The certificate not only notes the serial number of my Boss, which I already knew, but also the number in its particular color. For me, this is particularly interesting. I struggled to secure a Kona Blue Boss, before that color was discontinued. It will be interesting to me to find out how close my car is to the end of the run in that color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"770\" data-attachment-id=\"3249\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/2011\/12\/ch-8-boss-owners-kit\/kit_4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,797\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON D90&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1324660101&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.002&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Boss Owner&#8217;s Kit\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-800x531.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-1160x770.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-1160x770.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3249\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-1160x770.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-800x531.jpg 800w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4-560x372.jpg 560w, https:\/\/jimmypribble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/kit_4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As silly as this might be, my favorite part of the kit might be the key fob. I don&#8217;t even like key fobs! But this one is very cool. The one side looks like the unique Boss intake manifold and the other side is engraved with the serial number of my car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you and Merry Christmas Ford Racing!
