Howdy from TN...new here but not new to the car world. Been building and drag racing Mustangs for over 20 years now. Decided I wanted to slow down and just enjoy life. Instead of working under the hood of a car all the time! LoL Bought a 2013 SHO back in May and have been loving it ever since! She's got some stuff done to her now...so we'll see which way I head with it. I'll upload some pics here in a few.

Well so far I've done the Powerstop brake rotors and pads being the stock stuff was warped. Got rid of the flower wheels for a set of 20x9.5's with 275/40/20's all the way around. Car already had a drop in K&N filter so I left that...added a 3 bar MAP and of set of plugs gapped at .028" swapped the thermostat for a 170 and being I tune my own vehicles I put my own tune on it. I've been playing with my wife's 2013 F150 Ecoboost tune for several years...so the SHO was easy enough. Although the shift maps and converter maps take a few to figure out. But I managed...even got it to lock the converter in 2nd now. Next is meth injection...but I wanted to handle some things on appearance first. So I had the front end repainted to get rid of the front license plate holes. Plus there were a few rock chips on the hood. While I was at it I swapped in a new grille and some DRL switchbacks. This past weekend I installed a set of BC Racing coilovers...just need to get it aligned now. Few months ago I built a custom sub box for it. Next on the list is to upgrade the stock speakers. But I'l probably do the meth injection first...that about covers it for now. My area of TN has emissions testing, so I'm on the fence on downpipes. So we'll see...think that about covers it for now. It's been raining here all weekend, so no pics of it lowered yet. But I didn't go crazy...I don't like a slammed car. So I dropped the front 1" and the rear 1.5", so soon as the sun decides to come back out I'll get some updated pics.

Welcome to the community, Ryan from TN!  Nice ride, and great mods list already!
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!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the welcome. And yes I agree...white is the best! It's the first white vehicle the wife has approved of...of course she doesn't mind driving it either!
