The new stance

[bumplime]

Ive yet to read anything solid so forgive me if its already been discussed.
In all of the videos it appears that Ford has fixed the 4x4 rear end look. Does anyone know what they did to achieve this? Are they using a "lowering" spring or did they address it through all of the suspension? Either way it looks much better than previous model years.

Not Sure what they did but mine looks pretty good.

Did scrape my sPlitter on the bottom yesterday

from what I understand the cars have the same stance as the SVTPP cars did from '10-12

do you have the complete splitter on? is it removable, from Ive heard its like 3 seperate pieces. Maybe you wanna keep one on for street driving and put the others on for shows or tracking? :shrug:

You're the 10th to ask. Pictures today.

I would guess it's the painted side skirts and lower part of the rear bumper that makes it appear that it sits lower. Just your eyes playing tricks on you...

Wheel gap

Wheel gap

Exactly what I'm seeing. There appears to be less gap than precious years

I've got a couple front splitter pics..not the best, but they're better than nothing (i hope)

The first time always hurts your heart the worst.

I can't imagine the bottom splitters are to expensive to replace if they get heavily damaged. I hope someone makes a true carbon fiber bolt on splitter.

I got out of the car, no shoes and all, and cursed.
Made me fit right in with everyone else in Garrett....

LOL! been there with the scrapes, thank god its only plastic! thanx for the photos again! :beer:

random question, can you manually control those new led lights on the head lights?

I saw some pics awhile back where it looked really cool with the just the HID lights sort of illuminated and nothing else. I thought it looked like the eyes of a terminator

 

[72MachOne99GT]

Yes actually, and it looks ridiculous with just the parking lights on (yellow markers and LED bars only).

I the garage Pic above is actually that, but in the dark it's too bright shooting into the LEDs.

This car (body lines/lighting) looks best in my opinion just as it's starting to get dark.

Still looks pretty off road capable to me from most pictures of it sitting still:shrug:

glad you like it, cause im torn on the whole LED thing, I just think it should have stayed with the euro cars but oh well, i guess the market demanded it. Are the fogs HID like the headlights as well? I know on the new GTs they used an HID fog which is pretty cool, I dont know any other cars like that but looking at just the lense on your car, it looks the same as the pre 13 cars.

Anyway, Im sure you must be tired of answering such nit picky questions and just want to drive it! haha

If you drive the car it's going to happen. Good think SVT made it 3 pieces so you can replace them individually.

 

[72MachOne99GT]

Ea, it's not going to be mint forever.

I love the LEDs

I was reading through the owners manual and they indicated that the bottom pieces are easily owner removable with basic tools so they can be replaced or left off if desired
