Nice write up. TY!

Yea, that's what it is. Just be glad its not a hatch; like the Focus RS I traded in on the GT. You'd know what "real dirt" looked like then. :crackup:

For my grill I rinse thoroughly first, then wash with microfiber mit and car shampoo to get rid of the easy stuff, then I use an old soft bristle tooth brush and a detailing brush I got from WalMart (soaked in water/shampoo) to clean any remaining bugs/goo out of the nooks and crannies. I...

Guess the rubber phone case I've got on my Samsung/Android is why mine doesn't get charged. Oh well..................that's what my USB cord is for!

OMG! I can actually see, and get to my calipers to clean 'em now! :crackup:

I owned a 1994 Firebird Formula with an LT1 V8 and traded that on a 1998 Z28 with an LS1 V 8. Drove the Firebird through 4 winters, and the Z through 5 on Bridgestone Blizzaks (I'm in Gatiot County). Never had any issues getting around or with rust. I was pretty faithful about thoroughly...

Yes; my dealer offers NHOU undercoating. I gave it a pass though as I intend to pull my own oil and filter changes during warmer weather, and install some Steeda Lo Pro jacking rails. NHOU gets pretty good marks for protection, but like others, I prefer to not roll around under a car that's...

Thanks for posting! :thumbsup:

Like any organization; a Dealership will succeed or fail based on the management and a leadership skills of the top execs (e.g. owner and general manager in this case). Quality of work, customer service, and general professionalism all descend from the top. Do it well and you get repeat...

No emblem removal??!! :thumbsup: Don't get no better than that! Thanks for the tips! :sunglasses: PS: Saved me big bucks at Steeda! I can spend all that black emblem money on that carbon fiber gas filler door overlay I always wanted! :wink::crackup:

I'm sure the non inclusion of undercoating is simply a cost issue. Less for Ford and less for us. I'm only aware of 2 kinds of undercoatings (there may be more). The oil/wax based kind like New Hampshire Oil Undercoating, https://nhoilundercoating.com/ allegedly cheaper than asphalt based...

They both look good! A: What did you do to the grill emblem? Satin silver? It doesn't look black in the photo. B: The 5.0 looks really good! How the heck did you retain the red dot? Or, did you paint it by hand after plastidipping? C: How did you get the emblems off and reapplied? TY...

I bought a very early VIN 2013 Focus ST in late 2012; lasted about 3 months on the OEM Dust Storm pads; before swapping them out for Centric ceramics. Eventually I upgraded to Powerstops (rotors, calipers, and pads [Kevlar/carbon I think]). Traded the ST in on a 2016 Focus RS in March of...

@Skye great write up! +1 @roadpilot ---I was vexed for years with throwing our half cases of beer. Sadly 😢 this compulsive, expensive, and counter productive behavior was the result of conditioning by and role modeling on my Dad; who engaged in it during and after my formative years...

@5.0 435 :crackup: I was gonna steal your Vette, but after seeing your Guard Dog; I think I'll try something easier!

@Zengineer --right there with ya on the "paint it" sentiment! If I could afford them (I can't); CF wheels would be the only exception to that sentiment for me.

I'm also retired and drive about 5500 miles per year. Had my catch can installed in my Focus RS in mid May of 2022. Checked it for the first [confident or stupid? You be the judge! :crackup:] time about a month ago. Shoot! There was maybe a table spoon of oil in it.

Looks nice, but I'm not a fan of aluminum (or any hard conductive material for that matter) for shifter knobs. Cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Hope you get one if you like it!

Sadly; like any "strap on" technological solution to what in reality is a human behavioral issue (e.g. pedestrian general lack of situational awareness---exacerbated by CCPS [chronic cell phone syndrome]); I'm afraid our Mustang's Pedestrian Alert Lights will have little to no positive affect...

Well; if your your forearms are already bruised; can you come over and do my GT? :wink:
