    So my understanding is if you need your 13-14 OE wheels repainted to factory color, you are SIL?

    I got in touch with Helios and they said the stripping involves chemicals only, the inner rim detail would not be affected. They also said they would repair wheel damage (I didn't ask, they brought this up on their own) though that would be extra cost.

    SVT Bilstein suspension rebuild?

    I know this is a fate every vehicle will suffer eventually, but I am curious and a mildly worried what happens when we are looking at when Trinity GT500s approach what is considered "old" in age, or around two decades I'd wager. The Bilstein Damptronic shocks incorporate electronics and aren't...

    So my understanding is if you need your 13-14 OE wheels repainted to factory color, you are SIL?

    This might be an odd question, but this concerns if you have PP package wheels and you send them to Helios to re-finish them - do the unique nodules used to grip the tire bead on the PP package rim survive the stripping process? I just wonder if a physical process like sanding would damage or...

    So my understanding is if you need your 13-14 OE wheels repainted to factory color, you are SIL?

    I know I'm a few months late, but I saw this and breathed a sigh of relief. I was pondering on getting a set of new OE PP Wheels from a Ford dealer, and it was going to run up to around $4,400 CDN.

    Light for the Bilstein Damptronic Shock control button has burnt out, how to repair or replace?

    So this isn't my exact switch assembly, but the shock button light that is supposed to come on when the head and tail lamps are turned on has burnt out, or the shock button in between the launch control and steering mode buttons. As far as I know, the button still performs the function of...

    Chadwick Boseman aka Black Panther dead at 43

    I think when his colon cancer was detected it was already at stage 3, which has about a 40% cure rate. The movies and projects he made during the past four years (along with appearances such as on SNL) he did likely knowing there was the possibility they maybe his last.

    So my understanding is if you need your 13-14 OE wheels repainted to factory color, you are SIL?

    I think the refurbished part is my issue, if they were re-painted or finished, I doubt they would match, which is an issue as I probably don't need a complete set of wheels but just a couple to replace the rashed wheels. I don't know if the wheels are out of production yet, if that is the case...

    So my understanding is if you need your 13-14 OE wheels repainted to factory color, you are SIL?

    Wheels have seen a bit of wear and tear, a few Internet searches have said there is no paint code for the wheels and almost no one that has taken the wheels to be repainted have gotten anywhere close to a color match. I may consider buying a new set of OE wheels, but I can't figure out exactly...

    Trend of failing aftermarket automotive companies

    I've been on automotive forums since about 1999, I've seen this happen over and over again with regards to someone buying something from an aftermarket supplier or service provider: - Customer purchases goods or services, months later it appears the customer is not going to receive what he...

    "We Stand On Guard" - Canada vs. U.S. comic series

    Summary: about 100 years from now, the US attacks Canada and occupies it. The story starts about 12 years after the attack (year 2112), and focuses on Canadian guerrillas fighting against the American forces. The comic is oddly enough written by American Brian K. Vaughan (with influences from...

    '13 Ford Shelby GT500 in the new video game "The Crew", some interesting details

    1) Unlike other games such as Forza, Gran Turismo, Need For Speed, etc. that has featured a Trinity GT500, the car portrayed in the crew is a glass roof model. No way to make it a solid metal roof, just the way it was modeled in game. 2) Though the car comes with the PP wheels, there is an...

    Skateboard spare tire, yay or nay?

    So some kids went drifting and and broke the drum assembly off the rear-wheel of their Neon, making it impossible to put the wheel back on or use a spare tire. Claiming they didn't have the money for a tow, they put a block of wood and a skateboard underneath it to drive home. Word got out to...

    Blog post from a non-car guy that found a Trinity GT500 at a dealership

    http://gruntdoc.com/2013/03/dumb-american-speedometers-ford-mustang.html#sthash.ORriNvZQ.dpbs I hope this isn't a pot roast. The guy calls it just a Mustang, but the picture of the speedo clearly indicates it is a Trinity GT500. I find it funny he thinks the numbers are just there for...

    OEM tire bulge/bubble

    Just wondering if the Eagle F1 Supercar G2s have a problem with this or if this is likely some sort of damage caused by potholes, etc. because I don't recall hitting any.

    Options review

    Having a car in possession that has almost every option (sans heated seats), I decided to look back on those options and the value of them (in my opinion). SVT Performance Package: I actually don't mind the wheels contrary to what some people think, they give the car a more mature "sports...

    A third tire choice for more "casual" drivers

    I just noticed on Tire Rack aside from the stock Goodyears Eagle F1 Supercar G2s and the Michelin Pilot Super Sports, apparently Michelin started making (or Tire Rack started stocking) Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 ultra-high performance all-season tires. While obviously they won't have the grip...
