What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[crashnburn]

Today I changed out my wiper blades with a set of Motorcraft OEM style replacement wipers. I also decided to fill my car up and put the gasoline inside the tank this time. Does anyone have any suggestions for any other good wiper blades to use on the SHO?

I've tried a bunch of different blades on our vehicles and have come to the conclusion that the Motorcraft work the best...I've tried everything including the top line Rain-X and Bosch, but nothing works as good as the Motorcraft...so that's what I'm using from now on.

Went through all of the top brands for our ride as well. Ford factory wipers actually work best, and I am a sucker for the latest greatest  new gimmicky wipers.

Yeah and the Motorcraft blades have the makeshift air spoiler so they will wipe better at 80. Lol. These are 17 each from the local dealer. I guess I could save a couple bucks by getting them online, but it's not worth the hassle. In Alabama you need good wipers on your daily driver as it rains every singe day this time of the year

Drove it a around in the hot and humid 90 degree weather.  This new tune is fast in the heat.     Cannot wait until a 50 degree day....look out.  LOL

I sprayed my Flex to get rid of Fleas.

I rotated my tires, what a pain in the ass to since you need to swap the rears with opposite side fronts. I also got my MGP caliper covers on and washed her today.

Sounds good Scott!  Any pics of the caliper covers?

[Scott13SHO]

Only thing I don't care for is the red doesn't match the car, but otherwise I like them.

They look pretty close.  I hear you will have much less brake dust to deal with now too!

I haven't put mine on yet, but my rear ones for my 2011 look significantly larger than yours (not the same size as fronts). I hope they sent me the right size.

I have the same caliper covers on my Flex.  They don't help much with my stop tech pads.

Came back from an 800 mile round trip, rotated the tires, waxed the inside and outside of the wheels. Washed her, and waxed her.  Cruising at 75...24.7 mpg with the a/c and a head wind. 

[SHOdded]

Good mileage!  Got any pics from your trip or from the wash&wax to share?

Scott13SHO,

Do the covers for the 2013 require wheel spacers? I want some caliper covers, but I hate the thought of my wheels not being mounted directly to my car.

Had new Goodyears F1 installed on all 4 corners.  Stockers died at 15k miles, passenger rear tire had the least amount of tread, never rotated.

Black center caps and black lugs.

I'm spraying now!


Slow remote washer fill fix. There is no vent for the air presser for the bottom tank but if you just make a vent hole , the remote will just keep fill the bottom tack right out vent hole. So you have to run you vent line into the top remote, air vent until the tank is full work good.

chad:
The advantage of the flower petal wheels is the covers really stand out. Looks rear nice. With the '10 wheels not near as much. As for as dust, odd thing on mine w/ EBC red's is front has much less dust then before but the rear has more. Maybe someone a lot more technical can explain that. As far as spacers had to put them on my '10 but my guy said no big deal he has them on his dragster. No issue i've seen or felt with the spacers.
