What Have You Done To Your S550 Today?

It does appear to me that it is the adaptive cruise control sensor. It needs an unobstructed view of the front. Some grill delete kits that I've seen are not compatible with that sensor in place, either.

I downloaded the manual and it shows the adaptive cruise and collision warning being the large box sensor on drivers side. Not saying it isn't tied in. If you have adoptive cruise, you get the base lower grille. The large box is covered by a piece of plastic, but it appears the reason the grille doesn't work is due to the size of that module. The normal premium grille would hit. I will attach some pics from the manual.

Oh cool, great find! What the URL to download the manual? Thanks!

This is for your 15 I downloaded a 16 manual too, basically the same stuff. The 10 page section on towing is just dumb.

Shadow now has a full 1 7/8" ARH Pure Thunder exhaust, is tuned for e85 and pulled 457/399 at the wheels at 93F ambient temperature.

I picked up Shadow from Pro Dyno (performance shop in Fort Mill, SC) yesterday... the headers are installed and she's tuned and is perfect! The hp and tq are amazing and she sounds so good!

All season tires, racing stripes, removable license plate bracket and vanity plate.

Got my honeycomb mesh grille attached to my oem plastics. Even made something to work with the active cruise, lower grille. Carbon fiber knob from ford installed, found step 1 very funny.

Did a diy grille delete, couldn't see paying for a high dollar or popular version. Plus I have that pita adaptive cruise control. Speaking of that does anyone know what this part is on lower grille passenger side?

So I found out this is the ambient air temp gauge.
Added race axle backs, until I get a quality catback

I added a GT350 style front end to my '15 GT this past week. I like it. Nice subtle change. (Overlook the garbage in the background) LOL.

I bought Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires today. They'll go with me to Carolina Motorsports Park on 12/1 for an HPDE, so I'll see how they hold up.

I installed BMR alignment bolts and got the tires aligned. -1.9 degrees camber is not possible with the stock suspension setup...

G-LOC R16 front brake pads and new front rotors arrived yesterday.

I head to Carolina Motorsports Park next Saturday!

I have a battery tender (actual brand name) hooked to mine also, but I also have a cover on mine. I also put a bowl full of moth balls in the trunk and another one on the passenger floor to keep the critters at bay.

Yep, she's got a battery tender on her. I use dryer sheets to keep the mice out. (That moth ball smell takes too long to get rid of for my liking)

I probably should get a car cover for her... Someday..

Needs new tires, so im not terribly worried about flat spots.

It will be good until the end of march when it's time to go on a springbreak trip. (Just need to figure out where to go!!)

The mothball smell doesn't hang around long when you have a convertible. I don't plan on pulling mine out of storage until late April/early May

I'm new to the forum but I have a 2019 GT, PP2, 401A Orange Fury will all the options except for the Recaros...wanted the cooled and heated seats! I also had Lebanon Ford throw a few extras at it; Roush supercharger, Oil pump gears, Barton shifter, Eco-boost boost gauges, Roush X-Pipe, G-Force drive shaft, G-Force half-shafts. I trailered it to a shop near Lebanon and added the full XPEL package and Ceramic Pro. Then I trailered it back to Florida and arrived on a Saturday evening...Monday morning I swapped the Cup 2s for same size 4S and installed snap on splash guards.

I LOVE the car but about 500 miles I swapped out the clutch spring for the Steeda version GREAT improvement. I now have just over 1500 miles and still love it. Power is crazy yet car is docile and I get 26 mpg at 60 mph when driven that way. Yes it does a bit of tramlining but nothing I really object to. In my part of NW Florida I haven't seen another PPL2 much less an Orange Fury car.

I am looking for suggestions on an oil separator for my car. Can't find anyone advertising one for 2019 and a Roush. Thanks.

Wow, that's terrific! What an impressive car and I'm amazed at how much you've done to it in such a short time! Well done! @jmorris47
