Dude,.....tell me about it!! I got my excise tax bill for the truck a couple of weeks ago. HOLY F*CK! It's A LOT of money.
( I don't understand how it can be a lot more than what my Roush was brand new?? The Roush costs me thousands more to buy, but I'm pay a lot more excise tax for the truck?!?! THE F*CK!?)

Thanks!
Can't wait to see it back on the road.

That's awesome Sean! S*it just got serious!
They see it a Mustang GT, because Roush is done "post-tittle", but it cost THOUSANDS more. I don't get it? If anything the MPG's are better on the truck than the Roush. The Roush had a gas guzzler tax built into the sticker as the GT350 cars and Hellcats.
I'm not complaining about paying, I'm complaining that the excise tax monies don't seem to go where they are supposed to go,..........to fix the roads/bridges and keep highways/roads looking neat and clean. That isn't really happening these days. Well, just take a look at who's running our "government" anyways. (I'll leave it at that. lol )
Enjoy your car Nathan. She looks killer!

The clips are not needed. They help hold the rotor in place when you are changing the pads but ultimately the wheel holds the rotor tight to the hub. Yes, you have to take off the wheel and you will see the clip(s) around the wheel stud. Again I do not know from first hand experience but from what I read in a bunch of other threads these retaining clips cause vibration with aftermarket wheels since the back of the rim is not recessed to accommodate the clips.

I also have 2 more questions for you.. With running 20x10's in the front, don't they stick out past the edge of the inner fender lip and did you also have to purchase caster/camber plates for properly re-adjusting your caster/camber back to OEM specs ?
In the meantime, thanks once again... Rocky

That front end is EPIC! Overall the car is great. Unique and menacing at the same time.

I'll most definitely be giving them a call tomorrow and ask them Gabe..

The front wheels actually tuck in really nice, I've even thought about putting on the 3/16-1/4" spacers I have, to bring them out more:

Detailed the car saturday and took it for a quick spin and ended up kicking this creep up. This is why I hate it when people mow grass clippings into the road.
