Big brake upgrade with SS brake lines installed
SWEET!  Details?
HD brakes from 13+ parts, fomoco calipers and brackets, power stop Z23 rotors and pads, Goodrich SS brake lines. Painted with VHT caliper paint- primer, red, clear.
Easy upgrade, direct bolt on and went fairly easily. Had one issue with a brake line flare being a bit too smooshed, but finally got it into the new line.
Still have to go out and break them in properly, but should be better than stock on my Flex. Rear caliper was hung up, bad, plus those stock rotors on rear are not vented. New ones are.

Looks awesome! You planning on upgrading the booster too? I can't see the signature but I am assuming you have a 2010-2012?

2011 Flex EB
No plans on booster at this time, maybe later, but unlikely...
 
And those are my winters on still... Even though we are having an unseasonably warm weekend for Feb in Michigan. The finish is getting bad on them. Might have to blast them and coat them this summer for next winter...

Is the scratch through the clear? I have a couple clearcoat scratches from the PO that I will be fixing this spring with some careful wet sanding and some rubbing compound.

Sucks man. I wish I had a picture from when my wife cut the wheel too hard after checking the mail in my F150 SCrew... LOL. I had a scratch down to primer from the center of the drivers door which carried to 75% the length of the bed. From that point forward, I didn't mind parking next to cart returns at the grocery store.

I'm hoping she got her "practice" out of the way. :P
 
The Manivan is alive again!!!  New used engine worked out perfect. Although it's completely stock again. But have 24mos warranty on it.  But damn does it feel good to be driving it again.

Went to the local Ford dealer today to get her appraised. Got almost what I was looking for. Gonna see what I can get from another dealer who's offering 130% of KBB then take that back to the original dealer (looking at trading in for a 2017 Focus RS2 the dealer I want doesn't have any  >:(). Salesman couldn't stop gawking over her and told me how beautiful she was, especially for the miles. I might have turned a little red  :-[
 
I noticed one of my reverse backup lights were out and ordered a set of Phillips 6000k led bulbs from www.rockauto.com and overall great quality bulbs for 7.86 ea.
I found it ideal using a slight angle pliers along with a flat head to remove the six plastic fasteners with ease but you need to make sure there installed correctly. Z  :)
