They must have bee n
One of the first things I did was swap the tires for the Bridgestone Pole Position tires, as others mentioned, these have plenty of grip. Just driving home I noticed how each pebble of dirt stuck and flung off the SC2 tires, so they were put away quickly. Knock on wood, but 3000+ miles of daily roads and driving have produced zero chips in paint. I had some rock guards on but the side splitters I installed didn't work with them very well so I took them off, still no issues. These pole position and the PS4 tires are probably best buys, keep in mind they are summer tires still, so depending on where you'll be driving you may need something else.
Take it for what you will, but from my experience on my 1LE and other cars using wide front tires, I would not turn away this based on just sticky compound tires vs not. As long as you physically have a tire in the same position as where the PP2 front tires sit, you can, and likely will, still get chips. The tires will still throw [street-mixed] water and debris up. You're not getting around that. In addition, it depends where you live and the level of debris in the roads.FYI, same spot. Touched it the chips with color n drive, then hit it with some Ultimate Compound and some elbow grease. Amazing.
Hello! How much was the factory active exhaust? Is it plug and play?Already started modding. Black out kit and rock guards installed today, steeda xpipe and clutch return spring, 20% ceramic tint, and ordered the factory active exhaust. Got a pic of it waxed for the first time, I gotta say I really like the Kona blue. More to come...
If you have an insider at your local dealer they can do a search and narrow it down pretty easy. Otherwise its time consuming looking on the ford inventory site, or cars.com, but it can be done. Personally I'd wait and find a 2019 with rev match.
Yep, plug and play, mostly. All the parts were $530 including the Forscan OBDII scan tool. I have the 301a package, so I just need to change one line of code in the as-built data, then everything will work like factory. The digital dash requires two lines to be changed. The common denominator is the magneride suspension. Because of that one option our wiring harnesses have the provisions for the active exhaust. The connector is blocked off and attached to the side of the charcoal canister.
I don't need it, but that is darn good information right there Mattusmc
Just do a chat w Ford on build price site. Spec what you want and they will ask for link to build. The kindly request a nationwide search.
