They spent more time on the stickers than anything else.
that is because the time lapse setting was a shot a second instead of one every 10 seconds for cleaning and removing all the plastic while the graphics time lapse was every second, or maybe faster. It took about 3 hours of cleaning on the first night. The second night was spent painting the calipers and clearcoating the suspension, but the GoPro recorded none of the footage. The third night was adding the graphics, which took about an hour. It would have been quicker, but I kept having vistors.

Yes, I had requested the car to be delivered exactly as it arrived from the factory. They did the mechanical prep and activated MFT, but otherwise did nothing to the car. I did the same for my 2000 ZX3 and 2011 Fiesta. I really enjoy prepping the car myself and saving all the decals and documents. I didn't keep the protection film for the engine cover and door sills, which I should have to use in the winter.

Is that your Mustang in the garage?
Yep, that is my Mustang in the corner of the garage. It didn't get too much use after the ST arrived. I drove it quite a bit for the first half of the summer to keep miles off my 2011 Fiesta as I waited for the ST to arrive. This summer I plan on splitting autocross duty between the ST and the Mustang. Hot events will use the Mustang and cooler or possible wet events will use the ST.

No problem. In hindsight, I needed a faster time lapse on the unboxing video to help show the process better. My brother, who does the editing and the majority of filming set up the GoPro for the graphics. He couldn't make it to the night I got the ST, so I took a stab at what speed to set the timer.

Congrats Bryan! Watched several of your videos when learning about the car. Great to see you have one of your very own now.
