They just denied the repair of my front fascia's broken clips because I had
suspension mods and 20" wheels and tires. Got so pissed off at them I said
screw my warranty and purchased a Roush fascia. Next will be MGW Race
Spec shifter and then supercharger. Just glad I didn't buy the extended
warranty.

Ford (he doesn't have a S/C on his car).

Ford will deny warranty for any reason they can cook up.

I had to strip my Steeda IRS braces off for them to work on the vibration issue. I was waiting for them to point to my mud flaps as well & claim they were creating turbulence in the wheel wells & causing the vibration.

[MENTION=18798]MikeD1[/MENTION] that sucks balls. But does it have anything to do with the Roush warranty? The dude a couple of posts back said "the warranty isn't all it's cracked up to be" or whatever. I guess the whole warranty discussion started because I said in my build sheet that I went with the phase 1 so that I could get the warranty.

No, I was just commenting his warranty issues were with Ford, not Roush.
When I built my car the warranty was important to me, it was one of the reasons for picking the Roush in the 1st place. Roush has always fixed the cars of the ppl I'm aware of that have it, tho sometimes it took some nagging to get it done. A LOT depends on your dealer and how aggressively they push to get things done (with Ford or Roush).

IMO, the Roush warranty seemed to cover the things Ford was likely to point a finger at the S/C and tell you to pound sand if they broke. It does have it's limitations ($$ and components) but I felt better knowing it was there, especially on a brand new car.

Mods Round 1!!!

Today I installed the Eibach 20mm wheel spacers front and rear, the Big Worm side accent stripes, the Roush faux gas cap emblem, Monster Lug red lug nuts, GT350R steering wheel, ecoboost boost gauge, and the redline hood struts!

Sorry for the quality, cell phone pics.
