Got my new updated PPE catless downpipes installed. They updated their design and now have a new cast flange which is actually super nice. I'll have to make a post about them later. Really nice pieces.

No pics?  Geesh

I gotta tease ya for a bit ;)

gonna order both the SSM gen 4 and anthony's, gonna try both.

Why?  You are wasting your money.  I already posted the link with the direct shipped product from both parties.  It is apparent which are superior. Also you are local, you can look for yourself on my car.
 
Found a a guy that will custom paint fender badges for around 100$ shipped, just got these in the mail. I just wanted paint matched in place of chrome, look like oem parts and high quality paint etc. if anyone is interested I can pass along his info, provided that’s ok with mods of course.

Does he use your badges, or are they brand new badges?

They look like new badges! LH-RH Part numbers are different. Z

They were new badges, which worked out well as I had lost one to a carwash. He claimed three days to ship once payment was received. I think they took about a week. One correction was they were 100$ plus shipping, I paid 107$

His email was jcmansfield66@yahoo.com

ebay id is where I found him

*side note he also does custom painted front and rear emblems

 
Called the dealership to set up an appointment because this side trim piece came off and was hanging by the wires while I was driving down the freeway.

Man that sucks. Was it adhered to the top of the pillar by the little square up there, glued on maybe? Hope it didn't damage your door/s...

From what I can tell that little square piece was double side taped to a clip and if you at the picture you can see the clip is still in the hole so I guess the double side tape finally gave up. I don't see any damage on the door but I'm going to the dealership to have them look at it and order another one.

Thanks for confirming my guess, I've never seen that happen on an MKS. Weird...

I remember reading about it not too long ago but can't remember where I saw it.

Nova, the same exact thing happened on my Flex. Came off on the freeway and flapped around beating up my paint as I try to get to a stop. My double sided tape looked the same.  I don't know what your warranty situation is. If they tell you that it does not cover trim, remind them that the security pad is on it and those two can only be ordered as one piece. The Ford extended warranty covers the security system so they must cover it. It worked for me.

This morning I tapped the trim piece to the car so I didn't cause any damage to my paint. While going down the freeway I heard something and couldn't see it hanging off so I couldn't figure out what it was and when I got to the dealership this is what I saw...

Haven't been around lately.. work, moving, etc... but finally had a chance to pull the SHO out, get it cleaned, and snap a couple pictures... MAYBE get to the track in the next couple weeks before the tracks close... all the kinks in the tune are worked out now so no more 50% throttle going down the track which did net me a 12.1 last time.. so should be a solid in the 11's...

I cannot beleive Ford and other mfgrs use this crap. My Passenger side is starting to come off.

I am getting a roll of this stuff.

I think quality has taken a hit over the last decade or more since the downturn.

No emblems faded, no chrome peeling, no appliques falling off, no rust on my 2007 Edge.

I hope you do go back to the track!  You're going to be happy if you do!!!!!!!!
