Here is the motor before.





Here are pictures after. I added a MTI Lid and I hid the wires on the passenger side fender.






Also got the Collectors Edition WS6 badge on.

Did you do any pressure washing? I need to do mine but, I'm a little nervous about blasting under the hood with all the electronics.

I've got the collector's edition emblem as well, just needed to take the time to pull the original off and put the one on. Can you give me the walk through that you did to replace it... looks like it came from the factory. Very clean.

I still have the old one.

I put painters tape along the edges of my stock badge, then pulled it off with a heat gun and some fishing line, cleaned up the adhesive then applied mine with 3M double sided tape.
