Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My Name is Joe and I live in Pittsburgh Pa. Though I am new to this forum, I have been a happy owner of my 2020 black ST since Oct 2019. Since then, the great experience of having my ST, has only gotten better.
Real quick, I owned a 1995 Cobra Mustang for 9 years. I like to hold on to my cars but I also find the need to "reinvent" my cars to keep things fresh. By reinventing I mostly mean keeping the appearance looking fresh and performance modifications. I did that with the Cobra.
Procharger, K&N's, Flow Master, Etc.
Then came the kids, and a 2012 Ford Explorer Limited. Had it for 8 years and 110k miles. And not one modification. When I truly thought the gearhead in me was gone, here cames this BADASS of an SUV. After about a year and a half, seeing people online sharing the same excitement and the OEM market providing upgrades, the gear head was back!
I guess I started with appearance. even before I picked the car up. I asked for flaps, mats, and most of all protective film. I highly recommend the protective clear film for the front bumper and hood. Its a must. Then I did some subtle matting. Matting ideas that I came up with, and some that I liked from others. I have it where the the car has a distinctive personalization with taste. More pictures will be coming out to show what I mean.
With close to 20k miles, its time for some performance upgrades. I did start with K&N filters and a plug in play chip. But now I very excited!
Yesterday I spoke to Ron @ Whoosh, and as I was typing just a couple minutes ago, I got a text that my Thermal R&D Exhaust is on the way!! So I'm Stoked right now. I plan to have them on in a week so I will post pictures when that happens.
Still wavering about lowering springs though. Was reading on this forum that a guy's tire rubs from time to time. (Is this common or did this guy put them on wrong? Please let me know)
So I look forward to sharing my ride with you people and learning from your experiences as well
Thank you
