Why not pay a professional? The guy that bought an 06 I had sent someone who was unbelievably thorough, he spent the entire day poring over the car and took about 1500 paint thickness measurements. A friend's inspection can be great (thanks Indy, thanks Terry!) But is it worth being cheapo on a...

For what it's worth,my old McLaren headlights crapped out. New units were going to be $4500, but the dealer carefully unglued all the bits, repaired/rebuilt as necessary and reassembled for less than half that price. The final product was indistinguishable from new.

52k and counting. Would be more if we'd had more rallies!

Been doing mine like that for years, no problem, even though I also have the plug through the grille too. Cig ,ighter just more convenient ient

Ditto! Maybe a late '24 delivery so that will be a nice round 5 year wait. Also being told 15 month wait on a new Rangerover.....

My local PPF installer stopped doing it on the new GTs because the glass cracks so easily. He did mine no problem but bust two others

I had an ERA for years with a 427FE. Visually, the ERA is an exact copy of the real thing and this gives plusses and minuses. They are beautiful quality and the newer ones use bespoke suspension (older cars had e.g. jag suspension). Legroom is a problem if you are tall. Most of the other fakes...

I think the compressor power supply has a breaker? When I ran mine in the Big Bend road Race a few years ago the A/C stopped blowing cold halfway through the race. I had to disconnect the battery for some reason and when I reconnected it everything was back to normal. It's worth a try!l

That is a crazy price: I had my 2019 GT full-wrapped including clearplex on the windshield for $6K, and got a full wrap on my 2020 GT500 for $6K including a black vinyl roof

I use the b post method every time. As far as balancing, weirdly the rears seem more sensitive than the front. I always use a road force balance machine. Think I'm on my seventh or eighth set of rears, third set of fronts, and no issues jacking way high via the b post lift point

When I sold my 1100 miles totally unmolested black/silver car,the purchasing inspector took literally thousands of paint thickness readings. They were all over the place. At least as far as GTs go, wide variations in thickness is no indicator of rework, just reflective of the factory process.

Had a Saab when we lived in Oslo. Funky cars with the ignition key between the seats. Great in the snow!

My car has 62K+ miles and is chipped up to hell, plus side scoops are sand blasted down to the plastic on the leading edges. No PPF on my car, I will do what Ajai did at some point - send it for a full refresh. However, like wrinkles on a face, the blemishes are a sign of a life well-lived!

How far into his cheek was DBKs tongue when he renamed this part of the forum?

FYI, put a new battery in my 06 last week (again!). Tried to buy an Optima unit from Jegs and Summit but they're on back order at both places. Eventually found a genuine Ford unit in stock here in Houston, but it cost $450 instead of $270! That Ford label must be made of gold or platinum!

I'll always remember sitting at an outdoor Cafe in Paris after the race and hearing that the officials were progressively DQ'ing the GTs, including of course Ben's GTD winner, totally bummed us all out and made me realize how political it all is.

Don't know about BJ, but I've found auction commissions are always negotiable, 5% easily attainable

Drive it, plus perform the 55k service

Likelihood of this sort of noise increases a lot if you've fitted aero screens, that trap an amazing amount of crap in the belly pans causing all kinds of rattles. I took mine off after a few weeks because I got tired of having to constantly 'de-rock' the car

Wasn't he at Le Man's one year, maybe 2017? I recall him driving a yellow New GT and hanging out in the Ford hospitality suite?
