wowzers. i only had one real driving and 388 miles with the CUP2s. went back to the same stretch of mountain road yesterday with the PS4s and.......sorta want CUP2s. the car was way more planted in the corners. like it was being sucked to the ground.

the CUP2s just toss all the AZ road debris down the car sides though. not to mention they would not last more than 5k miles of spirited driving here.

it was cool to experience the difference and gain the knowledge though. had no clue it would be so dramatic.

now back to decal mods.

SO interesting development that spoils the entire GRANGER process.

my car sat 3 weeks at the rail yard in KC for unknown reasons. other Granger orders came through there and found their way to the dealer at the that time. so how could it be a truck driver shortage thing....

the driver side front rim was noted to have minor damage when replacing the CUP 2s. someone damaged it with an impact and socket while removing it. that tire had an interior blister and rubber pieces floating around. this happens when you drive a high performance tire while flat. now i have a damaged front rim and unusable $500 tire. not to mention that tire would have failed under sport car driving conditions as some point...

GRANGER has ghosted me on the matter. non responsive to date. as a result i don't recommend buying a car from them. i dont recommend buying a car sight unseen either.

the car showed up with two factory paint defects that they noted and knew about, BUT failed to inform me of prior to my purchase. i had to ask them once the car showed up and was told to warranty them locally. next, the roof clearly had damaged and work done to it post build. the paint doesn't match. finally, the tire issue which they have completely ignored.

yes, the cost and process of purchasing the car was great. the wait, final product, and their concern for the customer post purchase suck.

#YMMV

Moving on because damn I love this car.

Battery tender installed. I have done this 4 times now?? Each time I sell / trade in the car I always leave the hardwire for the tender and radar detector and have to buy those parts new.

Also horrible routing of that harness Ford. The fuse box lid goes up 1/3rd maybe.

I agree about opening the fuse box! I just got my CTEK charger and was looking at where to hook up the charger. Thanks for the photo showing where the + connection goes. I assume the fuse is just hanging between the fuse box and lid?

yes sir. you can wedge it in there to keep that section secure. very easy process.

Some +5 HP Decal Mods from Badge King over on Facebook. These are quality products. Well the chassis number decal. The other two are Beramo Films and so so. Still need to tackle removing the carbon trap and replacing the air filter.

Real HP GAINS with this mod. Basically a mechanic now right?!!?

Carbon trap removed as the masses believe this is how / why the 22 lost 10 HP.

I love those. I’m not on any social media, so is there another way to get in touch with Badge King? I didn’t find any searching on Google.
