Drug it 500 miles..... No issues on or off the carrier with a little help from some 2x8's. I'm also 1" lower from factory Bullitt ride height. :clap:

Like the center caps on the Bullitt wheels. Never noticed that before. Cool.

Pretty sure those are aftermarket. Mine have the standard Pony. But I agree they look great and I'd love to know where they are from!

Edit: Looks like 5Spurs?

Cut the wings off of the ridiculous engine cover.
Still waiting for a company to recognise the gaping hole in the market for something similar in various different finishes. A lot of stuff is offered to billet the engine bay to death, but nothing for a cover that almost every owner of an '18 and newer car would be interested in.
Do these companies ever read the forums?

To be objective, there's maybe a few thousand people that care about the engine cover on their 5.0 So any company considering creating such a product has a pretty small market.

And reading forums would give a false impression of demand.

I used to think the same thing, but there are plenty of offerings for gen 2 engines.

Installed the "leather" wrapped OEM center console top with silver stitching that I found on eBay. I also got the OEM shift boot to match it. So now I have the entire upgraded center console in my base GT (I have the leather knee pads that you can kind of see and I also got the arm rest with the silver stitching). I found the part on eBay for a fraction of the cost of new. So those along with my katzkin seats and the PP gauges I installed my interior is about finished. I still have the base radio but to be honest I don't really care. I don't really listen to it all that much anyway. I still have the analog cluster too. I have no intention of swapping it to the digital, I like the analog better.

I ended up with some extra parts that I'll be listing for sale (some parts came bundled after I have already bought some individually, oh well).

I'm sure some will ask why I didn't get the pieces with the red stitching, especially since I have red seats. I considered it, but the silver was cheaper, easier to find and I think it looks great. Plus I can always dye the stitching red at a later date :wink:

sharpie red.. get a pack of the dual tip fine and ultra fine… take your time and it will turn out great… it maybe be a little darker than your seats. I did mine and it is hold up great.

Ive seen the sharpie method and the fabric pen. I like the sharpie method because it just soaks in vs having to color it with the fabric pen. Makes for much less mess.
Thanks for sharing, it looks great

Took the car out to detail it since it was overcast today and then when I was done the car would not start. I knew it was coming but new battery replaced with an Interstate. Either way the car looks amazing. :clap:
Looking at putting on the Soler fender badge tomorrow.

2020 GT, performance pak, active exhaust
seat heater before gluing.
color is still too red in the iphone, but close-ish
a lot of fighting with the clips and stretching covers off/on.

not complicated - no instructions though.
dunno if i mentioned it last post -- install the seatbelt strap magnets first.
they actually provide witness marks in the side where they go, but its very subtle.

Had all the necessary tools, so difficulty was 4/10, but physically 10/10

@KermiStang - (Assuming your user name is in reference to a furry frog) I spotted this and thought of you :

He’s a perfect match for grabber lime though, not need for green !

Dusted it off and went for a spin. Stopped by Ford to check out a 22 GT/CS. Nice but prefer my velocity blue.

So this is for cloth interior folks .... leather folks wouldnt appreciate it not "having come from cloth"

First grocery run in the new Katskins - getting out, one's butt spins soooo easy!!
Then noticed getting in you slip smoothly into position.

I hear ya smirkin' lol. but it's really such a difference for the positive I had to mention it in case you were like me looking for the look and ease of cleaning. There's another benefit :)
