I have the stock chrome badges but they're PlastiDipped black. The dip is starting to wear away, so I'm gonna just take them off and install the new badges
Know what you mean. The badges on my 2011 GT were wearing away after a year and it was a garage queen. My trick to get them off is fishing line. Get a length long enough to wrap around each hand a few times and leave about a foot of slack in between your hands. Use it like you would piano wire to remove a windshield.

this video does a good job.

It's like watching the national geo channel. "ssssssh, what we have here folks is the rare Dodo bird. Most of its kind is extinct but finding one in its natural habitat is a once in a lifetime find!!!"

The info about the Roush cars VIN's remaining as whatever base model they started life as. That makes it an even bigger uphill battle if one elects to work a trade with a dealer.

I remember them, have seen a couple. Dealer had one in the showroom next to my 500 when I bought it. They were a limited production model.


*Edit. apparently they made 150 (or less) of them.

Thanks all. My car can't compare with some of the gorgeous modded cars on here, but I try to keep it looking good.

Kidding man, happy Easter.

Mine's actually Red Candy (just a slightly nicer shade than Ruby Red ), Kona's a great color too.


Happy Easter all.

Lots of pics incoming.

Had a day to wash and polish her, also detailed interior. Paint is once again swirl-free (the SUN doesn't lie) Post polish, she was covered in Blackfire Sealant, then Victoria Red Concours. My favorite pics today were actually of the shift ****, my Defi boost gauge, then my Koni's/Niche's. Shots were taken with my Nikon D60, using my favorite 50mm lens.

Happy Easter and enjoy.

I like it! The front spoiler looks like it belongs on the car. Was there cutting involved? Or does it just go over the factory lip?

I figured that would get a rise out of you. My first hand me down car...a 1968 Ford Ranch Wagon was very close to Kona blue. Fond memories of that old clunker. Teenage boys should bot be trusted with their dates in station wagons...just sayin..a word to the wise for all you parents of sweet little innocent teenage girls.
