I ended up painting them with the G2 epoxy paint in Ford Magnetic. I was hoping to spray them since Magnetic is metallic, but the sprayer that G2 sells clogged up before completing the first caliper so I ended up brushing them anyway. The metallic turned out OK with carefully applied brush...

I seems like it took forever to find an opportunity to paint the calipers and detail the car with the spring weather raining every week... Here are the photos:

I have the OPT Arrows. The pin in the connector has corroded and eroded. The trouble is that there is no such connector in the vehicle's original wiring. This replaces the light bulb socket. The female connector, which is part of the OEM wiring, is part # 3U2Z-14S411-FHAB (also called...

They are summer tires, might be a while unless I setup a photo op. Also, would like to have the calipers painted for the photo. I'm leaning toward the G2 caliper paint in Magnetic. I'm imagining something between black and the uncoated factory aluminum (mine are dingy now, so a little darker...

I dropped the wheels off at the shop to be blacked out. Should get them back early next week. Ordered the black 5.0 emblems. Now I just need to find a set of black take-offs to replace my winter wheels.

Which black paint did you use on the hydraulic lines? Does it also need to be hi-temp caliper paint?

Definitely no logos. I'm thinking another option would be to black out the wheels and go with the G2 color match to the Ford OEM "Magnetic". Not sure if that is dark enough though. Looking for some type of dark gun metal so that it has a little contrast to the black wheels and resembles a...

Thanks for the pics and ideas. If anyone else has a RR with different color calipers, please post. I have been thinking about blacking out the wheels and the 5.0. Black or perhaps dark gunmetal, charcoal or OEM Cast silver / clear are moving to the top of the list, if I get the wheels...

I have a 2016 Ruby Red California Special. Over the years, the calipers have started to collect stains (maybe corrosion?). My thought is to sand blast them and then paint them to prevent the gungy look from returning. What would be the best color for the calipers? I have been thinking about...

Pulled mine off last night. It has splines on it, but I'm suspicious that a new arm is just a smooth taper and the post presses the splines into it when installed. I rotated it to the next 'tooth' and that put it way up the window so I positioned it correctly and pressed it in again by...

No wonder it smells so horrible on start up. I wonder about the net gain...

I certainly hope they are the correct wiper blades. Purchased from the dealer based on VIN lookup. I will look into rotating the wiper arm one spline worth. Although I would never have suspected that the factory would install them incorrectly and just let it go as is. One more spline notch...

Looks like there is some room for adjustment on the driver's side wiper arm

I had a similar mystery. On a really hot day, mine started blowing hot while on the freeway. Did it a few more times on subsequent trips. It would blow hot for a short while then go back to cold, then hot again. Also started to notice that it was doing it only on the freeway and seemingly...

I'll take a look...

The aluminum hood (flutter and corrosion)! When traveling on the freeway in the wind or at higher speeds (our speed limits are up to 80mph around here), the hood flutters. It is securely closed and I have even tightened up the rubber bumpers at the front. It flutters all over its surface but...

Now that you mention it... I vaguely remember reading about this, but I don't recall how to get it to crank without allowing it to start. Can you remind me? (for a 2016 GT, M6.)

I call your "nothing wrong with them" and raise you a windshield wiper nit-pick... When lifting the wipers off the windshield, the tip of the driver's side wiper always gets hung up on the passenger side arm, even when I try to pull it "out and around". A scuff mark has formed on the passenger...

My 2016 does this too. I stopped using the automatic "reset the seat and mirrors based on which key is being used" because of it. Although it doesn't matter much since it is hardly ever driven by anyone else in my clan. Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll have to take it in and get it updated...

I don't like that the startup revs are so high on a cold engine. My car can sit for weeks during the summertime. I cringe every time it blasts the RPM so high before the oil pressure is up and has had time to get pumped through the entire engine. Sounds awesome though, but it won't do it...
