I’m also interested in your thoughts of the new changes to the clutch/transmission.

Congrats Bill! Can't wait to see how you take this thing apart and make improvements!
And yes, how's the transmission feel now? Any more of the old notchy shifting in the lower gears?

In this video, Bill & the crew at CJ's will show you how to install this Pair of Diode Dynamics Smoked Rear LED Side Marker Lights on your 2018 Mustang from the comfort of your own shop or garage with basic hand tools.

Showcasing an optical reflector pattern and full length LED focal strip that provides maximum visibility. When you want brighter, longer-lasting, more visible, and modern lighting, upgrading to Diode Dynamics LEDs are a smart choice.

Installation couldn't be easier, requiring absolutely zero tools. Acting as a direct plug-and-play process, you'll be back on the road in no time.

Beautiful car Dave, you gonna drop the FRPP mag lowering springs or 350 springs on it?
Bill has a ton in store for his '18. We have at least one company car coming in any day, the plan is literally to test fit anything and everything that we possibly can in order to update existing listings and create new video content.

Stay tuned!!!

Just put the Sequencer on my Santa list.
Anything to help grab the attention of someone with their phone in their face is money well spent in my book.

Will the stock air box and inlet pipe work on a 15-17? Is it larger than the 15-17? Any word on if the intake manifold may work too?
I did not measure it but the location and fitment seems identical. I have a few parts I will be trying over the next couple weeks.

We are lowering it on FRPP springs this week!

The car looks great! Any issues with correct fitment of body parts?
Fitment of all the panels is very very good. One small drip on the corner of the trunk lid is my only complaint and that has been resolved.

Congrats Bill! Can't wait to see how you take this thing apart and make improvements!

Transmission feels very tight and solid. Driveline "clunk" is gone so far. The clutch is extremely light which takes a little getting used to. The internal upgrades to the trans seem to work so far, we have a video coming out soon explaining the changes. Thanks for all the support, very happy so far!

Thanks man, looking forward to your thoughts on the mag ride as you get more time in the car and how the FRPP lowering springs impact the ride quality please?

Looking forward to the video detailing the changes, hoping the mag equipped cars have got lots of GT 350 parts on them. :)

You should try to weigh the car as I hear mag ride cars are lighter as DSSV shocks weigh less and if it has got 350 suspension parts they probably weigh less too.

I just made a post on initial impressions, yes on the GT350 parts, we will have a dyno and scale info soon!
