22k highway miles, 4 months parked in the winter, 30 days at the dealer and not even seeing dirt yet is ridiculous to me. Wear item yes, leaking shock oil and nitrogen thru a welded component = NO.
I’ve swapped the grille for an OEM Heritage with matching red ford lettering. The center color is acutally sprayed carbonized grey with Oxford white on the outer perimeter. I’m also doing the center dome of the hood, side strips and wrapping the rollbar.
