PP2 real life pictures

Actually, the PP2 package is a limited availability package. I don't know what kind of quantities are planned, but Magneride as well is a controlled commodity option with limited availability. I haven't seen many sitting on lots, and any that are dealer stock orders seem to be going pretty quickly. As for price, my retail order MY18 301A with PP2, active exhaust, and cloth Recaros stickered for $47,080. I bought it for $42,500 less $3,000 rebate and $750 private cash for a net price (before TTL) of $38,750. I think I did pretty well on price, particularly since I was one of those who ordered free Recaros and Ford started charging for them before I took delivery. My dealer went above and beyond and ate the cost of the Recaros in hopes that they could get the money back from Ford. I need to find out how that eventually worked out for them. I'm guessing those you are seeing are net of the current rebates (still $3,000 in my area).

Hey Everyone!

Just picked my 2018 PP2 a couple days ago! Really excited about it!

Hoping to do a HPDE in a couple of weeks. Planning on taking it nice and easy! With that said, do I need to flush brake fluid and change brake pads for more track-centric set-up? Like I said, I won't be driving terribly hard, but I do want to enjoy the car without experiencing brake fade.

And guidance is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Has anyone installed any stone guards on their PP2? If so, which are you using? Pics please!

I gotta see pics too. I got 2 rock chips on my passenger side rear and 1 on the driver side. I do too many power shifts and hard launches.

BTW Continental makes a 295/35/19 now in their new Extreme Contact Sport. I'm still thinking MPSS in 305/35/19. My neighbor just got a 2018 PP1 and the car just looks better with some sidewall.

@JD_GTPP2 , Did you go with 305 all around?

I ran a set of these on my GTO. For the price, they are a pretty good value tire. They are really good through the first 1/3 tread life. Then they start to lose a little dry grip and get rather loud. Wet grip is not the best, but they will get you by. Sidewalls also seem to be a little on the softer side. I considered them for the Mustang just because of the price point, but opted for Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Positions instead. I'm very happy with the Bridgestones so far and would rate them above the Hankooks. I'd expect 30K miles out of either tire, but I'm hoping the last 15K is a little better from the Bridgestones. Time will tell. Tires typically seem to be one of those "you get what you pay for" items.

Front only here too so far. I think they look great and i appreciate the peace of mind. I bought them a week before the car even arrived thanks to lurking on this site:cheers:. I also have the rear but haven't had time to install yet, I think the rear wheels may have to come off and I don't know if they are quite the necessity that the front are. Are people getting chips in the back too?

mvfjet and 2018OFPP1?2, thank you both, I'll be installing the rear ASAP! Had the car two days and already have a big chip right in front of the hood on the grill, don't want any more.

To shift gears for a sec, has anyone installed wheel locks? Which ones? I think about how much money is on the ground and how easy they would be to steal every time I park the car....

I managed to mount the rear guards without removing the wheels. Trial fit everything, measure, use making tape as a guide to mark the block mounting locations on the flap, drill and mount the blocks to the flap, and then carefully mount the assembled blocks/flap to the car. Honestly though, it would would probably be faster to just remove the rear wheels and follow the included instructions.

My 3 rock chips are all on the back. My rock guards should be here by Friday.
