I went with Black R355's myself. I've always loved 5 spoke wheels. I considered Bronze, but I was never able to see any Bronze wheels in person on an S550. They're still sitting in the corner of the house waiting for me to do my suspension mods next week.
I bought the Carpro Dlux and used it on my new rims, but then I decided I'm just going to have my car professionally paint corrected and ceramic coated. I don't have the patience or knowledge to do a full paint correction.
I decided on tire sizes finally. I'm going with Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02's in 285/35/19 and 325/30/19.
My question is, do I need to run any kind of spacer anymore? I currently have 1" spacers on my stock PP1 wheels. I know I won't need a 1" spacer, but will I need anything for the...
I just went to Hyer Quality Detail today to have them tell me how much of a paint correction I needed. Looks like I'm looking at around $1500 for multistage paint correction and their Silver package ceramic coating. Here's what their coatings included and the prices.
Bronze: $550
Silver: $800...
It comes with 20 or 21 self taping screws. I used all of them and some double sided tape just incase. It feels similar to the OEM PP1 lip. It's pretty thin, but it feels sturdy mounted. I'm not disappointed with it. Plus, it's affordable to replace if it ever gets too damaged.
Cut a slit in the battery cover hole you drill, so you can slip it off over the strut. Most of the other brands mention that in the instructions or install videos. Not sure if the Ford struts do.
In 3 weeks I'll be taking a week off work to get all this done. Does anyone have a recommended order to install all the rear parts? All the front parts will be done at the same time. I don't want to have to loosen the subframe multiple times. Below is the list of parts I bought.

How many people get the certificates from Discount Tire? I'm not entirely sure if it's worth it to me. I know they make a substantial amount of money off it hoping that the people who buy the certificates never use them. But in the last 20+ years of driving, I've only gotten a flat tire twice...
Sure, here's the link. It is one piece and it's held on with self taping screws. I added some double sided tape just incase.

Selling my factory heated steering wheel off my 2019 GT Premium. Came off the car 28,750 miles. This is off a manual GT. The wheel is in good condition with no rips or frayed stitching.
Asking $75 plus shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states. May ship out of the US but at buyer's expense.
Anyone have any recommendations in the Mesa or possibly Phoenix area that has experience with doing alignments on S550's? I'm doing a bunch of suspension parts in a few weeks and I don't really want to take my car to a big chain shop that will just set the specs to factory and call it good.
My calipers are hazy from who knows what, so when I do all my suspension mods at the end of the month, I'm going to repaint them, and clean the surface rust off my rotors as well.
I'm going with G2 caliper paint, just can't decide on a color. I feel like I should get the custom color and go...
