Thanks- btw, I get a lot of compliments on the stripe install you did on my '14. Lots of questions about whether they are factory, the look stock, etc. When we bought my wife's F150, the sales guys commented adding stripes like that would probably move cars quicker through the dealership.

Car looks great! I never thought about leveling the car. Do you happen to know what your stock wheel gap measured? Or how much drop the new springs gave you? Is everything else stock, ie. PHB, shocks, etc?
The first thing I saw were the stripes. I dig'em.

Thanks- everything else suspension-wise is stock, and the P Springs dropped the rear by 1.25" (although filling the tank brought the rear down almost another 0.25"). The rear is now 0.125" lower than the front with a full tank.

Thanks for the comments on the stripes- got em from Big Worm Graphics, and I get tons of comments on those (most asking if they came as part of a factory package).

This week, I'm adding the Roush chin spoiler and side splitters, as well as some LCAs (to hopefully eliminate the remaining wheel hop).

The only other things I've changed so far is the mufflers are GT500s, a Ford Racing tune, the stripes, heat extractors with flat black inserts, light blue covers on the engine, and Red Line hood struts.

The other things I have in mind are the Boss quad side-exhaust kit, a Ford Racing short-throw and bracket, and perhaps the Cervini Stalker Hood. Here's the stripes with the hood showing...


Oh, I also recently finally got sick enough of that stupid chrome circle on the back deck and plasti-dipped the fake gas cap (I didn't plasti-dip any of the shiny black deck, it just looks like the right side is due to the reflection of a cabinet in the garage).
