Had same question about how its held in place. Love the clean install and utilizing a spot that isn't good for much else. Hopefully that cable end holds up.

Glad you were able to get two off. Used to tell people all the time when I worked in the shop, you live in the midwest...anything metal will corrode at some point. The look isn't worth it.

I always thread mine off and empty it once a month. Not very much in there usually. Didn't like how full it got when I went to each oil change so just when I remember each month.

Best...color...welcome!. Glad you got a thread started, was going to say you should post a pic in your other thread.

Congrats on the pickup and welcome to the forum. Where in IL are you? Don't see too many red ones around. Maybe two since i've moved back into town.

Unfortunately the people selling the services or writing you up are not always well versed on what they're offering. You asking for something beyond what the book is telling them throws them off. The idea of preventative maintenance seems to be something foreign to the dealerships cause the book...

I can relate. I swear I tore my rotater cuff the firs time I did it. Shoulder hurt for weeks lol. Just like with anything thats applied or coated its all in the prep. Do yourself a favor if you decide to try again and get a wheel brush for your drill. Got a nice nylon bristle brush that attaches...

You can save yourself a ton of work and take @Cruising68 up on that offer. That would be a couple more steps work than from chasing pads and rotors but you're taking them off anyways. Might as well get some calipers already painted and a slight upgrade.

Doing your own brakes is a great entry to doing your own service. Requires minimum tools, tons of videos and help online (youtube & here). Unbroken mentioned the service mode...beyond that just pay attention to your lift points and enjoy the money savings with a job done yourself! Even being...

I'm surprised since I couldn't wait to do these new tires. Had such good results with my fusion. I agree on the shine level. I did two coats on last tires and had perfect matte finish. Little shinier than I would have liked, tires just took less to dress this time around. When it fades a bit I...

Yeah thats the idea. Once applied you can lit wash off any dirt that gets on it. I did this on my fusion prior and had great results. Don't have to touch the tires for months.

Congrats, hopefully the other 5% is just being super sensitive to vehicle driving since they're working on it and you don't even notice!

I'm pretty sure thats how they've all looked? Unless i'm seeing something different...the picture has been the same on the others. Thought until you mentioned it, the fit/aspect does seem to be off. They all look like yours but it's deff different than the aviator factory. Maybe an adjustment...

They've all said it. I had this problem with my Fusion Sport. Did a quick test drive after installing FMIC before putting the bumper back on. Make sure boost didn't pop a pipe off. Put it all back together and everything turned off right away except one. I forgot a temp sensor that made the...

Finally got around to duradressing the new aforementioned tires. The only way to go if you like keeping the car clean. One day of some elbow grease and enjoy shiny tires forever!

What do you think of them? I got them a couple months ago and couldn’t believe how loud they were. Had to swap them out for Michelins. Wanted to keep the Alenza’s…they ride so damn nice. Just couldn’t deal with that noise for the life of the vehicle.

There you go, price seems pretty even across the couple places I called before having it done.

There you go. I could only find a video on the F150 and thought it had to be similar. Glad you figured it out. Surprised you didn't document it all.

Welcome! Let’s see the project. Everyone likes a build thread! Intercooler is a no brainer. Great drivability and leaves you open for upgrades down the road. Plenty of options through Mishimoto, whipple, etc. Unless you’re going big power with bigger turbos, intake and/or piping is just for...

Hey, Grabber...you're right up the street from me! What color is your ST? I only see a few rolling through including the other one in my neighberhood.
