Are these the stock Calipers?

Good morning. I looked at a ton of photos and cannot tell if these calipers are just painted oem or aftermarket.

Car is a 2017 base model ecoboost. I was looking to replace the pads and rotors soon.

Both have plenty of life still and the car still stops great, but they are original to the car at 101k miles now.

There are some numbers on the calipers, but it didnt help me turn up anything. I won't get a chance to remove the wheels for a few weeks.

Thanks.

Dirty throttle body

I just cleaned the throttle body for the first time in 101k miles on my 2017 mustang ecoboost.

I did not expect it to be this dirty. I started spraying and immediately it was pouring brown juice onto the rags.

Not even my Ford ranger with over 300k miles was this dirty.

The car is running fine and always has, but I figured its time to clean the TB. The charge pipe was fused to the throttle body though. It was a bitch to get it off.

Taking one more stab at Jim green boots

I have very high volume feet which creates all sorts of issues. I tried the AR8s and thought that they fit after wearing them numerous times.

But as they broke in, they started to crease down hard onto my foot as the toe box and mid foot was way too low for my thick foot.

I do have wide feet at over 4 inches wide with wool socks. I have a high instep as well.

Should I try something with the stc last? The toe box in the AR8s was way to low for my foot even with different insoles and socks. I tried everything.

Do the barefoot boots from Jim green support people with a large volume of foot? Or is trying the STC last really the only option.

The biggest issue i always have with boots is that they start creasing into my foot as they break in.

Ive tried so many different brands. Belleville boots are really the only boots ive had luck with fitting in recent years.

Thanks.

Afternoon. I returned a pair of boots over two weeks ago and still havent recieved a refund.

They arrived at their warehouse in the states 14 days ago. I did email customer service a couple of days ago. Is it normal for it to take this long?

Thanks.
