New apparel and shoes: satin wrap, grille wrap, 20" wheels, Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires, and sunflower yellow brake caliper paint

It looks awesome. Still waiting on mines. Thought about wrap but will go with a ceramic coat for at least 2 yrs before I get one. One question though. With it being a select...it came with 18 in wheels. Did going up to 20s effect your range at all? I was going to change mines out but stay at 18s for that reason. Thanks.

Thank you. I noticed slight reduction on the range from 20kwh/100km to 20-21kwh/100km (engage mode), but it would be too early to judge. Let's see how it goes after I drive more. I am not sure how much the tire size and width would impact. I think it's more about the aerodynamic of the wheel. Mine are quite open so they are less aerodynamic than the OEM.

Those wheels and tires will increase air resistance and rolling resistance guaranteed. At highway speeds it will probably be more than a 10% hit. Is the range decrease worth it? Personal preference, but man that car looks great.

Yes I think more range reduction may be observed at highway speed. I mainly drive the car in the town so I'm ok with the range hit. If you drive more highway then probably need to double think about it.

Are you able to take the pony caps from the OEM wheelss and put them on the new ones?

Have not got time to put the pony caps on. I wiill try later.

Looks great! Best wrap I've seen yet. Love the yellow Brembos they look great.

Thanks. I hesitated between sunflower yellow and dark gold, and decided to be less shiny.

Thank you. I wish the color could be a little bit lighter but this is the closest I could find.

Wait, so you painted the brembo logo onto the calipers?? I thought the GT was the only one with Brembo brakes. Isn't that like putting the Jordan logo decal on your back window?

I think the rest looks great.

The CrossClimate2 tires are low rolling resistance when properly inflated.

They added approx 4mpg highway (sticker) on my 2004 Thunderbird between Albuquerque and Silicon Calley.

Glad to know! What is the proper way to inflate them?
