These wheels are a forged replica of the R wheels. Same specifications as factory, but not CF. The OEM wheels are like 8k ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Yeah I plan on being there. I have to drop the car off Thursday for the clear bra. Should be ready to go Friday afternoon I hope. Also planning to hit cars/coffee on Sunday. You bringing out something special?
I did see those proposed changes for 2017. It will be cool to have all the coolers standard. I hear ford is producing a setup for the tech pack cars based on the track/350R packages. Crazy that they may be getting rid of comp orange also. That color is going to be rare

Funny. Competition Orange was one of the most common colors on the Boss 302.
I'll just be bringing the STi. I'm heading up to Placerville afterwards to meet a few folks for some fun in the canyons and then lunch.
Looking forward to checking out your GT350.

Damn T, the modding starts already! Nice brother, the stripes really set off the color combination nicely! What are those clutch springs for? Stiffer pedal feel?
I could only dream about owning a car like that...maybe once the kids are out of school I can buy a lightly used one ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

Got all the parts on today. Took about 2 hours total. Pretty easy installs with great benefits. Will share some thoughts on each and pics/vids where i have them
Steeda Clutch Helper Spring: Took about 10 minutes to install total. Would have been faster had i done it before. Real straight forward process, but I think our cars have a second helper spring that the normal S550 cars don't have. I couldn't find a picture of it online, but you will see once you get in there. The results of the upgrade are great. I have much better feel for where the clutch engages, and still have the assist with a light clutch pedal. Also no rattle or play in the pedal. I recommend it, would buy it again, and its $10 well spent.
Redline Hood Struts: This install took about 15 minutes total. The little struts hold the hood well and will raise the hood on their own once you are about half way up. Install is super easy and worth the money. would post a picture, but you have all seen them. I sprung for the upgraded set and would buy again.
  
Diode Dynamics LED Interior Lights: These little puppies changed the lighting of the interior dramatically. Everything is way bright now and the cool white is awesome. I ended up unscrewing and taking off the sun visor mirror to get at the vanity bulbs. You can spend 15 minutes trying to fish out the little vanity bulbs, then another 10 trying to finesse the new ones in. Or spend 5 minutes unscrewing and popping off the mirror plate to make it much easier. Here are some after pics. This is just LED lighting, no camera flash. I would by again.
  
Diode Dynamics Reverse Light: I went for the upgraded model. Install took about 15 minutes. Way easier than the video i saw on CJ Pony Parts as they took too many steps. I just unbolted the 2 13mm screws, removed the 6 or so push pins, and removed the 2 larger push pins. The cover drops down in the rear enough for you to easily change the bulb without removing the front two bolts on the cover, or putting the car up in the air. You may have a little tighter space if you have the diff cooler. I would buy it again for sure. Here is a video of the reverse light and an exhaust clip.

[VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3O9wn5H0FU[/VIDEO]
Diode Dynamics Switchback Turn Signals: These lights were a little expensive but they turned out fantastic. The passenger side was easy enough to change since you can reach down through the opening behind the bumper. Driver side will require removing a few clips on the splash guard and wiggling past one of the coolers. Turn the wheel to the right for more clearance. I opted for amber LED parking lamps from Superbrightleds.com, instead of the cool white Diode offers. You still get the look of a clear housing, but i like having some amber lighting to the front. Here is a video of them operating. I would buy these again as well

Howd you get your license plate so quick? I thought it normally took 3-6 weeks on new cars.

DMV required all new car dealers to start processing their new vehicle report of sales on their own. Either in house, or through a registration service. Cuts down on the time frame buyers have to wait for plates drastically
I had the personalized plates from my 73 Celica I built and sold last year.

Got the car back from Elk Grove Ford. They took care of all the rock chips and the paint booger on the hood no questions asked, or cost to me. Really glad I bought the car there.
Genesis tint in Elk Grove sent me a few pics of the progress for the clear bra install. Can't wait to pick it up in the morning!!
In other news my Fathers Day gift from last year finally arrived. Looking forward to hear helping with he first oil change when I hit 500 miles.
Took this as a little momento the other day. And yes, the gas light comes on at a quarter tank. That gas guzzler tax is there for a reason

Thanks Ian. I am planning to go to the track attack program Ford has for the owners of these vehicles. Once I get that under my belt I will start taking her out to some events
@Sic9250: Thanks for the well wishes man. Hope everything is good with you and yours.
@Built88LX: Appreciate the kind words man!
Got the car back from the clear bra install at Genesis. Came out real seamless. I had them wrap the car from the A-pillar forward, edges of the doors, and a little something extra on the mirrors. Came out to about 1800 total, but now i do not hesitate on driving the car. The clear bra really made the stripes POP!! If you are in the greater sacrament area I would recommend them.
Then I took the car out to Euro Sunday. I had the only one out there and it was a hit. Wish I could have taken the afternoon drive, but had to get back to some family stuff. Had the chance to meet up with one of the guys who organizes the Hooked on Driving events. Looking forward to getting out with that group. Here are few pics from that event.
