Default White Lettered Michelin Tires

The single close-up picture of your front passenger side wheel shows a white lettered Michelin tire. Is it a stock/factory painted Pilot SS tire and available from Michelin?

Just got new Redline radar, mirror tap and Blendmount.

Remove the mirror





You will need this mirror tap wire





I forgot to take the picture when tapping the wire to the power outlet of the mirror. But it is very easy, hot wire connect with blue wire of the mirror and ground to purple wire.

Here is the Blendmount





How it looks from front and back

Notice you're a fellow Coogs. I am myself also. HTX. I was wondering where did you purchase the red leather key fob? And was the process easy to hard wire the radar?

Were you the one that I talked to on fb? The red key fob cover was custom handmade. I switched to blue suede as you can see in the most recent pic. You can get it on amazon.com, here is the link: goo.gl/hN3tmJ

The mirror tap was easy to do. If you want to do it just let me know, I surely can help.

Link for the mirror tap: https://goo.gl/6OokU0

I bought the Blendmount on eBay for $50, that's half off the MSRP.

I think so!! Were you the one that offer me to hear your exhaust in person?
You didn't like the red leather?

Yea I'm thinking about doing it. Looks more cleaner. Does that mount fit the Escort Passport 8500 X50?

Yes that was me. I have several colors for the key fob so I just change them occasionally. Here is the exact listing that I bought them Blendmount: http://www.ebay.com/itm/172244849596?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT They are sold out at the moment but you can check other items from same seller. Just make sure that you get the mount for Escort, not other brands.

Sorry I been meaning to hit you up so we can meet in bellaire but I been busy. I just got my car wrapped so thats why. I would still like to hear your exhaust. Beside wheels and tires, exhaust is my next upcoming purchase.

Was thinking of going with this
https://www.amazon.com/Mirror-Mount-...r+mirror+mount

For your front lip, is it actual skipper or ebay?

I was debating that mount and Blendmount too. However, I didn't like the long screws design of the mount listed on Amazon and found Blendmount was cheaper if bought on eBay. And I actually like the build quality of the Blendmount. I got the TRD style front lip from another member but it was not a direct fit so I took it off. I am tired of knock off lips and saving up for Seibon lip right now.
