New 2013 SEL - Texas


Traveler

Recommended Posts

Well I have been lurking here long enough and learned a great deal so I guess it is time to introduce myself. I drove over to a Ford store in late September just to look at an SVT Focus and drove home with a 2013 SEL Edge in Tuxedo Black with the 3.5 V6, SEL appearance package and Group 204A (leather and rear view camera). Shortly thereafter I found this forum and caught the mod bug, which was a surprise because I thought I had stopped that bad habit when I quit autocrossing. So anyway over the course two months I have added the goodies listed below in roughly the order of their acquisition.

 

OEM all weather mats and cargo cover

OEM rear bumper cover

McGard 24198 Chrome Cone Seat Wheel Locks

Daytime BrightLites DRL’s (thanks Dan)

TRS Morimoto HID conversion, 35 watt, 5000K with harness

Bosch Icon wiper blades

CravenSpeed stubby antenna

LED interior lights sourced from Amazon

LED license plate lights (Sylvania 168/194/2825 Premium White LEDriving Bulb)

LED puddle light conversion

Auto Ventshade 322028 Smoke Aeroskin Hood Protector

3M 1080 Scotchprint vinyl wrap on the grill top chrome strip and front Ford logo surround

K&N 77-2583 cold air intake

 

The K&N was strictly for the sound with no expectation of any performance gain. The sound is nice but can be a bit loud when really getting in the throttle. I am not sure if it is staying. Surprisingly my wife really likes it. It reminds her of her former FX35. I’ll give it a month and see.

 

So thanks to all of you for the great posts that quickly guided me on all these mods.
