Hey! My name is Curtis, I am 28 years old with a wife and 2 month old baby boy. I am in the banking industry, and drive a 2011 Ford Taurus SHO. It is Tuxedo Black with Black Leather/Suede interior. I installed an Airaid CAI and had the car tuned by Livernois Motorsports out of Michigan... MAN what a difference! I recently blacked out the wheels, and grille using platidip, which is a revolutionary product that I have grown to love. I look forward to spending some time on here.

Welcome!

That's a great looking SHO you have there, very nice sublte mods!  I need to debadge the TAURUS letters like you did, very clean!

I need to play with this plastidip.  The magnesium chloride they use to deice the roads here eats up chrome (brown spots you can't get rid of).  Would love to plasti all of the chrome.

You'll fit right in here!

I am in the Knoxville area. Specifically in Corryton.  Good to see other people close by.

Plasti Dip is the way to go! I love this stuff.... I painted all 4 wheels and the grille in a little over an hour.  Only prep work is to clean the surface, and then place plastic bags over your calipers and rotors.... then spray your heart out.  You can always check out www.dipyourcar.com to see these guys do it.... great place to learn.

Welcome to EBPF, Curtis.  Congrats on your new baby & new SHO!  Great start with the PD, looks very clean :thumb:  Which tune did you get from Livernois?  If you visit the track, put up some slips in the Drag Times section.

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!

Thank you! I got the stage 4 93 octane tune.  I am actually planning a trip to the strip this Friday evening if I can get out of work in time.  I will be putting my times up here for sure so everyone can get an idea of what to expect.  Our track around here is just an 1/8th mile track, but should be able to get some good #'s there.

I was actually born and raised in Franklin TN, and then moved to Brentwood, then to Knoxville.  So I know exactly where you are talking about.  Good to have another TN native around.
