So I took my car in to the dealership to buy a new key fob and get it programmed, and after awhile they came back and asked if my car had an aftermarket tune. I said yes and they told me that it’s preventing them from programming the key and that I need to return it to stock for them to be able...

Is anyone here running ARH or Kooks longtube headers with an H-pipe? If so, how did you go about doing it? I was all set on the ARH headers system that included an H-pipe, but they apparently do not offer that anymore, only an X-pipe. I've currently got a 3" Magnaflow catback with the 2.5"...

Does anyone here have any pictures of a GT with painted 5.0 badges, aside from the black badge/black wheel combo? I've seen plenty of pics of the black out package, and it looks great. I'm just not sure how it would look with a more typical wheel color. I've got Lightning Blue and I'm...

While I love the throttle response and shifting of Sport mode when taking off from a light, I have found it to be unusable in stop and go traffic, or even slowing down at a stop light. The car revs and lurches with excessive engine braking and generally makes it look like I don't know how to...

I'm interested in upgrading to some aftermarket wheels that are 20 x 9.5 inch and then matching them to Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires. I've currently got the 18 x 8 foundry black painted wheels. I'm mainly upgrading to the 20" wheel for the looks and I'm not interested in going to...

Can anyone explain to me the purpose of those little plastic flaps in front of the rear wheels? They look kind of like mud flaps, but can't imagine that would help much in front of the wheel. A Google search showed that it might have something to do with aerodynamics, but what kind of a...

Has anyone ever painted their mufflers to make them less noticeable? I really like a clean look and I'm wondering if this would look good. My mufflers are even more noticeable since I've got a quad exhaust. I'm thinking just a flat black color would be the obvious choice (high temp paint...

Anyone here install the Trufiber (or similar) side skirts? I'm planning to do this in the morning and the only installation guide I've seen is a Youtube video from Stage 3 Motorsports. To remove the existing skirt, there are eight plastic push pins along the length of the skirt and then a...

So I just got back from my first road trip in the new Mustang (with less than 2,000 miles) and was dismayed to find a number of rock chips in the front. I know this has been an on-going problem with these cars (even had the same issue on my 06), and it got me wondering if getting a body shop to...

I recently ordered carbon fiber side skirts and a front splitter to match my carbon fiber rear valance. I never saw myself putting carbon fiber on my car until I decided I liked a particular valance for the quad tips. And I'm picky about appearances and I didn't like the mismatch of the carbon...

So, I was planning on getting some nice expensive aftermarket wheels (either Roush or the Vossen VSF5), but I've managed to blow my whole budget on other aftermarket goodies. I still need to get snow tires for this winter and would prefer to have separate set of wheels on which they can remain...

Ok, so I've got all my exhaust parts to install and I am suffering from some last minute indecision. I've got the Magnaflow Competition quad exhaust. It comes with an X-pipe, but I bought the MRT H-pipe and was planning on just using that instead. It is stock pipe diameter, thus slightly...

Has anyone here painted their front splitter, side skirts, or rear valance? I'm curious if it looks nice and if you need to sand them down first or whether there are any aftermarket parts you could purchase instead. I am looking to get rid of the black plastic trim if at all possible.

For those of you that have used real carbon fiber on your daily drivers, what has been your experience with the longevity of the carbon fiber when it's exposed to a lot of sun? All of the products I am looking at come with clear coat, but one of the vendors told me it usually only lasts 1-3...

In my on-going quest to find a quad exhaust/valance combo I like, I suddenly find myself considering something that I never imagined I would be considering. I’ve never really been in to the whole carbon fiber thing. I totally get it when it comes to replacing the driveshaft or steel body parts...

Is there anyone in the Minneapolis area with a Roush or Magnaflow Competition exhaust system on their GT that would be willing to let me listen to it? On my last car, I went through six different systems before finding one I liked and the YouTube videos only help so much, so I'm hoping to be...

So, after researching for months, I finally thought I was getting close to a decision on an exhaust system. I had narrowed it down to the Roush or the Magnaflow Competition, and almost decided to go with the Magnaflow. Paired with an H-pipe, it seems like this has the least raspy, most old...

I've got my heart set on the look of a quad tip exhaust on my next Mustang...Where exactly does that leave me as far as options are concerned? The Roush is definitely high on my list, plus I like ability to quiet it down with the block off plate and possibly add the active exhaust at a later...
