At least op will not lost the sight of the car in the parking lot

Braces · 03-09-2015, 04:15 PM

I actually like the yellow .... just not the price.

Congrats. Great looking car.

I asked the dealer if I could buy the wing assembly from their parts department. (Wing and fender winglets). Said I couldn't...

Welcome aboard. See link from Tcoat.

it actually looks like the dealer forgot to remove the front spring spacers from the car. They add that to avoid hitting the lip when customers test drive the car. OP needs to ask them to remove them...

Honestly...i'm glad they only sell the parts from the RS1 by VIN. It makes the car ACTUALLY limited edition know what I mean?

You need a vin number to buy any of the R.S. parts. Can probably find knock off at a fraction of the price (the real stuff is expensive) if you search hard enough though.

Congrats and enjoy..... Good looking package

Windows are not tinted. That is first on my list. Wheels is second and I will look around the forum to see were the best place to look for wheels is. I have always been a Mustang owner and lowered each car but had to purchase the lowering kit. I know this car came with TRD lowering springs and I don't know enough about this car yet if I can lower with the springs that are already on or if I need to purchase something else. I agree the front needs to be lowered.

Right now just window tint (not a mod) and lowering the car just a tad. Eventually change the wheels. I will need to read what other members have done as far as staggering or going wider. This car is a learning process for me as I have never owned one. It sure is fun to drive too.

I will call and ask about the spring spacers. The back sits fine but the front seems high to me.

Read a lot and research carefully. Look into axle failures as a result of lowering. Also read up on increased understeer with staggered sizes. I am not advising you of what to do or not to do just hoping you will make informed decisions so you have no regrets (and wasted $$$$).

Thanks for the heads up. I will do a lot of reading before I make any decision. I have plenty of time and in no rush to change anything right now.
