I see what you did there. No pun intended! Stance is on point! You're in Florida! Its easy to understand and appreciate your view on ride-ability and comfort with stretched tires etc.. I'm in Philly where the highways are slightly better than most streets and that's subjective to what part of Philly you're in. Two benefits of having abysmal street conditions is: one rarely rushes through Philly because the streets can eat your wheels and tires alive and you actually save gas. Great pics!

I love the open discussion, sharing various schools of thought/ ideas, with everyone being open minded. None of the juvenile arguing crap, that's prevalent in forums across the nets.

Fumoto currently does not make one for any ford with a plastic oil pan. They completed the R&D and have sent a few valves out for public beta testing. If it makes it to production is anyone's guess at this point.

My Precious........ Seriously tho.. those wheels look sharp!!

You got it!

Congrats and welcome to the forum! That's the beauty of individualism at its finest! It's your ride! You can do as much or as little as you want! Enjoy!

You have a great eye for photos! If you're not a photographer you may have missed your calling.

The Niche Essen is a good looking wheel! Thanks for adding another layer to the never ending saga of paralysis via analysis. LOL

Thanks for the info! Definitely a lot more going on than I was expecting! Thanks for sharing the info!

I can dig it! Always loved roof racks on hatches! Can you share the details of your roof rack?

I wasn't aware that they had different stages of the RMM available. I don't see anything on their website to indicate that different stages were available. Do you know off hand what the different stages would be? At first I was extremely leery of how the CP-E RMM would feel. When I inquired about getting one made with a 60 duro, they said they were all out and they would be using the 65 duro going forward. The only way to get the 60 would be for an extremely large group order, but I digress. Usually one can tell that any ride is tighter with a new RMM. But the CP-E mount is definitely several classes above stock! I agree with you completely. It is a complete night and day experience with the CP-E mount. It's not a placebo. I know new plugs and new RMM don't add anything HP wise but they sure as hell feel tighter and more responsive to the butometer!! I'd have to say the idle did seem initially harsh prior to breaking it in. After the break in period I can't really discern any noticeable increase in NVH and it feels stock except when you're driving! One of the best investments anyone can make for their edge!!

Beautiful pic! You should have it framed! Feel free to post them all individually or shrink them to an acceptable size. WE LOVE PICS!!

They say it takes a village to raise a child.... You and @snmjim and @Special_K are among the OG village elders when it comes to modding the sport! Reach out to them you know they have a finger in a variety of pies and seemingly endless supply of resources.

Sorry to hear the bad news. I think we as a collective is almost as disappointed as you are. Here are a couple of suggestions that may prove fruitful. Can you use a different top? I know it makes it ultimately easier since thats what you based your design concept on. But maybe there is something else available that would work. Have you considered 3D printing? Since you already have the top, perhaps someone could render/ model it and print it? There's a guy here that recently printed a part and he says he does custom work. Reach out to @clegg78 one never knows what y'all could come up with? Have you considered having it done on a CNC machine. I know the start up programming can be costly but the choice of materials are almost endless and once you have the file you can take it almost anywhere they work with CNC and cut them for you. Is there any kind of stamp or identification on the top half of the COBB part? I ask because I doubt COBB makes them and if they don't make them then they have to be made some where. Have you tried reaching out to all of various social media platforms? FB, IG? There maybe someone who knows someone etc They say it can get worse before it gets better. Hopefully this is the worst of it and things will get better once you sort out the top. Don't despair, nor give up! Where their is a will, there is a way! You got this! We appreciate you! HTH
