Opinions? As harsh as they may be...

Personally i like it alot. Will look good i think  when you dip or powder coat all 4 of them.

Ended up with some free time. Got the T-stat, spark plugs and 3 bar installed.......

Sadly i too have the leaking seal around the spark plugs.. Back center spark plug... another trip to the dealer :(
2013 SHO

SHOdded

Seems to be an issue with the 2013s?  2010-12 had the chaffed knock sensor wire issue back there.  At least you found the issue before it gotcha'd you, panther!  Good luck.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Me too!!! would like the shiny black with chrome on inner parts. Think it might throw a silver circle when spinning fast.

Honestly, I don't know where the cutoff would be for "tune only" status.  I'd assumed stock + tune = tune only status.  Plug gap/change I can justify as protection for the engine, you kinda have to do this if tuned.  Don't have to do (tho good to do) TStat, 3bar, etc.  IDK.
I'm confused on this as well. Just looking for clarity. Fastest "tune only" at 12.66 was lowered right?

Had to cover the lugs
I think the center five spokes black out and half circle stay silver would show off the black. I did something like this, the 1st time with my wheels.

1st look


final look

I order it to go play with it from the factory, No option but 12S PP package, NO sun roof, NO heated/cool seats, no sun shade, and so on and so on. At the track with a 1/4 tank of gas bone stock MY SHO was 4160lb. With METH KIT, 3" Down-Pipe, 2.5" Exhaust w/X-pipe, 275x40x20 it's 4235lb (1/4 tank) METH tank full.

Very nice. How fast are those times now?
best TIME @80deg was 12.33sec, At 59deg (the temp @12.66sec) I think with some cooler temp I will hit 12.2-12.1sec!!!!!!

1st SHO is the 1st/only to hit 11sec with even with BIG TURBO but he added a custom fwr wheel traction link sys. To kill that wheel hop and better 60's feet. He gave me his set-up I'm going with that before the turbo.
