    FML (Easter Edition)

    Thanks for the replies and consolation folks. Appraisal for repairs topped $4000 and it goes in the shop 4/27. In regard to upgrades, Geico is issuing a two-party check to myself and to the body shop. I'm guessing that the replacement parts have to be chosen by the shop doing the work? The...

    To Install or Not to Install?

    New Shoes & Wheels (pic)

    No, they're more similar to a Foose Nitrous than the factory Bullitt. There's kind of a crease in the middle of each spoke.

    Sent wrong tires sizes

    Of course, I didn't realize this until 3-4 weeks after the fact. I ordered (4) Nitto 555 275/40/18's and discovered yesterday that one of the rear tires is actually 285/40/18. It took a MONTH for Cruzin Concepts to even send them, so I almost don't even want to bother with them again. Plus, it...

    Eibach Pro-Kit.. no rubbing yet, but then again I haven't tried corner carving over 40+ MPH yet either. As far as normal driving and average bumps in the road, no rubbing issues in the front or rear.

    Gear Install (West TX/NM)

    Anyone in West Texas or even Albuquerque, NM know of a reputable, qualified shop to do a gear swap? The Ford dealership(s) here won't install an aftermarket set of gears, even their own FRPP. They did humor me with a quote of $750-900 for labor which was scoff inducing. Can anyone in the area help?

    Thoughts on this tire/wheels combo?
