What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Dropped her off at the Dealer to get the oil changed, sagging rear bumper, sticky Quarter Window, and Flakey Rear Camera looked at.

Apparently, other than wash it, tore this thing half way ifo the bottom. Anyone know what it's called? Looks like it's there to protect the lines.

Pretty sure it's there to deflect wind for aerodynamics and give you an extra 0.3 mpg. No big deal really, I removed mine when I ran aftermarket wires in that area since it was in the way.

Yesterday afternoon I installed the Whiteline transmission bushing insert.

I did not cut any holes, or modify the mount in any way, as I wanted a "baseline" on the additional NVH it caused.

There is most definitely some new rattles, vibes, and sensations, but shifting feels much nicer. I plan on putting a couple hundred of miles on the insert to 'break it in' before pulling it out to drill a hole or two.

Finished installing a new audio system...replaced everything except for the HU. Much better quality sound!

Last week, got my tint replaced. Original tint was done by selling dealership while it sat on their lot for several months. It was a $100 tint job. Never get $100 tint jobs.



New tint is Panaflex Carbon Ceramic -70% on windshield, 20% on doors and 5% on quarters and back.


Also my black 5.0 fender badges came in, and it's almost time to put the hood decal back on after the hood repaint. Maybe next week.


edit: Don't laugh at the poor wrap job on the antenna nipple. It's harder to wrap than it looks. Will redo that soon too.

That is why I left mine yellow!

Oil change, tire rotation. While it was in, had the body shop start a claim on rusting door hinges.

@JOKER GT and I bled our brake systems today. We both got a lot of bubbles out the rear brakes, but not from the fronts.
We used the @Optimum Performance pressure bleeder system - worked great.

Tried to install Whiteline differential bushings. Took waaaay longer than the 90 minutes per the Steeda installation video and I'm not finished. I fear I've misaligned the subframe trying to drop it for clearance for the front bushing bolts. Only need to install 1 bushing bolt and I'm done but blasted subframe won't drop far enough on the passenger side which is where the trouble is. Damn gas tank is in the way.

This is a good link to read to assist with the install.

I installed mine last week and drilled the 1” hole recommended. NVH is still there along with everything else you mentioned. I will say you get used to it and it’s wellmworth the benefit.

Yep great system for flushing the fluid. I am confused/curious why the small bubbles never went away in the rears.

That is pretty cool but the price is ridiculous. Half that would be a stretch. But I also think the factory style buttons for 30 are overpriced too. They do have a 20 off coupon though....

Can you share where I can find this coupon?

Finally installed my WMG shifter, it feels so much better in my hand then the stock shifter and looks great. Also found a good deal on a brand new 50 years decklid so I had to add that.

I also installed the FP hood struts and changed the color of the heat extractors.
