Bill’s NEW 2018 Mustang GT: First Impressions and Build Thread

Dave@CJPP said:

We already offer them, we just haven't got the fitment updated online yet. P/N: GO36 for the Gloss Black and P/N: GO37 for the Matte Black options. And if you want a color matched one, see P/N: GO40-V

Thank you Bill, which springs are you trying? Any chance on a Black Friday deal on some 2018 parts please?

My car is same as yours, mag ride, but an A10 and in naughty orange.

I am installing the Ford Performance GT350 lowering springs.

Resonator Delete... This new Mustang doesn't need anything but the OEM mufflers and the suitcase delete! WOW!

I have an 18 coming in with mostly the same options except with the active exhaust. Do you know if this would have any effect on it? I apologize if this is relatively elementary.

Bill I love your color choice and options packages on this build. The race red really pops against the black trim and wheels.

Is the JLT oil seperator a redesign for the 2018 GT? Or will a 2017 version fit the 2018?

Noticed you didnt have to remove the console for the shifter install. That's nice.

The 2018 version is different, the one line is longer for clearance.

Did you not install a supercharger on your previous car Bill?

If you did, I'd be curious to hear why you moved away from it and what you liked/disliked about it.

TIA.

I love the 18s. The ONLY thing i'm not a fan of is the gloss black grill. And that was confirmed when I was at SEMA and I saw it in person. I'd rather it be be matte black. Other than that, Im diggin the 18s. Not enough to trade my 16 in on one though LOL.

I actually really like it BUT why did the make the lower grille the matte grey color? It would have looked a lot better if both were the same material. I figure the aftermarket crowd will address that soon enough. Also do the EBs also have the gloss black grille?

Did the spring install happen yet? Curious on fitment, ride, look and of course the video as always

The EB's upper grille matches the lower portion -- non gloss, matte plastic. Only the GT's upper grille is gloss black.
