Looking more closely at yours now though looks to be the metallic flake added to the paint. Not too sure if this is normal with the iconic silver or something like overspray.

First of many little paint nuances that you'll notice. Mine has noticeable orange peel and had swirls throughout the entire body. Paint is extremely thin so detailer wont touch the orange peel and swirls were buffed out without issue. My suggestion would be to take it to a good detailer in the...

Any drone at any speeds with the Thermal?

I have been looking at Thermal R&D as well since it includes their own mesh flex pipes. The factory ones have a noticeable rattle that Ford is replacing once off back order but I highly doubt it will resolve the issue.

Detailer said they won't touch orange peel. Also, got some pricing for ceramic coating along with services outlined included. Anyone here think the pricing is worth it? ST is mostly garage kept, black paint and in FL.

It won't show up in pictures no matter what angle I tried taking them. Definitely noticeable in person though. Also, afraid of how thin the paint is as well. I'm taking it to a detailer that has nothin but 100+ 5 star reviews down the road to get their opinion. I know they have tools that can...

A little late to this thread but noticed a lot of orange peel on my ST. Would this be covered by Ford's manufacturer warranty? If so, would you trust a dealership correcting the issue or just drop a few hundred to have a professional detailer take care of the issue?

Appreciate the recommendations. Also, Spotify has a whole bunch of setting within the app that I have been playing around with. If anyone use Spotify what do you recommend? I listen to pretty much all genres and looking for the cleanest sound with slightly more bass.

Need recommendations here and I'm sure there may be good threads already out there. If so, send me those links. I am wanting to set the equalizer to optimize sound for the factory speakers. I have reset the factory setting regarding the treble, mids, bass, pitch and fade and switched to surround...

Same here the pros definitely outweigh the cons. I knew what I was potentially getting myself into purchasing a the first year of a model redesign. What did they do to fix your liftgate, transmission and rough idle issue?

Ouch and I thought I had it bad. Too bad I bought used and lemon laws do not apply.

Where did you get the black ST overlays?

I'm going to keep an eye on it over the next several days to see if it happens again. I was literally parked for a few minutes when it went off. Just one more potential issue along with a laundry list of other I've experienced. - Cats replaced - Flex pipes being replaced (back ordered) -...

I had the vehicle in park after driving about 15 miles in a parking lot when a "4WD Fault Service Required" notification popped up on my dash. Took a picture, clicked okay, turned the vehicle off and back on again. Drove another 15 miles back home and never noticed anything nor saw the...

Quickest 1,400 mile road trip of my life in the fast lane the entire time :LOL:. Averaged 24/25 mpg at 80-85 mph the entire way. 9/10 move out of your way!

Definitely a vehicle by vehicle basis and subjective opinion. You pay for the performance of the ST and not the interior "luxuries." A lot of plastic, creaks and small nuance mis-fitment. I went from a luxury SUV that was way more refined from a interior perspective and it drove me a little nuts...

What's the function of the cover? Or, is it just for aesthetic purposes?

Do the flex pipes rattle at all?

Thinking about purchasing the entire Thermal cat back exhaust that includes the flex pipes. This looks to be the one of the few true cat back exhaust systems out there compared to Borla, MBRP, etc. Do you know if the sound is more on the low growl spectrum? Don't want the investment to sound...

Ford is in the process of replacing my flex pipes and they are currently on back order. Wondering if I should wait for those to be replaced before I have the exhaust installed. Would hate to take it in after I install and then Ford say they will not honor the warranty for the flex pipes.
