Where'd you get the LED bezels?
They look awesome!

I believe they were from Ali Express? I did look, can't seem to find them now.

Did a mini-tune up, I'm only at 55,000 miles, but Foxy is nearly 8:

Changed spark plugs:

Here's what I found as far as procedure for replacing plugs:
  1. Make sure you blow out or vacuum around the coils before removing them to prevent debris from entering plug holes.
  2. Check the gaps. Although mine were fine out of the box, it's worth checking, every time.
  3. If you're careful, you do not need to pull the wiper cowling.
  4. You can carefully insert the socket in most of the way into the plug hole, then attach an extension and make it work, both for removal and insertion.
  5. Be very gentle torqueing the plugs, particularly if you're using anti-seize. 16 ft-lbs
  6. Wear gloves. Though I was able to avoid removing the cowl, I beat the snot out of my knuckles.
Drain and filled coolant:Oil Changed:Used on both:

How have the spray painted trim pieces held up? Love how your car turned out.

Thank you!

They've held up very well minus the bits that get direct sunlight (IE right under windshield) since the rest of the car is tinted and parked inside. In the areas that have gotten sunlight, the cherry red is now more of a darker orange. A good clear will take a bit of abuse as well.

Thanks for the link.
I've decided against them as I really dislike the hassle of removing the front bumper.
For now, the stock fogs will suffice.

Glad to see folks are still buying coupe's.
Now for the ultimate question, did you order it with auto or manual?

Ecoboost no longer has the option for a manual sadly.

That said, the intent of the car is to be car for long road trips and sight seeing.

These days, the performance of the auto is nothing short of remarkable.
I'm sure you'll love it!
