Exactly. People think you need to deform something in order to cause it to flex when that’s just not true at all. That thin excuse of a “bracket” is just another area where ford decided to be a cheap ass unfortunately.
Honestly if you like the stock shifter feel and throw, just get the Barton two post bracket, stainless clutch line, and change out the fluid. It made a world of difference for me, but I eventually went with MGW because I wanted a shorter throw.
You could always get one of the “touring” cat-back if you wanted a bit more sound, or even an axle-back.
Glad to see you’re finally headed in the right direction.
not for nothing but this headache you have on your hands now landed in your lap regardless of how your world supposedly works. It’s life and sometimes shit just happens, unless you feel like it’s karma for something else.
When they auction it, it normally goes to someone who’s got the money...
Damn.. it kills me to think what you could’ve gotten with all this money you’re spending. If anything, it’s a cautionary tale for others who may encounter this situation to just not touch the car and seek legal counsel.
Best of luck with whatever happens and hopefully you can sue and get some...
You’re more patient than I am, that’s for damn sure, lol. Gloves would have came off when I saw the car wasn’t as described and modded all to hell.
Would be cool to see a nice build come from this, but the car should’ve never left the dealer that sold it in the condition it’s in. Good luck to whatever you decide, will be following to see what happens.
i was actually looking at those too. I saw that wheel replicas has those for 200 per wheel from discount tire, but don’t know how sturdy those actually are.
Yeah surprisingly dealerships didn’t have many of the DMG cars around my area. I had an order in for an Oxford white car, but they had slowed down production again so I wasn’t sure if it was gonna get built so I got this one.
but I do like my grays
Yeah I agree black is done a lot but I have one of the few DMG 5.0s in my area so it already stands out. I don’t want to stand out even more. I just want a wider tire to help put the power down better while daily driving.
Looking at a couple different wheel options. I’ve narrowed it down to the R350 Black in 19x10 and the black R355 in the same 19x10 setup.
