I'm 6'2 and I have driven in both styles of seats. I like the Recaro fit but I could never get the rear view mirror positioned correctly with the Recaros adjusted properly. The mirror runs out of travel and hits the overhead console before I can get a good position.
Since my car is a daily...
To be fair, you bought it used. To me that generally implies as-is plus any factory warranty. The person who has a valid complaint is the original owner and it’s with the original selling dealer. That dealer was compensated for the pre-delivery inspection and should have done it.
A descent...
I was browsing the Ford Performance site this morning and the handling pack spoiler with gurney flap is available now with an MSRP of $975.
Looks like it comes in primer and will need painted.

The supplement guide is the little packet your dealer should have given you. You probably already have it.
I don’t know what the eBay sellers are printing, but you can get an “official” copy from Helm. They run ~$60...
If only there was some sort of book that contained this information. Some sort of manual for the owner. Nah, that would be too expensive for a multi-billion dollar company to print. :cwl:
The Ford recommended service interval is 30k miles.
If you stick with the stock tire size of the factory 20s (265/35R20) you don’t really need to change anything as your within the tolerance for same overall tire diameter of ~27in.
Otherwise you need to acquire and learn FORScan.
Does anyone know what the story is with the missing red center caps for the wheels? All the press photos and documents say the anniversary package should have red caps.
In your pic where the connector says OBD-II, the male side of that joint is the factory OBD-2 port and was originally mounted to that silver rectangular bracket. Your dealer used some sort of universal adapter to power your dashcam and did a sloppy job of it.
I found a supplier that will break the 1000 pack but the smallest order is still 50 pieces.
I have no affiliation with this company:

I ordered some recently and could be persuaded to part with a few when they arrive if anyone needs them.
I just finished swapping in the race red belts over the weekend. The job is not too bad.
The hardest part was being 6’2” crawling around in the back seat area. You will remove pretty much every interior trim piece from the door sill back except the part around the quarter windows. I took the...
If you want to leave the battery in the car, you can use the positive terminal on the fuse box and the ground stud on the strut tower behind the fuse box. If you want to use ring terminals for a permanent install, the ground stud unthreads like a bolt.
The reason you want to use those...
All the chassis and suspension parts I swapped have fit. Wheels are the basically same. If you have the upgraded brakes make sure they will clear. Any PP wheel will clear. Most interior accessories are the same. Oddly the clutch and brake pedals in a manual are different.
Do you have the PP torsen diff or the standard limited slip diff?
I’ll be changing mine out soon at 15k as well and I’m curious if there’s a difference in break in wear.
I installed the LMR/SVE jack pads on my car. They are very convenient for lifting a single wheel for cleaning or swapping out tires. They also work great for a 2 post lift.
One downside is they don’t help if you want to put a jack stand at the factory lift points. Your jack will be in the way...
