Nice work. But I'm wondering why you didn't make this a repair under warranty.

Only because it showed up two weeks after warranty expired. No surprise there.
I got the Ford OEM Stripe Kit CR3Z-6320000-BC for $133 but only needed this one piece. Any one need any part of the passenger side stripes?

I also have the hood stripe for the 2012 Kona Blue CR3Z-6320000-AD but haven't replaced it yet. I damaged it myself and will wait until after I track the car in June before replacing it. That part isn't cheap and will be a lot harder to apply.

Cool. Post pics! And just to clarify, there all 305 Pirelli DH scrubs, on the bottom layer are a 645 and 680, with a 680 on top and a 645 behind the passenger seat.

Only one I could find before seat/harness install,those r the big gt500 20"-19" wheels...ouch!

You should put up the rest of the stripes up on the buy n sell. $133 was a pretty good price from what I've heard.

Those are big AND heavy! Is the 4th tire standing up behind the one on the driver side? Always looking for better ways to skin the cat!

I couldn't find the pic where I put them all across,
fit perfect and used chocks like I said before. This one
I put the 4th in the spare tire spot( I took out the air inflator
kit that came with the car) Got some 18x10 to put back there
for the weekend

Took it to the Body shop to have them look at the hood and windshield.roof. Did you know the stock hood is $1500 bucks, So Geico should replace the TR hood.

I remember looking up the hood and part number and found it for $1,100 IIRC. Good luck with the repair.

Thanks Grant, My body shop looked it up on their computer, that's what they are going to tell the adjuster..they said they should replace it because it cheaper than Ford.. Hoping for the best..

Nope never. I only use fuel stabilizer when I store the car for the winter (Stabil or Amsoil)

Hmmm, how many miles are on those plugs? Here's what mine looked like with almost 20,000 miles on them.

15,000mi probably 4000mi of track duty.

Been tuned by AED for about a year for long tube and off road H. Before was only track key.

Forgot to add. When I'm at the track, I try to run a 50/50 mix of regular gas and whatever the track has for unleaded race gas. So far it's only been Sunoco 104.

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Is the Sunoco 104 an unleaded fuel? Sunoco 260 GTX is the 100 Octane unleaded that I run at track and haven't seen deposits like that. Very sooty looking. You should data log the engine with the new plugs and ask Shaun to take a look, car looks rich or some king of fuel deposits there. There doesn't appear to be any mechanical issue so that's good news.

Yes it is. Sunoco got the 260 GTX Plus which is 104 unleaded.

I will send an email to Shaun and ask him what he think.

Thx

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Well after a track day I swapped out my track wheels and brake pads and put back on the stock wheels and pads. Had to get rid of that front end brake squeak for around town. Now I just gotta get her cleaned up, nothing like splattering a thousand bugs at 100mph to make the front end look like garbage!!

Re: What did you do to your boss today?

Body Shop update. It is all getting covered, Hood, roof, windshield, both front fenders, Side stripes, new hood. 2 tone paint for the hood, new blackout for the roof. because the hood scratched the inside of the fenders, they are going to redo both, since they have to redo both, they are going to pay to replace the side stripes. Who would have thought?
