What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Isn’t that the truth. I searched for 6 weeks to find an Ingot Silver car equipped the way I wanted it, to no avail. :(

At 16 weeks in waiting for mine I used Fords site and found a bunch in SoCal. I should have taken the 3K trip, but waited 2 more weeks for mine to be delivered.

I installed Diode Dynamics rear side marker LEDs over the weekend, to finish off the lighting I wanted to do on the exterior. So now, everywhere there is a tinted lens I also have a brighter LED bulb that more than compensates for any reduced output from a darker lens. I have an LED backup bulb, rear side marker units, as well as front sequential turn indicator units. Very happy with the light output of each.

Interesting, 1st I've seen this grille. Does it also have a electrically actuated shutters behind the grille?

No idea...easy way to find out? I'm happy to look or take pics.

Here's mine all bundled up for the long nap 'til March/April. To quote the late Tom Petty..., the waiting is the hardest part.

1. I don't think you're deleting your grill. Deleting something else?

2. That looks great, please tell us what you did, and how you did it.

Then some of us will steal your idea for our cars.

I guess they are called grill deletes since the factory grill with the horse gets removed. I cut out the factory grill with a dremel and purchased the OEM style honeycomb grill found on ebay. Took me a few day to figure out a way to get the grill on without any visible signs that it was being held up with anything since the Goop used for the moldeable mesh grills wasn’t an option. I found some small sticky plastic brackets commonly used for cable stays. I put the sticky brackets around the inside of the grill and cut out the grill just enough to have some overlap on the back side and used small tie wraps to hold it into place. I’ll try and get a pic of the backside to show how it’s held up.

Yep, they're here:

Are these a significant upgrade over stock?

These are rated at 800HP so I guess you could say yes.

I remembered reading it in a couple places but I can’t find it. If I’m wrong I apologize, I didn’t buy them thinking they were high HP axles, bought them as a slight upgrade over the factory ones.

From what I can tell they are not optimal for hard launches on slicks but are very strong otherwise and claims of "handling" 800 hp on street tires is common.

Did you cut out each individual opening or grind down the back for the whole area until it broke thru?
