I'm using XPEL. The installer is a franchisee, with access to the company database and templates. PPF is cut on a plotter and later installed in a clean area.
You have a few options:
1. Do nothing. Leave the vinyl decal as-is. The PPF will cover everything except the decal.
2. Item #1 above...

I'm using these. The Ford Supplement for the M1 w/HP mentions staying away from grades with an initial entry of 7%. The ones above are just below that. They work well. They do not shift when going up and down and the materials are very robust. An...

Using the tool above, the front tire will be -.8" / 20mm (-3%) less in diameter (255/40-to-305/30).
The rear, - 1.3" / 33 mm (-4.7%) less in diameter (275/40-to-315/30).
A general rule of thumb is to stick within +/- 3% in circumference/diameter of the...

Something of a proxy of what could be done to a S650. Even the basic packages are not cheap.
SuperSnake builds are currently available for GT500-like cars. A 6G Member recently turned his GT500 in for a build; he'd waited close to two years.

I don't have a preference on jack stands. Those that do can comment on why they prefer one brand over another. They're simple devices. Find some with good reviews that are not so small you wonder if they'll hold, but not so sturdy and cumbersome they're a pain to get into place. Each corner of...
As you've confirmed, TC is unavailable in Track Mode. The next closest mode with TC would be Sport+.
I did some Googling to see if TC could be enabled in Track Mode via a tuning device, but could find no reference.
To go one step further, while in Track Mode, AdvanceTrack and/or stability...

Ya, I don't expect paint prices to subside any time soon. It's been something of a rolling series of issues. Pandemic and global production halts, petrochemical shortages during the Winter in Texas that reduced refinery output at the time, the war in EUR (material shortages...
If you're not familiar with the topic, discuss Price Protection with the dealer.
If an $$$ increase does occur after an order is placed, Ford covers the difference. The only qualification is the person who buys the car is the same one who ordered it.
After the price change, all future...
I can't speak to your setup, but I can of Mach owners with HPs (305/30, 315/30 w/Michelin Cup2s).
Yes, you will benefit with different tires.
Trofeos and Cup2s are great tires, for the track or spirited driving. They're wide and tacky. It's what they're made for and your existing setup is...
It would seem neither.
The hook is often in the trunk, under the cover for the tire pump.
As to the receiver, a picture of what the bumper should look like.

This is a link to the Ford web site. While not cheap, it is a source to the actual repair procedures, diagrams and references used by dealers and technicians. Many select 72-hour access, then download (print to file) the diagrams or repair action needed...
The Order Guide (Aug '23) is not much help in clarifying.
Under Standard Equipment for the Dark Horse, tow hooks are referenced.
But they are referenced yet again under the Handling Package option.
For other trims, Tow Hooks are referenced as part of a Performance Package.
At the Ford web...
At the time of shooting, the car appeared to be in Virginia. If you stop the video at just the right moment, you can read the highway sign: Richmond.
It's not a factory color. The car has been wrapped. The closest Ford hue I can think of is Grabber Green, used on the 1970 Boss 429...
"Note: The oil consumption of new engines reaches its normal level after approximately 3,000 mi (5,000 km)."

I'd monitor the engine oil and all fluids closely early on.
The first few weeks of ownership, after each drive, I checked fluids, under the hood, under the car. I was looking for...
I check mine once a quarter, to see what the fluid looks like more than anything else. The can is something of a window into what is going on inside the engine. I empty it once a year, at the oil change.
We all drive different and have different mileage. For 5,000 miles, 8,000 kilometers, I'd...
Yes, they will ship almost empty. There will be enough for transfers at the different waypoints, ultimately the dealer and a close-by pump, but not much else.
The cars shipping by rail or truck in the US probably don't have much more in them.

Regardless how you break-in your car, oil analysis will quantify how well things are going.
