Your knee wouldn't hit if you weren't five foot sixteen! ;D

I keep my knee as far right as it can go so somehow I miss the key. Plus I'm only five foot fourteen..

I GUESS we'll allow that imposter to occupy your sig for now. It's like Abraham Lincoln Hogg.

Even my wife likes them. Just an FYI there is some concave to them although not as much as the Forgestar F14's.

Thanks for the link Scott. I'll go ahead and order up a couple. I want to get another one with the remote built in as well. This is the correct one right?

Congratulations! Those wheels are definitely on my Xmas list! They look Sharp!

Just got back from another drive in the foothills. IMO the gauges are really lacking. The speedo is hard to read and there is no useful info in the middle of the dash where your eyes first look. I know they are supposed to be retro but come on at least be functional. Ford could learn a thing or two from Porsche on that one. One thing not lacking is power and brakes. ;D I must not be driving it hard enough because I just filled it up and got 12.1 mpg.

Heading to an SCCA Solo2 autox tomorrow morning but just as an observer.

I agree with the speedo being hard to read. Telling 60 from 80 at a glance isn't easy. Seems like a digital speedo in the middle with the analog speedo on the side like Porsche does would have been nice.

 

[BossJockey]

I don't have anything attached to the Boss key and my knee is hitting the key and putting pressure on it.

Slide your seat back more.

Congrats on finally getting your car.

The car looks awesome. I love the kona blue!! Have fun!!

I put my boss302s wheels on mine, which I'm using for track days with the hankook v12 evo tires, I'll post a pic later today.

The tires performed ok on the track but they did seem too be a lot slipperier compared to the stock tires, but they only had about 200 miles on them and it was a different track which had some elevation changes so that could also make it feel different

Overall no real issues though.

Any pics?

Congrats Rick! The waiting is over and the wheels look great! I also agree about the speedo. I have my radar detector escort 9500ix with gps, display the speed much easier to see 95! Doh, how'd I get there so fast! She is a blast to drive and I can't wait to get mine back. Hopefully by Wednesday

Ok the race is on to see who posts photos of a KB Boss with a white rear spoiler. Mine will be Sunday so you should win.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Wheels look great, in for spoiler pictures!

Man that blue looks AWESOME in the sun! Kinda makes me wish I didn't change mine to white! Thanks for the high quality pictures Rick.... I really hope those exact wheels will look that good on mine :-\

I think they will. I like the stock wheels just fine and think they look fantastic on the black stripe cars. Not so much on the white stripe cars.

 

[VoodooBoss]

Have I mentioned I'm really liking the spotter mirrors? If you look really close at the mirror you can see a Roush/Yates spotter with binoculars and headphones on. ;D

WOW Kona Blue is awesome looking with the white, Congrats on finally getting your car. Make sure you gently break in your motor as suggested in the Boss supplemental book.
