New Owner From Houston, Texas!

[Chxnvelxve]

Yo peeps. I just bought my 2015 ST as of Saturday, June 6th. This is actually my first time owning and driving a standard transmission car and probably isn't the best car to start out with as there are many other less quick, non turbo cars out there to learn on lol. I got my first car at 16 and was an automatic 03 Hyundai tiburon. Yes.... I slammed possibly the slowest V6 on the market lol. I am currently 20, just sold my first motorcycle, own a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 S/ST and now my Inglt Silver 2015 Ford Fiesta ST. Have big plans for it... Most likely doing what everyone else is as far as tuning with Cobb's stage 3 mods. I want to tint the windows before anything and would like to know some Houstonians (or Texans) opinions on how dark to go. And the boost gauge thing. I'm gonna be using the Rev app because I found that was what most people use... But am completely clueless on how to connect to the car and what I need. Also plan on debadging everything except the ST emblems and getting red wheels to set off the ST badges... Most likely a multi spoke such as BBS or something similar.. Thanks for everything peeps. I am currently on my phone and my PC needs network drivers at the moment so I will upload pics later.

For gauges think of the Cobb Accessport3. Lots of gauges and some maps. Just a thought.

I'm in Cypress, TX and I negotiated the tints when I purchased it. I always say the following when tinting my cars..."as dark as legally possible"...lol

Also, I make a living in IT so if you need IT help...I know a guy.

Welcome from the Tomball area.
I went 30% (or is it 35% whatever is "legal") on the front doors and windshield strip and 20 on the rear doors and around the back.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Izzy and Svvift I live in the humble area if y'all are ever down to cruise or anything let me know. I'm sure we can meet halfway. There's a shop right next to me so I'm gonna call and see what's up. And as far as my computer issue, I have to download network drivers, but I'm unsure of for what... So I looked up my motherboard (Asus Z97-ar) and found something. Need to go to a friends and download and see if that work. Thanks for the info Izzy.

Damn. I just got off the phone with my insurance company to add my car on, refinanced my loan (without taking a hit on my credit) and got 2% interest lower than previous and I'm getting a check for the GAP insurance I purchased as my insurance provides that for free. Lucky man....

That's always good news.

I just got off the phone with a guy. Most likely gonna do the 35% on front and 5% around the back. Little less light so maybe I can use those footwell LEDs in the day time hahaha jk. I like my cars dark and it'll keep it cool. Does anyone know anything about what can be modified while still under warranty. I got the extended 5 year 75,000 mile warranty for a steal so I had to snag it.
