New SHO Owner

[Kelly Padfield]

Well looks like in 2 days I become the owner of a 2014 sho non PP. Car only has 20k km on it (from Canada). Will post pics once I pick her up on Saturday.

Before we even got home the GF had to go to an Ikea. I parked as far away as I could and found another nice ride parked by her afterwards haha. Glad he left a open spot in between.

What is that behind the lower grille???

 

[Kelly Padfield]

12" Rigid light bar and the switch is wired into the high beam circuit so it can only be turned on once the highbeams are on.

Is it pretty bright?
A few guys I know have them on there trucks and they put out some serious light!

Sweet!

I like the light but doesn't it block off part of the intercooler and radiator?

 

[Kelly Padfield]

Yeah I have thought about this, the light was on there from the previous owner. I like that fact it enhances the cop car look in the front ( people seem to slow down and get out of my way on the highway) but I wonder about it hurting cooling.

Love the rims!

I refuse to put a front plate on my car also. Thought about this.

No need for such complexity. I installed this on my '13 SHO right after I bought it. No holes in my front bumper cover.

Welcome! Great site here with alot of good info to learn.

Are those rockstar wheels? This is a first, I don't think I have ever seen the actual passenger car version (vs truck wheels) before! They are quite popular in the 4x4 arena. Not sure where you live, your pictures with the lights seem to be pretty rural - you may want to add tires with a little more sidewall. I don't know if I would trust those little rubber band tires driving off the pavement!

 

[brucelinc]

Good point, BoatSHO. I wouldn't trust that wheel/tire combination in our city full of potholes, either.

 

[Kelly Padfield]

They are KMC Rockstars. Actually the car only drives on pavement, the pictures were taken in the yard where I work just to get a nice dark picture to show the light difference. The car also came with the SEL rims with new winter tires so there is a lot more meat on those tires for that time of year.
