Tow hook looks awesome.. what size did you order and how did you mount it? I went to the site but no help there.

I spoke with them thru email… 263611 is the part number. I bought a M20 thread bit and drilled a hole in the crash bar and threaded it. Added a M20 2.5 nut to help with the length. Quality is top notch. Not using it for functionality bc I’m not sure how the crash bar would hold up. Did it mainly for the look.

Shit canned the Thermal R&D exhaust tips and went with something that looks similar to the Borla S Type exhaust but in Carbon Fiber from Hot Rod Scott's in the Toronto Canada area. They had the weld on end so ground a gap on each side so they could be clamped on. (they could custom make what you want) Used a U clamp versus the Borla type single bolt clamp as the Borla type clamp wanted to slide off the tip towards the muffler when attempting to center in bumper exhaust tip hole and tighten the Borla type clamp. U clamp solved that issue. These slide over the exhaust pipe extensions on the outlet of the Thermal mufflers and bottom out in about the right place so they are fully engaged on the muffler stub. These are ten inches long max and are twin 4 inch outlets including the roller carbon fiber covers. The rest of the tips are a flat black. They have none rolled tips also.

How difficult of a job is that? I've seen the you tube video's but from your perspective?

Want to help install one for me?

Are you guys making the exhaust tips even, or leaving them offset like the stock ones are?

 

[F=MA]

Offsets vary by manufacturer. On the Hot Rod Scott's Rolled Carbon Fiber 4 inch Quad Tips the inside pipe sticks out about 5/8" more than the outside pipe. On the Thermal R&D tips the inside pipe stuck out about 1" more than the outside pipe plus the Thermal tips, as a unit, were 11" long versus 10" long so both Thermal R&D tips then stuck out an additional inch versus the Hot Rod Scott's Rolled Carbon Fiber 4 inch Quad Tips.

How difficult was the ethanol sensor install?

How difficult was the ethanol sensor install?

Without the right components? I had to cut off and destroy the first sensor. With the right tools and components? Took 20 minutes. I'd highly suggest you talk to someone who has done it as there are some quirks. I will be putting together a how to thread in the near future just to hopefully save people the time and money I wasted.

Not on my ST but my XLT I added running boards. Looks like it'd work all the same on the ST though, looks factory, fit factory. Easy install and functional.

Carbon inlay. After I smoked a Camaro ss and mustang GT I treated myself to some bling.

Did you have any issues with the smaller part that covers the little storage compartment? Did not stick ok or did you have to add additional tape? I got one of these today but haven't it yet.

Nope all is still sticking fine. I did spray 99% isopropyl alcohol and wipe everything down quite thoroughly. Adhesives love clean, prepared surfaces.

Fixed this dealer installed screw up (Bob Wondries Ford):


Still needs a slight adjustment...

Took it off road a bit, then washed & detailed it.
