^It might be because I have some reverse rake, but mine is settling right on top of the tire, will be lowering the front tomorrow. We might be able to get away with lowering the spring perchs to the lock ring for the lower body. I have a bumpy back road I drive through before I park my car for the night, if it wasn't for the cannon of a muffler I have I'd drive through it faster but scrape going 45 on one of the bigger dips lol. I've only just driven through my neighborhood and just a few miles to work the past two days I've had them installed.

you should run hub centric adapters or get a hub centric ring that fits. (not sure if thats even possible with adapters)

theres no definite answer as to whether you will or will not have problems, but when you run aftermarket wheels and no hub centric rings, the wheels can move slightly on the hub, which then causes your setup to be lug centric, meaning most of the impact and movement is being taken by your lugnuts/studs. You dont really want that. When you have hub centric rings your whole setup is hub centric so all the impact goes through the hub like its supposed to.

Does anyone know what color/shade/name the silver paint is that is used on the waterfall? Just need a good match from any of the autozone/advance auto/walmart spray paint brands.

^ Stock 17" wheels are 17x7 +45 5x100.

I've looked at the list and most are universal, minus the second reverse light mod, the tC2 only comes with one, IDK why. Search for "cheap mod" in just the tC1 section, might find something.

Well you could talk to a jeweler if you want real rhinestones, but i'm assuming you don't mean real ones because they would get stolen real quick :?

Besides for that, there are plenty of places you could get small fake diamonds and just super glue them into the lettering. This isn't an all too common question haha

Recently my battery died on me...the only cause i can find for this is because of the light in the lower left corner of the dash(looks like a car with a key in the middle of it)...my manual says this light should flash when the key is taken out of the ignition but the light never stops flashing...is this why my battery dies after sitting for a day or so? AAA said my battery was fine and didnt need to be replaced...figured i'd ask here if there's a way to stop the light from flashing or anything else it could possibly be...i have no idea why this feature is even there, makes no sense to me. Thanks.

edit: it's a 2005 tC

The flashing light is for the engine immobilizer. Double check that the light in the hatch isn't on. I had mine left on for a day and caught it.

a friend of mine with a mustang brake pedal used to stick down a little bit so his brake lights would stay on and killed his battery a few times before we noticed what was going on. i dont think this is usual but worth a check.
