Finally upgraded to a square setup from the 20" staggered SVEs.
Didn't wash it because it's supposed to rain soon but snapped some cell phone driveway shots.
I need to take some nicer photos to really do these wheels justice. Really happy with how it turned out.

Drove it. Went out for my birthday cruise. It was a few days late due to rain, I don't drive it swiftly in the wet. I don't pretend to be that good. I got lost then I got found by the help of the computer in my pocket. Drove some roads I have never been on and some I haven't been on in 50 years. I love getting lost in this car. Lots of smiles over the 100 miles.

Chatted with Jason McDaniel at Vorshlag and am getting the 7 year old parts on the Boss S updated. Wanted the Vorshlag Camber Plates having seen the absolutely unreal adjustment my son has been able to get on his EVO 9 - is super high quality piece!! Vorshlag sells all kinds of cool stuff, so my purchases will likely not stop there, but the biggest plus was talking to Jason. Never pushed me to buy anything, he just offered me tons of advice and help after I told him what I was looking to accomplish. I can see why VoodooBoss selected Vorshlag to be one of the site Sponsors and looks like Vorshlag decals will be peppering the Boss in the near future. This ain't no lead tobaggen, this mutha has been Vorshlagen ! Vell, vatt du yu eggspect , zince der bin man-ee timezz I sprechen zie Deutsch !

Bill, where are your brake ducts (fog light panels or lower grill)?

If in the fog light panels, Vorshlag has a slick inlet duct for the lower grill that takes advantage of the higher pressure area there. It's only a 3" inlet duct but the higher pressure may be equivalent to a 4" duct elsewhere.

If you're still running the Boss 302 grill, order a GT lower grill and modify it instead of modifying the more expensive Boss version.
 
Dropped the Boss off at Revolution Automotive in Maryland for some more horses! Can't wait for the results. CJ intake, TB and CAI, L&M cams, OPG, GT500 fan, Meziere electric water pump and a 100 octane tune. Stuart was nice enough to open on a Sunday so I could drop the car off. Took a tour of the shop and checked out all the projects. These guys know their Coyotes! I'll post the dyno results when I get her back.

Can't wait to read up on your changes and see how she performs on the dyno.

Going to the DIY shop to get the car up in the air this Saturday to finally put on the one-piece DSS CF driveshaft and put on my BMR adjustable sway bar end links. While I'm under there, plan on lubing her up and performing fastener maintenance. Maybe try and rid her of some of that alfalfa she picked up at Hastings.

Installed new Signature Wheels the other day. 20x10.5 at all 4 corners (but with different custom offsets that I came up with after measuring all sorts of things), 285/35/20 front, 295/35/20 rear PS4S tires. Both front and rear wheels weigh less than 24lbs on my scale. Absolutely love the way they look and these wheels knocked about 5lbs off each of my old HRE FF01s in the same size up front. Thank you, Terrance!
