant, but I would not expect any big gains. My self all I do is upgrade my filter and K&N makes a good filter replacement. Have fun and post some pics!

Like Jimmy said these trucks come with a good cold air intake. You can do a search and you will see almost everybody will agree that there is no need to change the air intake on these trucks as they are allready a good filtration system for anything up to 500 HP. IMO these companys that claim just adding there air filters provide a gain in Horsepower and MPG is full of crap, and just a sales pitch.

So is the same deal as in my car then. Good. I thought these trucks would be different.

So the drop in filter is the best choice.

That CAI would only work at start up, after the engine heats up specially in this Miami weather, the CAI would only result as loss in HP due to the suction of hot air.

Thanks for clearing this up guys.
