My SHO! So Happy!

[SethA]

View media item 352View media item 351View media item 350Just bought her yesterday, can't be more excited!! 2011 Ford SHO (I think PP? I have the option to turn off the TCS so I'm not sure haha)
Picked her up for 6,500 (I own her outright from my re-enlistment bonus from the military) so I am super eager to put some tasteful mods on 'er!

Unfortunately, I HAVE to replace these rims! Need to get some aftermarket, blacked out rims, if anyone has any suggestions!
Need to black out that grille, I have messaged AM Custom Grille on facebook to try and snatch one!

-The Bads Already-
1.) Rearview camera is INOP (shows the video but looks like the camera is just broke, all flickering and green and split in half an reversed haha)
2.) Small tear on driver side seat, will probably get it re-stitched somehow.
3.) Vents for the back seats are broke from a child kicking them while in a car seat
4.) Paint damage, just small scratches. Anyone know if there is a paint correction pen for this color?

All in all, I think I got a pretty good price for the car all together! Literally can't be happier!

So, hello forum! Can't wait to make frieds of everyone here!

Congrats on the purchase. On my 13 the back up camera did the same thing. I have myTouch and I all I did was master reset the radio and my camera came back to life. TFYS.

I would suggest these rims because of their extreme light weight.

*UPDATE*
----------------
I have purchased the AM Custom Black grille and Konig gloss black rims for the SHO!
My next venture is to fix my remote start (the key works with the car for a day, then stops working), and to either fix or replace most of the chrome on the outside.
I've seen some other post ideas that I like as well.
The Twin Turbo badge is awesome, and replacing the outside Taurus by the doors with SHO instead, to show off of course

You can even light up those badges if so inclined. The writeup is somewhere on this forum.

My camera started doing something similar, all I had to do to get it working was to unplug it and plug it back in. Look for the connector on trunk lid.

I seen the forum post for this, and it looked pretty simple. More than likely will do it haha

I would guess with that mileage things like turbos, water pump, timing chain, tensioners, engine mounts, hoses etc. have been replaced in the last 50-75k miles.

I had the ford dealership do an inspection and that was the conclusion, the motor was also replaced, just dont know when haha
