I think bronze can be good on rapid red but not race red. It depends on the finish, though. Some bronze wheels are pretty dark and others are almost gold. You have to find the shade of bronze that works best.

I didn't realize black isn't an option. That's surprising. Race red? Agree black looks best on that.

I posted this before but American Racing makes a wheel that's the same style as the performance pack wheels, but it comes in bigger sizes. https://share.google/eIjMYFuvXSopAdoNl

Before the VIN is assigned if your order is unscheduled/clean (most are), it's still a crapshoot as to how long it will take to be scheduled for production.

Very nice! Congrats!

New wheels and tires. 19x10 square with 275/40 Continental ECS 02. The wheels are GTD replicas from Factory Reproductions. I'm going to swap in the OEM center caps from the old wheels.

Fortunately I've never rear ended anyone in nearly 50 years of driving, except for once on a clear patch of ice at very low speed. I understand where it could be helpful these days, though, with so many drivers looking at their phones. My Maverick occasionally gives me collision warnings...

I got them on Amazon.

A couple minor things. First I put a plate from Anchor Room on the plain jane strut tower brace that came on my Performance Pack car. I was surprised Ford eliminated the OEM version. Second, I added seat belt guides to keep the seat belts off our necks. This was a necessity after my wife and...

This must be what happens when Chevrolet (or maybe Prius) owners join the forum.

Makes sense. Thanks!

So it's connected to the cell network? Or through your phone? I haven't seen any notifications of updates but since the car is pretty new it might not have needed any yet.

I bought my '26 in December and I haven't connected it to my home WiFi. I suppose I should, but I feel pretty good without having any updates. :)

Agree with all of this. Ford isn't likely to do a refresh after just 3 years like the S550. I'm beginning to think they won't be doing an S650 refresh at all. They'll simply introduce the next gen around MY30.

It's likely a factor for the guy who painted his, but I don't view him as a poser since he does track his car regularly.

A couple guys who attend our monthly meets have tow hooks, but they do track their cars. One of them had his hook painted the same color as his brake calipers, which looks good, actually. I don't know anyone with a tow hook solely for show, though.

Makes sense. I figured they could face some kind of punishment.

Interesting because I would expect a car tech to be more reasonable than, say, a government employee. They must have an incentive to fail people, either a threat of punishment for "letting something pass" and/or the opportunity to make money to fix the "problem."

Thanks! I googled it after posting that comment. I just need to decide on a time to go. 👍

Apparently so, but I doubt that's what the rules actually say. :) I suppose it's not worth challenging, though.
