Installed some carbon fiber interior overlays from CarbonCore which finally arrived after a 4week wait. I was a bit worried it would look cheap and hokey but actually looks great. Got a great deal on sale.

I try, I washed it up, ceramic coated the wheels with the turtle wax hybrid ceramic, I painted the little windshield wiper fluid after those photos earlier, a semi gloss black. looks better than yellow. debating on painting yellow dipstick for oil black or keep yellow.

Oh I agree
Ya talking about the black paint, thinking yes. Hate looking at the rear and see mufflers, black paint hides them

Back view & side looking thru the rear of the wheel well, ugly mufflers.

Pictures worth a thousand words, used the same trick for the axel backs

What looks best to you?

I agree about the paint, does look much better. I was just joking about the plain tips that come on the active exhaust and how it looks like you had polished yours up. I've polished on mine some but they aren't as shiny as yours.

I went with a brushed finish - I thought it looked a little better than the ‘semi polished complete with burrs’ look that ford supplied them with ... lol

Yeah Ford really spent the money and time on those tips...lol The burrs really ticked me off, like damn, you couldn't hit it with a file after ya cut it. I still need to do some more work on mine, but I'm just really not in the mood to drop the mufflers to get at them better.

I Used these: https://www.steeda.com/steeda-mustang-front-and-rear-sway-bar-kit-2015-555-1017.html and noticed a big difference. No more mushy cornering or body roll without being too stiff. And , yes, 4 wheel alignment afterwords using Steeda's suggested setup.
I recently did the same with the Steeda adjustable end links. What a difference, that floaty front feeling is completely gone, you turn the car goes. I ended up using the stiffest setting on the front and rear, love it. 192% stiffer than the stock PP1 front sway bar.

No worry.

Seeing them off the car, indeed look shiny. Cause the sides are seen. Another optic taking away the shine. The tips are surrounded and tucked up under the defuser. You see the defuser being mirrored.

Then there is that fact when viewed, we are looking into the tips

Point being your's are just as shinny you just can not see it.. :cwl:

Installed BMR CB010 and CB762. Getting the main cradle bolts to line up wasn't bad but getting the smaller bolts on the brace to the frame was a PITA on the passenger side. I did the install alone so I used a ratchet strap as another member on the forum mentioned they did and it helped dial it in. All torqued down and no issues on test drive. Next step, alignment.
