I would really not waste my money if I were you.
Firstly, they'll just end up sitting on the shelf next to the MGW shifter you bought 7 years ago for your 2013 Roush.
Secondly, you don't drive the car hard enough to warrant upgrading anything.
It would really be something done purely for looks.
And if you have that much money lying around, send me some, I can use it much better than for brake upgrades only done for looks, LMAO

LMFAO
I'm cracking up.LOL
I did sell the MGW shifter, so I got most of the money back for that one. But, the kit is "mostly for looks" and the upgrade is LEVELS above the stock Brembos and the Brembos are amazing. Because I may do wheels/tires as well. Actually, I am if I get the upgrade kit. A staggered set. The fattest I can go out back, which I think are 305's and the fattest I can go up front. We'll see how it goes. Reviews and raises are coming this month, so we'll see.

But,...since you say svae your money,.......LOL
I also saw that Roush has the 2020 Raptor out as well, I just got the email today. And it does look MIGHTY fine!!! So, maybe I'll save for that?? I want to order the SCAB Raptor though, not the SCREW like mostly everyone has around here. Although, they do look good, the SCAB looks best in my opinion. But, I really don't need a another daily driver for a long, long time. I just turned 20,600 on the '16 Ram Sport.

I'll be trading in the '16 Ram Sport 4X4, rcsb for the Raptor. The Raptor would be the new daily driver.
The Roush won't be going anywhere, unless I sell it/trade it in for a 2021 GT500. And then I WOULD HAVE to keep the '16 Ram Sport, which is a killer truck in it's own right, if I did that.

Took the beast out this morning. WHAT A RUSH!!!!
I love it.

If you guys/gals ever get a chance to test drive a '18/'19 A10, 2650 TVS car, put it in Sport+ mode, traction control off and steering in Normal. You'll be going home with it.
What a blast!!
I was driving this morning in a 40MPH zone and I looked down at the digital dash and I'm doing 53!! It doesn't even feel like 53. LOL

Halfway throttle from a stop, chirped the tires, not sure what gear it was, I'm guessing shifting from 3rd to 4th. Nasty! My buddy that was about 80-90 yards away, said he heard it and started laughing.
Topped off the gas tank and back into the Batcave. LOL

Very Nice Tony!

So is that shot with the bright sunny sky's and dry pavement going to be available today, or is it under about a foot or more of snow?

Good luck out there. Sounds like you guys are in for another misaligned winter blast.
We are going to break 60° today. I have my car ready for the first drive of the year.

This photo was from Sunday! We have ZERO snow out here!!! We only got 15 inches pf snow so far this winter, waaaayyy under the normal. That's fine with me.
I hope you're able to take the machine out really soon.
We have no snow in the forecast at all. Actually, it looks like 50's coming again this week coming. LOL

That is awesome. Guess the info of a huge storm for the east coast is a bit off and it is going to miss you. Good news! Enjoy the spring like weather you are getting. Glad you get to drive that beast!

Was warm yesterday, 64°, but winds were 15-20 mpg. Too much junk flying around, so I did not break her out. We still have nice weather ahead in the forecast, so maybe over the next week. Going to be in the high 40's and 50's, then next weekend it is supposed to be back in the 60's. Can't wait for spring.

Thanks brother!
Yeah, I wouldn't take her out with stuff blowing around as well. Too much of a risk.
I can't wait for summer to take her out on the early weekend mornings when there are not many people on the roads. When I say early, I mean around nine in the morning. That's my favorite!!

Hopefully you get to take her out soon!
