Finally installed the factory Ford convertible/ecoboost flat style spoiler!

Just the right amount of spoiler in my opinion and the addition of black accent.

I agree. Very nice.

Looking forward to seeing it with all your new goodies installed. Great choices in the black accents to go with the magnetic

Well, giving the one piece driveshaft ONE more try. I've tried Shaftmasters aluminum then DSS aluminum and just now pulled the trigger on a DSS carbon fiber.

First shaft sold to get a CV joint style after I decided to not do diff bushings or inserts.

Second sold due to not liking the increased drivetrain clunking from having a one piece (first had same side effects).

This one is carbon fiber and I'm hoping it's true that they are better at absorbing harmonics. That and the gears were just re-shimmed to .008" to tighten up the back lash so I have my fingers crossed between the two I'll have better results.

The driveshaft is the only piece on my car currently that hasn't been upgraded to the best of the best and I feel I owe myself one more try lol.

Wish me luck lol

Good luck Jaime.
I hope this one is it!

Jaime, I think you'll like the DSS CF. I recently had one installed and I was pleasantly surprised at how quite it was compared to some reviews of other one piece DS. And yes you and your car do deserve the best :cheers: Looking forward to what you think of it.

Awesome build with great info! Thanks Jmeo!

Sorry if I missed it, but why did you have to get your FRPP half shafts rebuilt?

Looking good Jaime!

Can't wait to see the car and meet you at the Ford National in June:cheers:

Awesome build with great info! Thanks Jmeo!

Thank you. 3 of the 4 CV joints were leaking. G Force really took care of me and fixed them quick

The car is looking great Jaime! I really like the black trim parts :cheers: I guess I lucked out on my DSS aluminum driveshaft. I have not experienced any vibration or notable added NVH. However, I might still change over to the carbon fiber in the future. I look forward to hearing your impressions of it once installed. Keep up the good work

Little help guys, here is what I'm deciding between.

Either this but "Michelin" on top and bottom

Or one of these. I'm kinda liking the "Pilot Super Sport" better but would want letters the same size as the "Michelin" and making sure the font is the same for all letters.

What say you??

Jaime

This one Jaime!

 

[Jmeo]

This one Jaime!

What I'm thinking to just same font and size all around. Thanks for your input [emoji106]
