Married a few days and you are already calling your young bride "ole girl"! lol

Congratulations and good luck with the mods!

Some pics I grabbed today with the new 6D. Super impressed with this thing over my T5i. Can't wait to put it on a tri-pod next time.

Got around to installing the Steeda Strut Tower Brace today. Really cleans up the engine bay look by ridding of the OEM silver one. And of course the quality of Steeda's parts are always the best.

Before:

The new rubber came in as well since I've ran mine all the way down already. Same tires as before, Nitto NT-05 315/35/20 .

Installed my GT350 shift knob a month ago but never got around to take pics. Ordered from CJ Pony Parts. The shift knob and the start button really compliment each other.

Hey Trevor!

First off, congrats on the wedding! (hope you have enjoyed spending money on the car...J/K!)

Second, the car is looking great since the last time I checked in. I like the subtle things you have going on, especially the rear deck lid Coyote badge. I wonder if they make something like that for the S197.

And those Baer rotors are gonna be SICK! But of course, they'd better be for $1K! LOL

Question...about how mant miles did you get out of the NT-05s? I really want those for my next set of tires, but I figure I'd be lucky if I got 10K miles out of them DDing and occasional track days and autocrossing.

Thanks Chip! SpaceCitySpy is the company that is making the Coyote Badges. Right now there is a waiting list, but you could try picking one up and trying it out!

I know, I'm super stoked to get them on the car. Yeah the $1,500 price tag was hard to swallow but I've been wanting them for a while now.

I got about 12-15k out of them. I've heard of people only getting 5k out of the NT-05's but I didn't exactly do burnouts and roast 1st every time I drove it either lol. They were excellent tires I thought. I only had 1 track day from my old car on them.

When I first read this I thought you were saying the Coyote badges were $1500 ... :omfg: :omfg:

The Baer Eradi-Speed Rotors arrived! What a better way to spend a rainy day then to install them!

Absolutely love the look. Although I didn't weigh them, the Baer's are significantly lighter than the OEMs. Going to spend the evening tomorrow breaking them in.

Rotors look great behind those wheels.
I'm assuming no fender liners because air ride?

Sub'd. Too bad they are sold out of everything right now :(

I got about 12-15k out of them. I've heard of people only getting 5k out of the NT-05's but I didn't exactly do burnouts and roast 1st every time I drove it either lol. They were excellent tires I thought. I only had 1 track day from my old car on them.

Actually, that's not too bad. IIRC correctly, I think I only got about 15K miles out of my old Conti Extreme Contact DWs, and that was with a couple of track days and a handful of autocross events. I may have to pull the trigger on the NT05s.

Thanks for the info! :beer:
