Check the hi-res photos.

I don't care for the black side skirts on the bottom, or the fugly rims, but it's Ford after all. It makes it look even higher than it already is. And don't American cars just come in the best colors?

I can't wait to see one slammed on 20's or 21's. Maybe there already are pics of modded 2010's out there? Does this really look that different than the prior model?

It's a decent design. It's a little hard to judge the car with that ugly color though.
I am really glad they got rid of that horrible cheap Chinese plastic gear lever and e-brake.

Funny you should ask...just got them back yesterday (TR took 2 long weeks for a 3rd balance!) and put them on tonight. I went for a quick spin and all seems ok, but I've said that prematurely in the past. I am going to wait till Friday when I drive it to work....and then I'll know for sure how it's handling on the highway at 70 or higher. I hadn't driven my car in 2 weeks, while waiting for them. I didn't want to get my 172's dirty!

All Tirerack did was re-balance them, as I figured they would. They only found 1 wheel out of balance (so they say). I am not sure what good that's going to do me, since the 2 fronts that were causing shimmy weren't touched. I flip-flopped the right side this time, so that's my last attempt at trying all setups. I will keep you posted.

Hope it works out man. It stinks that you're going through all this trouble.

Oh and the mustang, make sure you let me know when you get it, so I can drive to Pittsburgh and pick up the 550i. LOL.


My sister's b/f's family is from Pittsburgh. It would be interesting if you knew the family. The Sattler's?


Then again.. Its a big town and doubt that yah know them.


Merry Christmas!

Sorry....don't know 'em. I can go out on the town or to a game with 60,000 fans and see no one I know. Maybe I just don't know enough people!

So, you want to take over my 550i payments??? Merry Christmas to you too.
