Ruby Red TTT!!!

Had my baby Rosa for a tad over 5 weeks now and am just about done with round 1 of mods which included.... 15% tint, GT350 track pack spolier, blacked out 5.0/GT emblems, Diode Dynamics red interior lights and cool white reverse light, Steeda street short throw shifter and black delrin reverse lockout collar, Steeda clutch spring, Ford Performance air/oil separator, JLT master cylinder cover, plastidip top 1/2 of coolant tank, trunk close strap, coyote start/stop button sticker overlay.

As you can see almost all of my mods so far have just been fine tuning some appearance while I get a feel for what I want to change performance-wise. While the Steeda short throw is better than stock I feel that shifting could still be improved. Looking into the full MGW shifter maybe before winter comes too (already have the BG fluid ready to go in). Besides that and waiting on my Anarchy Motive knob to arrive I will be swapping into snow tires and call it a day... until round 2 in the Spring.

Rum Punch Ruby, Mods look great. Especially your spoiler. Haven't seen a new post in awhile for RR. Here's a pair of Ruby's.

Paint correction is machine polishing out all the scratches, swirls, etc in the paint to get it to the best possible finish.

Coating is a protective layer, usually ceramic or acrylic. It is far more durable then a sealant or wax, beads water the best, and has a hardener in it. Some describe it as putting another layer of clear coat on.

The wheels are stock 19" Black accent package wheels.

I don't have a straight on side shot at the moment. This is the closest I have.

Yes 25mm spacers on all 4. BMR performance springs. Perfect stance in my opinion.

i thought about getting these wheels for winter tires on my 15 PP, but wasnt sure since my rear is wider than the fronts...would spacers in the rear make up the difference if i just went with the black accent wheels? since im staggered and the BA package isnt....?
