Very cool. I like the chin spoiler. I also like the wheels! So thats a late 06, as the 18" SVT wheels were only available in the latter part of the year. You probably know this already, but Ford set up the suspension to accommodate the 18's. Looks nice! Since I got mine 4 months ago, yours is the first one I have seen with the SVT wheels too, btw.

Thanks bro, i dont know/think those are SVT wheels.. They were just the top of the line upgraded GT wheels i thought. Thats what it said on my window sticker. I was aware that they were on the later year ones, they don't have them on 05's i don't think. How you like your ride so far?

haha, **** your **** lol.. jp but yeah bro fix your exhaust leak.. I need to fix my strut mounts/ by new ones.. Hopefully ford will warranty it on tuesday... Im going in for an alignment, oil change since itll be there already and see if they will give me new strut mounts.. Something tells me they might not warranty it since i lowered it.. The thing is, there is a TSB on the problem so they better fix it.

How do I like it? I absolutely love it. Total blast, and the best handling one I have owned. As for the wheels, I was trying to include a link to tire rack, but if you go there and type in year, make, model, select "see all wheels". Its down towards the bottom. There are painted and polished. We both have the polished.

I like them. They put me in mind of the old 65-66 Shelby GT350 wheels.

Ohh i gotcha blueoval, yeah man these cars do pretty good stock.. I just lowered mine on Ford Racing Springs and damn it goes around a turn alot better...Now i just need to buy new strut mounts, the factory ones broke .. So i dont know about roush, but i have heard there are problems with factory strut mounts from 05-07.. So yeah, if your cars a 08-09 ur fine.. they fixed the problem.

haha thanks, what dont you like about them? They look sick at night, just daytime they look nothing special.. They only have white face gauges, or i could change out the whole cluster- but i'd say its not very cost effective- plus i paid for IUP.

i just dont like those deep "tunnel" gauges. i'm not too fond of the actual printing on the gauge itself, either. my mom's altima had the same style of deep gauge and i hated driving it just for that reason.

Ohh i gotcha, makes sense i guess? I don't mind them, i think they look cool but hey we all have diff opinions- otherwise it would be boring- we would all have the same looking car lol.

Yup, so i can never lock my keys in the car, its programmed.. I can open my doors or my trunk with it.. Instead of sticking it on my exterior paint n making it look gay- i hid it.. . I thought that was the best place to stash it.
