I was wondering... how good are you at photoshop? I was wondering if you could show me what a 98+ Tour would look like painted 99 Mustang Chrome Yellow. Plus I checked our your web site again. Did you photoshop those wheels I sold you onto your car? I swear your car is at the same exact angle it was before! How are they working for ya anyway? I'm finally getting my car back from Ford sometime next week and I can't wait! They replaced EVERYTHING! Engine, tranny and ECU. To bad I couldn't talkthem into putting in a MTX75. Anywho they are only charging me $225! I just don't have $225 right now. frown

Oops, sorry. I haven't checked this forum in a few days . . . I swear I'm not ignoring you! laugh

I'm pretty good at photoshop, I suppose. Computer art is my hobby. I'll take a stab at the paint job, and will post the results here.

Oh, and those rims are the real thing. I just took another picture, but you're right, it's almost the same angle. I still love the rims, anyway. I think one of the tires is out of balance, though. If I wasn't about to go on a trip to Greensboro, I would leave it until I replace them, but I suppose I should fix it before going several hundred miles. No big deal though.

That's cool that Ford did all that for only $225! I wish I had the same luck at Cape Fear as you do . . .

[rant on]

I tried to get them to do something about my paint (the dreaded clearcoat cracking mad ) but no go. Granted, I'm out of warrenty, but I was trying to get them to go under the corrosion one, since eventually it will cause rust. What pissed me off was that Greg, the service manager, took a look at the hood and said, this car's been repainted, and it wasn't done right. We suggested that it was done there, and he said, "No I can tell it wasn't done by us." Well, we went and talked to the previous owner, and she said that when they delivered the car, Cape Fear Ford scratched the hood and trunk. So before she took ownership, THEY repainted it. Unfortantly, the work isn't in her name because it wasn't hers yet, and Ford can't, or isn't willing, to show that they did it. So I guess I'm screwed to pay for a paint job. I think when the time comes I'll get Cape Fear Community College to do it, and just pay for supplies. Not the best solution, but the best I can afford. frown

[/rant off]

I will give that paint job a shot though.

eek laugh OOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I like it! What do you think? It's unique for a Tour and plus no one can say it's ricey since the color is from a Mustang. I think I am going to have it painted that color. Do you think it would look pretty cool?

The only reason I lucked out at Cape Fear Ford is becuase I had Lake Norman Ford back in Huntersville/Charlotte where I bought the car harass them for a couple months until they finally broke down and agreed to fix it.

Well if we were in Charlotte I could help you repaint it. But my garage/shop is about 250 miles away and thats quite a distance to drive for a paint job.

I like the color too! I'd be really cool if you painted the 'tour that color. I saw your post about turning it into a show car, THAT would sure turn some heads!

Thanks for the paint offer! But yeah, 250 miles is a bit far to commute back and forth to! laugh

Hmm, this is a little old. Better late than never I guess.

I think I'd be cool to get together. I've been wanting to hit the track up at Jacksonville sometime, maybe that's a possibility.
