    Is there anywhere for me to pick up one of those lock picks nowadays for a backup camera? I see everyone used to use coastaletech but seems like that website is not operational anymore.

    Narrowing wheel width?

    Hey guys I just bought a new set of rims Niche Misano 20x10.5 that only came in one offset 30mm, and me not knowing much about rims figured it would be fine. However, after having he tires mounted, I saw that the tire sticks out a good inch past the fenders and in my opinion looks very weird...

    Wheel strength a factor?

    I own a '13 Shelby, and am looking for a new set of wheels, but I don't know if there is something I should be looking out for. For example, given that my car has 600whp, I didn't know if some wheels would not be able to handle the power. In that case, how would I know? I am on a tight...

    Question for those with drag radials

    If I throw NT555r's on the rear wheels, should I be putting them on the front too? I planned on having summer tires up front for better hydroplane resistance, but the man at the tire dealership was telling me that it's gonna mess with the handling of the car having two different tires. For...

    Do wheels for drag racing need to be stronger than average?

    I was looking around and I am able to find a bunch of wheels under 300 a piece which is a decent price for my budget, but I wasn't sure if there are certain characteristics I should be looking for if I wanted to put either a drag radial or slick on it. Does it need to be stronger than average...

    I'm changing the color of my stripes, anyone know if the Shelby lettering can be taken off with, say, a blow dryer, and then heated up and reapplied when I finish? Or will I need to buy a new set of letters?

    Stainless works fitment question

    How difficult to install SW on ramps

    So I ordered myself a SW catback exhaust and it is set to ship tomorrow. I plan on installing it myself and from what I hear, without a lift it can be a real pain in the butt.

    question on tuning

    so i was just informed that buying a tuner from Bama for a shelby does not qualify for free tunes for life the way the mustangs do…….he told me it is 100$ for EACH tune i need after the original 2 pre-programmed tunes.

    What is the value of stock 2013 wheels

    I'm looking to buy new rims and therefore I will probably sell the stock ones.....how much money do you think I can get for the rims (and probably the tires since there are only ~4500 miles on them)? There are 2 or 3 scratches so they're not in immaculate condition but they are still good
