    New Wheels

    Yep, reused the stock tires, TPMS sensors, and valve stems since they were only 2,000 miles old:) On top of that Discount Tire added their warranty to my stock tires for ~$25 each even though I did not purchase the wheels from them (just had them install them).
  2. LOL...No disrespect but so is a Raspberry Pi, Pogo Plugs, and countless smart phones ...that doesn't mean much.
  3. I tapped the LED to the original license plate light for the left side. I'm not sure if it is really 2 modes...my guess is that since the LED's are so small they are running from the power left in the line. My LED actually broke after a few weeks....I already got a replacement from the seller but I haven't replaced the original on yet. When I swap it I'm thinking about tapping both LED lights to the same lead to see what happens. I'm hoping that the right side LED will pull enough power to turn both off.
  4. I HIGHLY doubt it...my guess is a change in hardware + software.

    City MPG seems a bit better but it's really hard to tell as I have a plug-in and I haven't filled gas in over 2 months now:) Acceleration is a bit better but it's not that noticeable when on EV with all the torque. The biggest difference is handling, the wheels are .5" wider 7.5" vs 7" and they have less offset than the stocker so the track is wider than stock.

  7. The last two have very minor blemishes when the tires were removed...$180 Shipped each!
  8. Fixed the issue with not being able to turn on the camera in any gear (*even when parked). It would have help if I read the directions before I installed it..LOL. On a Cmax you have to set the vehicle selector switch from "0" to "1" and set dip switch 11 on. Once I did that it enabled the steering wheel control to manually enable the camera when not in reverse:D Lockpick is the bomb!!! Highly Recommended.
  9. FYI, you can't use a rear camera on the front. The image will be reversed unless it has a toggle on the camera to switch from mirror view to non-mirror view. I finally hooked up my Lockpick today and it works GREAT!!!! I'm surprised how quickly the video turns on once put into reverse. My only issue is I am unable to toggle the rear camera on while I'm driving forward...got to call them on this. I read on the Focus forums that this was a firmware issue with newer cars and a firmware update might fix this.
  10. I only saw 3 originally and couldn't figure out why it wasn't coming off :D
  11. The light/trunk handle piece is held on by 4 small nuts on the inside of the hatch.If you take off the plastic interior panel you can see them behind it.
  12. FYI, some of the colors are exclusive to dipyourcar.com
  13. Home Depot, Lowes, and some Walmarts also carry it.
  14. Great for a spare tire or replacement for a damaged wheel. I used these for only 2,200 miles before replacing them with aftermarket wheels. $190 each Shipped North America USA ONLY. I currently have 3 left. Comes with center cap but does not come with TPMS sensor or valve stem.
  15. On motorcycle forums they are known as "My build" threads:D
  16. Tell me more about the SiriusXM "auto payment". When I got my car the XM radio worked so I assume that it got activated by the dealer. Are you saying that I need to cancel something before the 6 month trial period is over? I did not accept any service agreements with Sirius myself.
  17. I already ran them. I goes from the hatch through the factory rubber junction, through the headliner down the rear left pillar out to the rear fuse box. From there it goes above the battery then behind the plastic behind the rear passenger seat behind the driver then under the carpet. From there it goes under the door sills along the left of the car and up to the front. It is completely hidden.
