New to me car - '13 5.0

[stlsteph08]

Wow..I'm a sucker for cleaning products. What did you use?

All Zaino stuff. That's all I've ever used on my cars and have had good luck with it. My brother uses Adams on his Z06, and I've tried that occasionally, just always liked Zaino more.

Can you tell I like red? lol

Not a good pic of the black one, but it had multiple coats of Zaino also.

Found a set of Forgestars way quicker than I thought I would. Merry Christmas to my car lol. Even though it's hard to tell, fronts are piano black, rears are matte so I'm going to have them powdercoated. Thinking Bronze Burst Sparkle. Should look good and be different with the darker red.

^ Nice, looking forward to the installed pictures!

 

[stlsteph08]

Well, opted to be different. Just got them powdercoated. Should be on in a week or so! Pretty excited.

Jeez...I love what you did with those wheels.

Finally got the wheels and tires on BUUUUT, the car is still sitting like a truck LOL. Springs and other suspension is going on this week. Here's some 4x4 pics.

They look great in person, but I can't get a good enough pic to do the color of the wheels justice. It keeps coming out darker bronze in pics.

Anyway, here's some before lowering pics. Car just hit 3,000 miles lol

Will post more next week after it's not in F150 mode.

I have been considering bronze wheels on my Dark Candy Apple Red car but kinda feared that I was a bit crazy for thinking the combo would look good. That fear is now gone, love it!

If I had to start again, I'd look for the exact same car you've got-except, I'd need a glass roof-that would make it perfect to me.

Great car, congrats. I can't wait to see it with an altitude adjustment.

What size tires/wheels?

 

[stlsteph08]

19x9 and 19x10; 275/40 up front and 285/40 out back.

Thank you! I wanted to be different instead of doing the so common black wheel thing and I'm pretty happy I did. I think it'll look even better when lowered.

Looks great!

Some updated pics of my '13. Finally got some suspension work done and the windows tinted. Car just hit 4,000 miles. lol

Wheels still look black in most pics:

And our '93 fox body for shits and grins.. car is now white pearl:
