Wow, I love the new pictures! The black and white one is really neat with the Perf White color! I also agree that the 18" appear to fill the wheel well much better. I look forward to seeing what you do next!

Kristina, did you drop it already? I'm pretty sure you didn't but those pics sure look like it. Its amazing how the 18's really seem to fill the gap even though they are no bigger overall than the 17's + tires in overall diameter. I think the larger rim + the rim offset bringing it a bit farther out accomplishes this.
BTW, great pics! Very professional looking
Oh, whatayamean the ONLY fanblades in your region
That's it, I'm driving around your neighbourhood all weekend. But like pete said, you got them with the car which is so much easier than what I went through

That's it, I'm driving around your neighbourhood all weekend. But like pete said, you got them with the car which is so much easier than what I went through By the region, I mean the Ford region that my dealer is in - it was allocated ONE set of fanblades and thanks to the hard work of my dealer with the Ford rep, my car was given that one coveted set.
These fanblades are SUPER hard to come by from what I can gather...Ford Canada is pretty tight on allocation of them I guess so while I know the way you got yours was a hard/roundabout method, getting them on a factory order seems to be almost as tough! So don't worry, you won't be seeing many of them around our parts regardless. My general sales manager was saying my car order was just about as hard as they come: GT, manual, fanblades etc....but I love it that way!!

Hey! Nope, no drop yet, but that's the next thing on the list - I've been pricing out some options so once I get the numbers in, I'll take it from there...but I agree, the 18s definately make the car less of a 4x4

I'm glad you're enjoying your new car and Zaino her up pronto 
The combo will be very unique. White is relatively rare.....combine that with spoiler delete and fanblades and you have one of a kind. I look forward to seeing it sometime!And don't be afraid to drive her a lot. Remember, you need to get through the "break-in" period (at least that will be the excuse for this month's gas bill)
