Did anyone get the box and keep their instructions for mounting the fender flares/wheel lips? As some of you guys know; after the whipple install whatever double sided tape was basically wrecked when the front bumper came off and went back on. I went and bought replacement stuff. 3M Tape -...

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...

What is your go-to all purpose cleaner? I was using DDE on my S550 GT Premium however that is more of a "touchless" product and seemed to dry out the plastic/rubber parts. Now that I have the Whipple, with that giant intake tube, want to keep it, and the rest of the bay clean.

I got into a discussion on the "What did you do to your S650 today?" thread however felt it better over here. I have a whipple stage 1 being installed in about 3 weeks. I'm currently lowered on Steeda Sport Progressives and have 20" Velgen VF10 wheels with Nitto tires. Wondering if this...

Hey All, With my upcoming road trip been debating on swapping out my 20" VF5 (20x10 and 20x11) for the Dark Horse Handling Pack wheels (19x10.5 and 19x11) Since my stock Trofeo will never make it there and back been wondering about the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires; specifically concerned...

Hey All, Looking to get an idea on what my DH w/hp and a 6 speed is going to do on the highways in the good old US of A. Driving at the speed limit of course. CONTEXT: - Whipple Stage 1 gets installed in April - Road trip coming up in July. 1000km(ish) / 620(ish) miles) on day 1 - Going with...

Up here north of the wall it's a challenge, not to mention expensive, to get stuff sent up from them there United States of 'Murica. Also, Ford tends to want to install the Ford Performance Whipple kits and FP doesn't have the option of getting their SCs "painted" from Whipple. So.... My Ford...

Hey Guys, Was detailing the car yesterday, for date night last night, and noticed that I'm missing two front clips, or push pins, (1 on each side) that hold the WHEEL LIP MOLDING in place. It's still in place fine but itsn't as snug as it could be right near that panel join area. Wondering if...

So the lady and I were driving back from dinner Saturday night and we hit some of Canada's FINEST road repair work. Seems like someone partially filled in a hole they dug for water main work; the asphalt that was used also seems to have sunk (probably a temp job due to winter coming) so hole...

What are you guys putting in your Dark Horse? I've looked at the recommended FULL SYNTHETIC from Motorcraft. 2 quarters is like $19.00 but then the shipping is like $30.00 LOL Not gonna pay more for shipping than for the product itself. Anyone using a decent oil that is commonly availble here...

Slight, intermittent, synchro grind shifting from 2nd to 3rd; at city speeds. Anyone else have this? It only does it sometimes and I can't really find a correlation on the cause? This is all done at city driving and not banging gears at warp speed on a race track somewhere. Sometimes it does...

Ok, so reaching out to my M7G folks to make sure I am not going crazy (and also provide info for others who I know are looking at the same questions/options as I am). OBJECTIVE/CONTEXT My new ride is Dark Horse (with HP) Shopping between Steeda Sport Progressives (0.8125" all corners) and...

So bought the RTR Hood Vent kit from CJ Pony Parts. Arrived fast, quality is good etc. etc. After some initial issues getting it installed (due to parts, not quality) here are the results. The RTR video says you need the following.... 9mm socket required T20 torx socket required <----...

So I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of 20" wheels but am drawing a blank on finish; not finding Google to be too helpful. My previous S550 was carbonized grey which was easy to pick for. Satin Black Steeda Trident's (19x10 and 19x11). No problem. The Dark Horse is Oxford White and for...

About to pull the trigger on either a set of Velgen VF5 or VF10 (first world problems, I know). Their website has photos but they are all non HP DH :( Debating between 19s and 20s; objective is not to have to add lowering springs but also not to get too big where I rub. Anyone have pics of...

Hi All, I've seen threads around here about "missing this" or "that wasn't installed" so thought to myself "What should the dealership be installing for me so I don't have to do it?!" That the very least what should I make sure is with the car itself? - Strakes - Tow Hook License Plate...

So for the last 2 weeks I've been seeing this.... Then today I log in to do my daily "Will they, Won't They" and I see this! It's like someone was sitting there within the last 24 hours saying "Hey, let's keep it interesting and change some of the script to present things in a different...

One of the things I LOVE about my S550 are the racing stripes; an homage to days gone by (see below) Has anyone taken the Dark Horse vinyl off and put something else there? If so, how? What didyou do to remove them? What did you put in it's place?
