I love working on the SHO! Wish I had more cash to do so.
What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Reason # 411 for staying out of the Chi-town area!
I just spent the last week off and on detailing my SHO. Exterior - wash, clay bar, polished, and 3 coats of wax. Interior - vacuumed and leather treatment. Wheels - removed, washed inside and out, 3 coats of wax, installed tire treatment, and re-installed. Misc. - cleaned and detailed the engine bay and wheel wells. I have it in the garage stored now for the winter. Let's hope winter ends quick as I am itching to take it out and show it off.

Taking off front plate and ordering bumper plugs tonight. I have the tint for my headlights and rear reflectors but, I'm gonna hold off until we have steady lows of 32+. Might be a while!

LOL Yeah, my car is thawing out in the garage now with the door to the house open. Have to sneak it in there when I can!
It's supposed to be up to 26 xmas day. I hope to get a spray wash anyway. It was -1 last time I looked.

Kids gave me a couple of things...
I converted all interior and exterior lights (including trunk and glovebox) to LED... except front sides and turn signals .... front side-markers and switchbacks for front turns next along with an under-hood light projecting "SHO" on to the heat blanket of the hood when open. Tomorrow I'll put the Laminex tint on the heads and tails..... Pics TF
Johng... Enter your ride. easy! It's sweet!

Nice! I can't wait to see your projection! Good luck with the tint. I was going to get my headlights done but I'm afraid of what below freezing temps would do to it. Might have to wait until Spring for that.
I'm with you there as far as temp and adhesion... but here it will be 72o tomorrow.
The inside is really sexy with the new LEDs. Used 6000K interior so they are the same as the barely blue ambient lighting I like, but still brighter. :coolgleam:
Studying videos on install for Lamin-X... :read: a little nervous, one of those "you only get one shot" deals and they need to be symmetrical... especially in back. :icon_exclaim:
Oh yea, one thing I learned on the license plate LED lights... :smartass: the power strip is uninsulated and all the way across the light pockets with a 2mm break between + and -. The LEDs are metal and larger diameter than the stock bulbs..... So it is EASY to short the circuit across the LED bulb body. I blew fuse #40 under the dash when I installed first time (so tails also were out.).... I had to redo it and added some foam tape over the back of the bulbs..small thing, but a PIA due to crawling under the dash. Didn't hurt the LEDs though.
