And 0.030 gapped plugs, right?  Tune's been a long time coming!

Awesome ...the leap of faith has been taken...i forsee a heavy dose of perma-grin coming on. Welcome to the club, can't wait to hear the reviews from you.

Always been a fan of green, but don't know if I want to make the SHO stick out anymore.

And yes, that is a sock and sandals combo.
 
Washed the SHO yesterday finally.  Need to get a touchup paint, have a couple tiny rock chips on the hood.  Then I'll get a clear bra on it.  Does the motorcraft Ingot Silver in the pen/brush match?  I saw it on Amazon for $11 shipped but had horrible reviews for matching.

I'd like to know if it matches as well. Have you tired running without a front tag? I know a few people in cali that don't run one and haven't need bothered. It just looks so much better without one.
 
Both wife and I have been pulled over before for no front plates up here,  don't risk any more.  With my illegal tint and aggressive driving,  don't need any reason to pull me over lol.
 
I haven't had a front plate since I was 18 I think.  Lost the one on my pickup in a mud pit. Never bothered with it again.  Got bugged about it 3 times in last 12 years I think.
 
Technically it was this weekend in lieu today, but I spent about 10 hours washing, waxing, and detailing the SHO.  Went to a car show on Sunday and had a great time.  There were about 150 cars there.  Thirty of the top cars got prizes.  Unfortunately I didn't get one, but I had no expectation of one going into it.  Most of the cars that won were olders cars, which I do appreciate.  I had a few people come up to me and wanted to know more about the car.  That was fun.  No other SHO's were there which was a bummer.  I was hoping to chat with other SHO folks. I realized after the car show, it would be really hard to win an award.  Voting was done by people's choice.  Not many people know about the SHO. 
 
Ordered a set of the Megan Coil Overs today.....

And got them MUCH cheaper than advertised here, or elsewhere.

Win Win!  :dance2:

I've watched every video of a SHO with Corsa exhaust.  I'm hooked.  Definitely buying a Corsa when I tune my SHO in December.

I've done this, corsa hands down wins the exaust sound for me.

by far the best chance of matching color is dr color chip, it's expensive but worked best with my tri-coat white. to me as a person who has had gray cars, gray besides all the new tri-coats is hardest to match.

Really Cool! ...and lucky.  It appears that the fitment for the '13+ SHO won't be done until sometime after the racing season...
 
Put some Chevron Techron in my SHO for the first time today.  Got to use the funnel!  Got 23.5MPG on my last tank, not too bad!

My car stayed clean for almost 24 hours yesterday before it rained again.  Had to take a picture and update the sig.  Still look back at the SHO when I park it, love this car.

As Jeff and BiGMaC said, if you look back at the car when walking away, you know you bought the right one :)  Looking forward to your Techron experience.
