What did you do to your '10-'14 today?

Anyway, like I was saying I was relieved at how easy it was to wax and get a good look with Meguiar's Liquid wax and my Porter Coleman (?) buffer. The concern was that Meguiar's polish has to be applied lightly and removed quickly or you can get into real trouble. This time I just followed the directions on the bottle and ... here we are:
I still have less than 9,000 miles on it and I imagine it will have under 10,000 when I sell it in a year or two.

They sound great Jay. Sometimes I wish my GT500's were louder, especially at cruising speeds with the top down. But friends who drive behind me say they can hear them very well. I'm satisfied with the sound in 2nd and 3rd.
Maybe I'll consider a swap in the future, but the next big mod will be different wheels and a square set of 275/40/19's. Not this year though.
You did good.

My next and probably one of my last major mods will be wheels... I keep looking for a good deal on Craigslist here, but nothing so far... I'm not in a hurry, but I am hoping I can find a set either this year or next...

It cost me over $200 to try the S-Types out for about 2 months
I loved the sound but after the supercharger install they got way too loud.
And I've freed up the exhaust even more since then so they'd be even louder now

I wish I had the spare cash to find out, but after my expensive Borla experiment, I can't afford to keep trying out different exhaust set-ups.

I'd been dead set against all chrome for a long time, but lately I've seen black S197's with them and I'm starting to like the contrast. Ideally I'd prefer a bright silver center and barrel with a chrome or highly polished lip.
LMR has several types but they have rivets which don't appeal to me. I want to stay with 19" because I don't have Brembos so my calipers will look disproportionate with 20".
Just gotta keep looking. What is your preference?

I like my Boss 302 wheels but it's time for something else. I don't want black or dark gray, so that leaves silver or chrome or the combo of the two.

No offense, but I would never opt for black wheels on my car.. Although they look great, the problem is once they become stone chipped, they'll stick out like a sore thumb regardless of whether their flat black or not..
I were ever to put black wheels on my car, I'd make certain to have them powder coated first..

I have a black car, black wheels are the least of my worries when it comes to chips... Again, I don't drive mine a lot, so it doesn't bother me. Plus, I really don't like chrome rims (they can look good on some cars, as some of the guys here have them and they look good). I just am not a fan personally. So that leaves me with black or grey, which is fine, since that's what I like! I really don't have a preference between black or grey (as long as the style looks good), so it basically comes to what I end up finding that I like...
As for chrome wheels, I recently made the switch from my bulliit style wheels to the Steeda Spyder wheels that are black with machined face and lip..
My reason for making the switch.. Although I like the look of chrome wheels, they also chip and you also notice how bad they pit as well..
Being that I DD my 06 GT during the spring/summer and early fall, I wanted something different that will hopefully not show stone chips as much as chrome and an all black wheel would.. Guess only time will tell

Added the RTR rear deck panel and got my new plates installed. Just waiting on a semi gloss black "ROUSH" decal that I might put centered across the rear panel similar looking to the new Roush's.

Have you made any decisions on your wheels?
What are you thinking of doing with the Boss rollers?
Drop me a PM if you're thinking of selling them.

My Boss wheels have 2 chips which I've been able to re-touch, and three have some curb rash due to the lip sitting flush with the tire sidewall. A wider tire would have prevented this I think, but hindsight is 20/20.
I'll probably sell the Boss wheels (w/TPMS) and stock tires at a really good deal, but it won't be until 2017.
Thank you for asking.
