Hey guys and gals, just picked up a 2015 black st. What a vast improvement over my old truck. I had a 1995 f150 and it got about 10mpg... On a good day. So I did the math and with the driving I do it was going to be cheaper to get a new car.
I test drove a fiesta st about a year ago and told myself I'd buy one as a graduation present and sure enough, got it the day of graduation and drove it to the ceremony.
2015 black fiesta st. Navigation and Moon roof.





I love this car. Already put 250 miles on it in 2 days and it is so fun and enjoyable. And getting 29mpg already is great too.
My plans for the car are:

Exterior first:
Clear bra- I want the paint to be as nice as possible for as long as possible.
I can't decide if I want to debadge or not. For sure the dealer logo.
Lower the car with some springs.
I'm looking at the vogtlands or mountunes
I really like the look of wing risers
Rims will most likely be Pro Race rims with Michelin pilot sport AS/3
Headlights- I may do the fog light overlays but I'm not sure yet. That's something a little less important.

Performance - I want to put some miles on the car to break it in before I start with performance- probably 5-10k before anything. But when I do:
Cobb tuner
Cobb Rmm
Cai
Catch can
I was thinking MRT but I'm not sure if I want it "that loud" yet.
Mishimoto J-line intercooler
Catted dp
I'm on the edge of doing anything to the shifter. I like the way it feels and I'm wondering if bushings actually change it a lot.
Short throws options?
As for the shift knob, I love the stock one so I doubt I'll change it.

Interior- not much.
I want the throttle pedal spacer as I can't heal-toe right now.
Other than that- some new floor mats

This car is a blast at all speeds and I can't wait for what is to come.

Modifications now:
Interior:
No-Pistons dead pedal w/red backing
No-Pistons battery tie down
Painted engine cover
Mountune shift knob

Exterior:
Xenon h11 LED conversion- low beams
Xensun h11 3000k Hid conversion- fogs
Led license plate lights
Removed lower grill
Sti gold OEM rims
wing risers
H&R springs
Trimmed lower grill
20%/5% tint
Rokblokz mud flaps
Allfit lip

Suspension:
H&R lowering springs
Cobb Rear motor mount
Continental DWS06 205/45/17

Performance:
Injen Sri
Custom catch can
2jr catless downpipe
Mishimoto J-line intercooler
Cobb accessport
Resonator delete
Charge pipe resonator delete
Symposer delete
Panda tuned

Car made 207hp/277tq


Car currently:

I don't know. It fits my hand well. I'm not a fan of pool ball knobs

Just showed my buddy the car and while he was there, he helped me figure out my fogs. Do they stay on as drl?
Anyway, we got to talking and with me wanting to be a cheap kid, we thought of 3d printing the wing risers. Does anyone know if someone has done this and/or know dimensions so I could draw some up on sketchup and/or cad?
Along with that- anyone know dimensions on the throttle spacers?
At the college I'll be attending and working with design team, I will have access to 3d printers, cnc machines, lathes, and much more. I'd like a little project for this car and those seem like simple yet subtle mods.

You're better off reverse engineering the stuff yourself. IP is serious business.

Does anyone have a video that shows the difference of in cabin noise without the symposer? I'm not sure if I like the induction noise or not. Any advice?

Washed the car today- iron x


clay bar as well.




some endura shine for the tires-
Before:


After:



Iron x did a great job of removing lots of containments
Mothers clay bar kit is really cheap and works great!
Turtle wax jet black endura shine for the tires was easier than expected and looks fantastic.

I decided it was time to atleast start small.
First off I had to remove the dealer badge which was really easy. Just a hair dryer and my finger- I don't have much for nails either-
After that I got my ford emblems tinted to make it flow better with the tuxedo black.
I ordered and just received No-Pistons dead pedal as well as the battery tie down.

I bought them used and they look to be in great shape.
I also bought a used mountune shift knob.

I want to see which I like better. So far I like the looks but- will I like the feel in my hand? If not I'll sell it.
