I like that it folds and it firs perfect

i think is the same fit as the C-Max under tray, if so its probably this one. based on reviews though, the holes do not exactly line up, but for 50$ thats not really a deal breaker for most

I just happened to figure out what car the RS badge is from! I was watching a YouTube video and saw a Porsche GT3 RS with the decal on the side and realized the RS font was similar. So I Google "Porsche RS badge" and found out the badge is from a late 90s Porsche 911 Carrera RS. Here's the same badge on Amazon

Touch up direct matched the mm paint on my st perfectly although to get nearly unnoticeable results is going to take quite a bit of work.

If the chip is down to the bare metal you are probably going to want to get the full kit that includes the primer and clear coat.

First prep the surface by cleaning and wiping with alcohol and if bare metal is showing use primer frist, let dry, then base coat, let dry, then follow up with clear. To get the best results that are nearly unnoticeable you are then gonna want to wet sand the area then buff and polish.

The stock lug nuts are problematic. They have some kind of shell on them that seems to deform (or that's was my experience/guess) and cause all kinds of issues, especially if they are over torqued. I replaced mine with gorilla lug nuts (should be the link below, double check the specs tho) and haven't looked back. Also, if you try to replace the OEM with OEM, they are ridiculously expensive.

I have never used these. A friend recc'd them Incase I needed to. Appearently some race teams uses them buy unsure about this.

I’ve had some good success with adding a few layers of spray plasti dip and then painting over with this stuff which is a pretty damn close match to the wheel paint.

I put a sub-in-box in the cargo part of the hatch. 500w RMS JBL subwoofer. I used a line in converter on the four wires to the subwoofer and sent that input to the amplifier, this let me control the bass without running a knob to the front. I found a wiring diagram for the subwoofer that someone had posted in a forum post. It made a WORLD of difference without being overpowering. The stock subwoofer sucks ass if I'm being honest

I have this and it's been great. I've stuck it on the passenger side just under the cd slot...it's solid and does the job. 👍 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MFV5RBD/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_110TVZKZ8K2T7A4ARQHB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I bought these in May 2021 for my cornering lights. I had to make the slightest modification for it to fit perfectly. Like clipping a little plastic tab where it was rubbing if I remember correctly. But the connection is a direct fit to factory.

Bro I got you. These are cheap, good quality and they’re good for the side airbags. I have them on both my front seats https://www.chewy.com/barksbar-front-seat-cover/dp/181122?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=BarksBar&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1cKB6aPD9AIVRnxvBB0g_wq9EAQYAyABEgLmP_D_BwE

I found https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-248914-Spray-Paint-15-Ounce/dp/B003CT49B2 to be very good on a recent project. It's tough enough to withstand the abuses of a home door threshold, has a great look to it, and dries amazingly fast.

Sanitized link so the trackers can't get you as easily

Protip, you can delete the "ref=" part of the link and everything after it to mess up the trackers that use it.

Something like this Rockford Fosgate

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FN75M1V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_9VZ8KDA41MKKJXRB2A1K I just say get something with a built in amp it’s a really easy install just needs power and to tap into the original subwoofer plug

I have this currently and it sound good lots of bass https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DNT4YBA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2KXDR2RRAQMYKHVDRK57?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I had them on my Focus ST before it was totaled out. You can get them on Amazon with prime shipping for 30 bucks. Here's a link:

I had a similar problem in my car. I changed the cabin air filter but that didn't help. I tried an odor eliminator that I had good luck with before, and that seemed to do the trick. https://www.amazon.com/Auto-Shocker-ClO2-interior-eliminator/dp/B001H8VLFC I never did find the source of the smell, but it's been months and the smell hasn't come back.

Here's the link to Amazon. 12 quarts (2 changes worth) for $105 https://www.amazon.com/5w50-Motorcraft-XO-5w50-QGT-Synthetic-Motor/dp/B00MWCROVW/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=motorcraft+5w-50&qid=1550087108&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull

I got a thing on amazon for mine so they don't effectively take up any room during the off season.

One of the first things I bought when I got mine was a burrito for the back seat. Actually I'm not sure why we call it a burrito but my wife has one for her car, and I have one for mine. Protects the seat, and the door panels (a bit). Haven't tested it but its supposed to be waterproof too.

The Bluetooth one I bought from Amazon was $12 and works perfectly with the Torque app. Shows me everything that my car will give. So $17, since the app is $5.

Occasionally I have to unplug the scanner for a few seconds and plug it back in if it won't connect, but I believe that's only when I kill the torque app on my phone so I'm blaming the app for that one.

I had a good experience with Touch Up Direct when I needed touch up paint for my mm st.

And one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YZXV8U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_aiFDFbTQ3VYEA makes it easy to fill in the chips without making big ugly blobs.

I was in the same shoes as you recently.. couldn’t find the highly recommended mounts like the LL in stock.

That being said I ran no plate for two years and only got a warning once. I prefer no plate look and I’ll probably remove it once track/autocross season starts. Will run the front plate in the winter only.

if you're good with vinyl you can wrap your tail lights, $20 on amazon; https://www.amazon.com/VViViD-Air-Tint-Headlight-Transparent-Self-Adhesive/dp/B01M1KRMQZ.

turns them dark cherry instead of lipstick red.

No problem! Pretty much my entire time owning the car I've been trying to find the best tool to clean the wheels. Adams wheel brush has been my main tool so far, able to fit through the gaps in the alloy wheels and you can fit it behind the rear rotors to clean the inside of the wheel. I use the WollyWormit for everything else

I tried a magnetic mount, but since my phone has wireless charging, I had to position the metal plate at the very bottom of the phone. This didn't offer much stability, especially taking corners.

I use this one now and it works really well. I attached the clamp at the edge of the vent so it's braced against the dash, and that does a good job of preventing it from flopping around.
