so i came from a black GT350R. and if you have ever owned a black car, you know that nothing looks better than a mean and clean black car. but that clean look lasts all of 15 seconds. yup, 15 seconds.

well enter grabber blue metallic. the car had not been washed for 16 days. here is a picture of it before, during, and after. and what i learned is that there is no difference between a dirty grabber blue and a clean one :LOL: ...

Simply gorgeous......

That color even looks bad ass covered in soap. ;)
 
hey anyone know if you're just swapping out lug nuts can you just keep the car on the ground and swap them or do I have to lift up the car...
I break them loose on the ground, raise the tire off the ground to relieve the weight, swap the lugs and hand-tighten, lower to the ground and torque them down. But that's just the way I do it.
 
i was too cheap to pony up for a "professional" ceramic coat. i had a shop to PPF (suntek ultra, 10 yr warranty) on 50% of the car and then i just did a DIY ceramic on my own. i usually use griot's ceramic spray as a topper every 3 mos too. works great.
Totally agree on the ceramic coating. Super easy to do.
 
well guys, I couldn't pass this opportunity up. I traded in my car for a 2023 GT500 Track Pack in Avalanche Gray. Ford told me it's a one of one so it's truly a special car I hope you guys like it and make sure you smash that like button! take that heritage owners!
