Billetworkz and Raceseng make some nice products. https://billetworkz.com/ https://raceseng.com/ If you're unsure of weight, I always point people to their kitchen. Pick up some canned goods of the weight of interest and move them around, to get a feel for things. As a reference, the factory...

I skimmed through the Owner manual just now. See page 177. When in Automatic/Drive mode, "The instrument cluster displays the current position [PRNDM]." When in Manual mode, "The instrument cluster displays the current gear." I agree. It'd be nice to see the gears change and confirm specific...

The heat cycles under hood and the paint on the badge are a concern. The badge reads that it is exterior. You might get some greater feedback from the manufacturer on how well the paint would accept those temps. If you cannot get clarification from the maker and are still interested, buy it...

Being a new mark, new system, I'd pause and tolerate it for now. We can include @Ford Motor Company so they know and advise Engineering internally. Taking it to the dealer now, it's like they'd be t-shooting this brand new thing they have no experience or insight on. I'm not comfortable with...

The following is an article from 2014, referencing their use. Depending on the vehicle and location, these traps are not new technology. https://www.basf.com/us/en/media/news-releases/2014/01/p-13-477.html https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/2017-01-1014/ EPA roadmap...

When the strike first began, the Teamsters advised they would not cross any picket lines. There are currently no lines I'm aware of at either Flat Rock or Dearborn; this gives me promise cars continue to ship. https://www.freep.com/story/money/c...-contract-negotiations-teamsters/70836748007/...

1. Likely a "Detailer" using a spray bottle of "ceramic" coating. Actual price: $8.95. Possible horrible application of ceramic coating by non-pro, with dirty equipment. 2. Yes. Maximum profit. Little to no value. 3. LoJack is proven and established. Cost about the same. If you live in a high...

I cannot see my filter from topside (I tried. LOL). The front splitter lip is 6 " / 15 cm off the ground. But the belly pan flows lower still. Truly underneath the car, there is a 4.5 " / 11.5 cm gap. I bought and have since used Race Ramps; they work great. These have a 7' slope, so I don't...

@Ford Motor Company , some assistance please. Member is having difficulty receiving warranty support for paint issues on a new S650. It's disappointing the dealers acted like that. No excuse. They are Ford franchisees and should fully support a Ford customer and product.

The calipers compliment the car and really set off the body paint. Well done Sir. Well done. :inspect:

I run what's on the placard in the door jam. Some who track under-inflate their tires, allowing them to flex more, potentially grip the surface better. Your tires were overinflated, for shipping from the factory. When these cars leave the factory, the pressures are 40 psi / 2.75 Bar. Dealers...

It's used to acknowledge messages and confirm selections. It's akin to the "Enter" or "Return" key. For example, if getting in the car and going to Accessory Mode, the car lists a message advising you of such, to which you select, "OK". The button can also be used to select "X" features, tick...

The differences between two, four and six-year applications will be down to how much they apply, versus the actual product itself. Four years of protection is about what the average package is. Two years doesn't seem worthwhile. Expect the coating to gradually degrade over time. There are...

If there is not a picket line, they could still be shipping. Teamsters have said they will not cross lines. At the moment, there are no strike activities at Flat Rock. I'm aware of a body assembly, body prep location that's been effectively shutdown. And the latest news that V-8 production and...

Every buyer is encouraged to fully inspect their cars upon arrival. Ford will warranty any and repair paint defects created from the factory or damage caused while in transit. For the customer in the video, if they have concerns about what was discovered, they should return the car to the...

I don't track the F150 line, but I can think of a few points. - Ford has been losing money on EVs, had difficulty lately selling EVs (due to material price increases). They've made it no secret they intend to increase production of the F150 to compensate for $ losses as well as give the...

Sorry to read what happened. There are some good dealers out there. Unfortunately, they are overshadowed by the others doing to you what you've been explaining to us. Walk away and don't look back. Please post the name and location of the dealer here. Consider reaching out to the BBB for a...

Doing a random Googling, several companies produce "new car" scented products. I have Recaros and appreciate the natural smell of leather they provide. I might detect very light scents of Wolfgang leather conditioner. Gyeon Interior Detailer and glass cleaner put off a nice smell, but the...
