Hey guys and gals, I just found a solid deal on a Levels IC from a dude that sold his Mustang and pulled the trigger, but I don't think he has the metal bar that bolts to the hood latch anymore (top support for the IC). I see where there are 4 bolts that secure the thing down at the bottom, and...

As in a spray paint type clear coat?

Have to replace my red "." and "T" inserts on the 2.3T side emblems because the sun faded them to orange :/ Any ideas on how to protect them? Clear Plasti Dip maybe?

That any better?

Just got my squared 20x10.5" Velgen VMB 9's wrapped in 275/30/20 A/S 3+'s Shoutout to my man Paul@PKAUTODESIGN for hooking me up with all the advice I needed throughout the research and buying process, and for giving me a sweet deal on the wheels and hardware. If you need advice or are...

Solo performance puts out a great turbo back kit. Idles quiet but wakes up real fast when you get on the gas

Thanks for all the advice! I definitely always do my research before a mod, absolutely for one of several thousand dollars. My original question was not to try and get the cheapest wheels possible, I was just looking for more options to consider. I'm probably going to end up going with the best...

I actually meant to include the VFS-2's in my original list, those are by far my favorites so far. $600/ per is just a ton of money... though I agree quality is worth it.

Time to upgrade to some wider shoes and I'm really digging the 15 spoke design from the HRE FF15's, but they're just so damned expensive. The Niche Form M158's are similar looking but only come in Charcoal and Bronze from what I've been able to find (I'm looking for a brighter silver). I'm...

Hey guys, like the title says, I'm looking to take a day and do my first detail on the car since I got it. I've taken a cross-country trip in it already and there's a few swirl marks and minor scratches here and there, plus some serious road grime. I've scoured this section of the forums trying...

I like UPRJoe's the best so far, maybe just make it a bit thicker to match the "GT" better? Would love to see a 3-D mockup of that one. Opensesame your bottom one is the best. What if you joined the letters similar to the way GT is?

I've been hoping for a rear emblem for weeks. Those look great Joe, I would definitely buy as soon as they go up again!

Daily driving is mostly city stop and go traffic and I get about 22 mpg on average (some days I baby it, sometimes I have fun). But last week I took a 2.5 hour road trip and was up to 38.6 mpg after an average of 70-75 mph. With driving it there, at the destination and back, plus some more daily...

Another Idea Also, I was looking at some pictures of GTs yesterday and thought that an EcoBoost emblem ala the chrome GT on the trunk deck lid might look good too. I PM'ed UPRJoe but I figured I'd get some public opinion on it too. Here it is (closest I could get to the GT font) Thoughts?

Installed and WOW! Got mine in today and installed them right away. I could NOT be happier, these things look perfect! They match the 5.0 styling so well I almost expect people who see my car and go to a dealership to get an EcoStang to ask where the 2.3T emblems are haha. Pics...
