Damn dude, that is a shame!!!!
Sadly, I don't think a little Oxford White touch up is going to fix it. You could bleed paint into those cracks and hope like hell it'll hold up under air pressure but chances are its going to crack.
I know for chips some shops will use a toothpick and drop a...
Anyone else mount their own fender flares on the DH?
How did you do it?
- Above the fender liner?
- Below the fender liner?
- Alternative mounting method? (super glue? better 3M double sided tape?)
I happened to look through my bookmarks and here we are.
There wasn't a major issue with the 20s other than the tire size in the front should have been 275/35R20 instead of 285/35R20 in order to avoid the tire grazing the fender flare pins on the dark horse.
I've since gone done to SVE DHP1...
mine are on the outside of the liner. I’m considering buying another set and having them installed fresh now that the Whipple is installed etc. I just want want this to repeat.
I think the flares stick to the metal and the liner doesn’t overlap except at the mounting points?
I recently learned that the fender flares have an adhesive under them as well as the pins. Seems like once that adhesive goes (whether from using Brake Buster on your wheels or just from water or age I don't know) then the flares don't sit right.
Anyone found a good work around or a better...
After the Whipple install it has been a blast to drive. Gotta let the wallet cool off a bit but I’ve got plans for winter upgrades already lol
Speaking frankly, this car is also better than my S550 which was also supercharged. The manual transmission is a lot of fun and I had forgotten how much...
Keep in mind, this is going to take a WHILE. I wrote them Saturday and was told that they have several THOUSAND to ship still lol. Since I'm #7161 I have a feeling this will arrive just as the car is going away for the winter :)
I've got a Dark Horse Premium (with AE) and don't recall ever hearing exhaust notes through speakers.
I also had a resonator delete with an H piipe so there IS a resonator on a Premium Active Exhaust car.
QUESTION #1 Write FORD PERFORMANCE PARTS website (General Contact)
QUESTION #2 - @roket has one in flight right now so when he gets his maybe he will post some stuff here.
They said my name was on the list to be sent out. There are thousands going out so it may take some time before I get a FEDEX alert :)
@ChitownStang I believe you asked in February if there was an owners kit for the Dark Horse like you got with your M1. The short answer is; yes. It is coming.
Was that you starting your car yesterday afternoon? Pretty sure we heard it fire up here in Ontario.
How do you like the Kooks and Double H combo with the Whipple Stage 2? That thing must sound like a NASCAR on a cold start and at higher RPM?
Believe it or not it doesn't seem much smaller than my 35 sidewall on the 20s however this spec is what the DH HP comes with plus the wheel and tire kit from @Late Model Restoration comes with the 30 sidewall. Complete kit made life a lot easier.
Changed out my wheels from 20" Velgen VF10 down to 19" SVE DHP1
Need to adjust my thinking on the 20s.
Probably move to a 275/30R20 and a 315/30R20 on those but that is for next year. Money doesn't grow on trees and I've spent a ton between the supercharger, the wheels and tires and the...
