Default New to the F

Hello all, after years of lurking this site and spending countless hours searching for the perfect F I finally have one I can call my own. MY 2008, Mercury Metallic. I can't stop smiling as this car is truly amazing! The previous owner has added a carbon fiber wrap on the mirrors and grill which I believe is a nice touch. I already order the mini window trim and a lower lip spoiler... and here I said she would remain stock ha. Here are a few quick pictures. I'll be sure to post a couple after a nice overdue detail.

Also any members in the KC area??

- Steve

Welcome & congratulations.

I also have an '08 MM. I wasn't initially thrilled with the color when I bought the car a year ago, but have grown to love it, especially in low light.

Thank you. When I was searching for one it was on the bottom on the list but like you I love it now. Pictures don't do it justice. It seems to miss all the curves and doesn't seem as "wide" as the ISF really is.

Welcome welcome! You'll love the F.

Definitely need to open it up with an exhaust though!
