Nice build. With fuelly is that highway or city driving?

Thanks. It's a mix. About 50-50.

I'm just trying to figure out how much my avg mpg wil go down when I get my GT. I average 21-23 with mostly city and a little highway driving.

I've been getting around 15~16 MPG with mostly city driving - but I'm not light footed all the time either. So yeah, you're gonna see less MPG. But it's the price of having the big V8 and the fun factor that comes with it.

Yeah my Eco is quick but the sound is just meh.

Car looks great!

Did the Shrader kit come with the plywood insert, or was that the reason for the "Lowes" listing? How does the carpet color of the kit match the interior carpet? Been eyeing that one for a while. It does look like it'll hold some weight!

That is all...

Thanks!

Plywood courtesy of Lowe's. Shrader kit can't hold more than a couple bags of groceries by itself. It doesn't match the interior carpet, it's darker, but intentionally - it matches the rear dash carpet perfectly. It blends together out of sight when you see it in the rear view mirror.

Thanks! That's what I needed to hear. I'd seen it online, and it looked pretty decent. But yours is the first one I've seen actually purchased and installed. Others I've seen don't look well made at all. Going to order one for the 2016.

That is all...

Dirty, but here is a photo of the wheel in direct sunlight (3hrs after sunrise) as requested.

 

[kevin4052002]

The sun finally popped out from of all the storms I've been having, so I went down to White Sands National Monument for some photos. Enjoy!

In love with the wheels. Great job
