It's very nice, I'm not big on advertising for the makers of the product. Though it defeats the purpose of an easy look-see, I'd like an all-black lid. No doubt there are some that would like a color that matches a theme they may have already started too.

Fixed the tea kettle whistle wind noise in my new 2023 ST. Didn't even get to try taping up various window edges because I came across a post about a similar issue in another Facebook Forum. See technical service bulletin # 22-2021. Instead of the recommended fix of removing the pillar trim and add flock tape beneath the pillar trim (about as smart as the hose clamps on the flex pipes) I purchase JB Weld Black Silicone in a tube and injected the entire length of the joint between the pillar trim piece and the other inner trim piece. There were gaps between the two trims up to 1/16 inch. I wiped any excess silicone off with GM Fabric Cleaner (doesn't hurt painted surfaces). The result was a full length seal job the length of the front windshield pillar. I left it overnight to set up and took it out today and there was zero wind noise related to the wind whistle I had experienced before. May have to recheck if the weather turns excessively cold in case the silicone develops any cracks from contraction. Oops looks like one developed in the photo. Each time you wipe it down to clean the silicone off the surfaces press lightly because just wiping the silicone can flex the opening area between the two trims and cause a crack to form in the wet silicone.
Thanks, I have the same problem, gonna give it a try......

Picked the ST up from Lindsay Ford after they confirmed a leaky cat. They'll call when the ordered part comes in which will be covered under warranty.
They supplied shuttle service to and from my house as they kept it overnight. I did notice that the power was down. (if you know what I mean)

You have a picture of the fitment? I got the 3D Spider folding cargo mat for the rear and love it. I want to replace my trash Weathertechs.

Picked up an intake on FB Marketplace $200, just ordered the sensor I needed off eBay for $24 shipped. I wanted the S&B, but at this price couldn’t resist.

I have the 3D Spiders as well and love them! Will never buy Weathertech again… perfect fit, they don’t fold over as they age, and look great.

Yes, just want to give it until spring to make sure everything is in order.

I met a guy in my area with a '22 that said he's running E85 with just injectors, no HPFP. Is that possible?

Yes but my understanding is that the factory pump can’t adequately feed the motor on full E85… E50/E60 is as much as the stock pump can handle.

Yes, that's what I thought.
Now, the HPFP + injectors allow enough fuel for that type of HP but if you're in normal mode, everyday driving, are you getting stock gas mileage or is the modified fuel consumption across the board?
