Was also cross-shopping a CPO RR Sport, GC SRT, and a CPO Cayenne GTS. COVID happened, and my Ford salesman called me and practically begged me to come take the ST. Thanks to a little help from ZFG, I'm VERY happy with the decision so far. 500hp sleeper SUVs are just sick in so many ways. I knew...
I love this so much. I see a white SS near me that has been completely rebadged as a Holden (steering wheel and everything) and it just makes me giggle and smile inside.
considered it, then gave up. by the time i priced out the valves, custom mandrel bent tubing, solenoids, wiring, etc. i was well over $1000.
That being said, a setup like this would be AMAZING and I hope someone does it.
Cool! I will do the same. I've turned auto-sensing back on, no rain in the forecast but will post up if it decides to do so. My coating is about 6 months old at this point.
so now the question is did you pay stateside prices or have a Canadian collegue smuggle them in for ya? Those look soooooo good. I just cant bring myself to pay the asinine prices they are asking for a steel wheel.
I actually don't know 100%. I have auto-sensing wipers turned off on this vehicle. I guess I could turn it on and see.... It's never been an issue before for me or an issue I've heard of.
Are these winter wheels or just new wheels? Curious why you went down a size in diameter (if new wheels) but yet went with a wider tire (If winter wheels)... I thought the prevailing wisdom was narrower tires are better in snow/ice...
Bosch Icon plus any ceramic windshield coating. i really really like this stuff. I don't even need to use my wipers unless its REALLY coming down

I'm still in shock at the 93 tune... over 100hp... a 25% gain in power over stock with simply a tune.... Ford must have left ALOT on the table with these motors. reminds me of 12V cummins. those things were soooo restricted before they were plopped into a ram. swap out a fuel plate, and BAM...
its also just sometimes people's hands (different sweat composition and stuff). in a past career i worked on car interior switchgear and there have been lots of studies done (and manufacturers spend alot of time and $$$ working around the problem) about the corrosivity of people's skin. women...
assuming lots of things, including dyno accuracy, 17% drivetrain loss is impressive. well done Ford. also assuming that percentage holds, pushing over 580hp at the crank? thats insane.
and that torque curve... :whistle: well done ZFG.
Welcome!!!
Yes! It was amazing! Check out this thread for some more details:

Depends on a bunch of stuff. Anywhere from 2-5 years. I have had full color-change wraps that lasted forever and then a simple roof wrap that barely lasted two years. It depends a bunch on both the installer as well as the wrap, not to mention climate, how much the vehicle is stored outdoors...
