Have no recent photos of the car as it is right now but will in the future. Want to get it lowered and on wheels and will post new pictures.

Sometimes I wish I had white.

[Oxford14Stang]

Sometimes I wish I had white.

It was a hard choice for me. Honestly I was stuck between it and the Race red such as your self and grabber blue. Working at a Ford dealership and seeing all the colors on the lot nearly drove me crazy. But what settled it for me was looking at a White BOSS - fell in love with it. Post some pictures of yours?

[Grandpa]

Welcome. :)

Thank you for having me :)

Welcome to the forums and I'll admit I almost got white myself ;)

Thanks for having me, honestly you can't go wrong with any of the colors.

[DirtyD]

Welcome man! Car looks good. OW is a great color. I actually like it a little more over PW. (Sorry David)

I will have to keep an eye out for you when I'm around work and my apt.

BTW, I got your PM, and I will have midnight11 mail the stickers for you.

Welcome to the board.

Oh, and I think you and I should line the cars up sometime and see how they do against each other. Basically the same mods except for the wheels and tires.

Sounds great! Let me know were you'd like to run them, and when :) --- still running 235/55/18s?

[DirtyD]

I have Brembos, so I roll on 19s. Just recently upgraded to 255/40/19 and 275/40/19 Michelin PSS though. Should still be pretty close.

Ah, I'm still up for running them. Let me ask, could you feel a big difference with the 275s? My stock 235s spin threw second And chirp 3rd

[Midnight11]

275s hook for me...

[DirtyD]

I haven't really tried hard to make these PSS spin, but they are pretty stable and sticky turning. I feel much better on them than I do the PZero I had originally.

I did spin them through 2nd the other night after it rained. Haha

[Oxford14Stang]

275s hook for me...

That's good to hear, I was wanting 315s but would settle for 305s. Do you know if they clear or how much work would be needed to get them to fit?. I'm going to be purchasing the ford racing lowering kit that lowers front and rear 1.5

[DirtyD]

305 should fit no problem. Just make sure you have at least a 10" wheel and the correct offset.

[Midnight11]

Depends on the wheel sayle runs 315s on his 20s

[Phuck Phace]

Depends on the wheel sayle runs 315s on his 20s

That's a 20x11.

[46Tbird]

The 305s will fit under the car no problem, even lowered.

But your post is a little ambiguous. You can't fit 305s on a stock wheel. You will need at least a 10" wide wheel to run that width.

Yes, I'm sorry I forgot to mention I would replace the stock wheels of course. Car looks amazing btw

Westway Ford overcharged me by $35 last time I went there for an oil change. Fuck Westway Ford!

Yea I don't like there labor rate. I had to make them lower hourly rate on my customers I couldn't justify telling them the stupid high price

[DirtyD]

Yea I don't believe in there business ethnics I just work there. I had to make them lower hourly rate on my customers I couldn't justify telling them the stupid high price

That is very unnerving to hear about a place like West Way.

[Rebelracer568]

Don't get me wrong they mean well and wanna take care of customers. But there labor rate is really high. To me labor low more business

Westway just like any other dealer has their ups and downs, they all mean well. And let's face it, no one knows your ford better than the techs at the dealership, so your paying for the knowledge. And the techs in the shop who are the backbone to the dealership don't get paid nearly enough for the b.s that we deal with day in and out.

[Dark Pony]

Welcome bud!

From working at a Ford dealership for 5 years I can only partially agree with this. "They all mean well," only if it means money. "No one knows your Ford better than the techs," only if the techs actually do their jobs and train on a regular basis. They have more access to tools to learn from but I know dozens of people who know their vehicles better than a dealer. Now I do completely agree with your last statement, the techs don't get nearly enough credit/pay. The glory seems to go to the crooked ass sales people. Of course all of this depends on management too, I've been through a few GM's and service managers, some were good, some were bad.

I hear you on that. Very valid points.

I asked the shop foreman who has been there 10+ years, the name doesn't ring a bell. Possibly in sales?

Fuck that shit. I took the car there because I needed a simple oil change and I was passing through Irving at the time. When I take it to Grapevine Ford I don't get raped.

I hope they enjoy the $35 because if that's all it cost me to know Westway Ford is run by lowlifes, I got out cheap.

Nah.. but I did however get the vents in the hood and rear wing painted black. And hopefully in the next month I will have it on wheels and lowered, just not sure what lowering kit I want. I like the FRPP 1.5 drop but the eibah sport lines sounding good too

That's be the first I've heard that. That pic that I posted in my intro was when the car was brand new. didn't even have 200 miles on it. My picture that's in my sig now is the most recent with all current mods on it. I'm looking to do wheels/tires/ and aluminum driveshaft next.
