2020 S550 GT Premium Convertible, Custom Wheels, Black Badges, Wind Screen. Well The First Major Bolt On's are now installed, JLT Cold Air Intake, Catch Can, New Steel Coolant Tank, Borla Cat-Back Exhaust System 3" S-Type With 4" Polished Tips Without Factory Active Exhaust Option .

Tuned to Dual Fuel, Premium 93 and/or E85l. DYNO SAE Baseline for Coyote turned out at 403 HP with 390 Ft pounds Torque. After new Mods above Same Dyno, 445 HP/ 450 Ft pounds on E85.

Plus So Loud my wife is going to shoot me in the mornings when I do Cold Start.

May yet risk Divorce with Long Tube Headers in near future.

You have impeccable taste sir!

I blacked out my deck lid GT badge but thought the 5.0 blended better as silver on silver with silver wheels. Yours accent your wheels better too.

I'm hideously old, and one consequence of that in my case is that I miss chrome on cars.

I mean, I bought the Bullitt grille for the chrome surround, all right? I know that not only is this not on trend but that it hasn't been for at least thirty years. Or forty. I probably ought to be attending mutual support meetings of some sort.

But anyway, symptomatic of my afflicted attraction to shiny bits I did this, this morning:

I agree with you, I like chrome also for certain colors. Black is ok, but it shows too much dirt

I agree. Looks great.

And post some pics of those giant Q-tips when you unwrap them.

Those are, of all things, street light poles. The developer stashes them in our parking garage.

Thanks, Like the Chrome for Fenders for Stock Wheels on the Mustang Silver Color Scheme. Was a difficult decision but, the Black Wheels made it easier. I do have the Mustang Badge in Black for the Front Grill as well, I hope to get it installed in the next couple of weeks.

Finally on the schedule at Fathouse Performance for the start of Bolt Ons scheduled for September 14th, with the install of the JLT Cold Air Intake with Red Oiled Filter and a Tuner, and Lowering Springs for suspension with H Pipe Catback system with Delete and 4 inch quad Tips.

Hope that Suspension work is done with the Lowering Spring change. May yet need some more add ons from CJ Pony Parts, we shall see.

May yet go with Long Tube Headers. Depends on Sound of Exhaust. Need to add a Catch Can. Tuning for Dual Fuel. Then go staggered with Tires. Going to take a few months to complete the process.

Trying to match the listed specs to listed by Ford as I feel 460 or enough along with the
420 pound-feet of torque at 7500 RPM to wheels on Dyno.

Perhaps next year New Ported Manifold Intake and then who knows?

Update 06 November 2023,

Well, got the JLY Cold Air Intake installed, Cat Back H Pipe done , Lowering Springs installed, Finished the Black out exterior, Catch Pan installed, New Coolant Tank and Billets.

Then the Tuning Expert had a serious ATV Accident and broke His Arm in 12 different places, the surgeons saved His hand but kept him in the Hospital for the past 3 weeks. Supposedly He will be able to complete the Final Tuning this week November the 9th is Target date.

Then onto the next bit, New "D" Shape Steering wheel and New seats overall.

This has been very time consuming and expensive cannot wait to see the Final interim project when finished.

Took her to my local car show a few times

From a recent road trip through Yosemite to the eastern Sierra Nevada. Got pretty good mileage too on the long highway stretches (~27-28 MPG).

 

[Coosawjack]

BEAUTIFUL peetucket!!

 

[MagneticMan]

Wash/wax/vac etc a few days ago. Got numerous little rock chips in paint and such, showing her age up close, but she's still a beauty!

Love those seats. I have the same ones and rarely see them anywhere else.

 

[Homebrw]

That's because Ford really limited them! I wanted them on my Iconic Silver as I thought it would look as gorgeous as @MagneticMan 's, but noooo, some crazy combination wouldn't allow it to be built. Grrrrr. I got boring black.

It really looks great on monochromatic exteriors though.

 

[MagneticMan]

Those seats are part of the GT Premium package and the only way to get a 2015 convertible GT was with the GT Premium package.

They have a seat cooler and heater, and bunch of power buttons...good seats
