What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Ghost50]

Worry not boys!!! I found some spare 7mm flange fender screws that’s turned out to be the exact same!!! Not sure if the length is the same but it worked so... yay!

nice! Good stuff - glad you got it fixed up.

I don’t think anything is under the coin tray so why they were missing is weird. Unless for some reason Ford had taken the console off before you bought it.

I took the car on a short spin to the corner store to see how it was with driving - I like the placement a lot and the USB hook up worked great.

So busy weekend...Whipple installed, Cervinis hood installed, new Project6rg wheels and tires put on...phew I am whipped. Stripes on the hood tomorrow or Tuesday

Wow. I love that hood. Great job.

Go to tractor supply, NAPA, ACE, and on & on a screw is a screw ... Looks like that rig with the toy jammed in it, will be in the way of the fun toggles.

Can't live without the silly cell phone ? What a shame, get a hobby LOL

It doesn’t interfere with the toggles really. Particularly the drive mode one since it’s on the end. The other three yeah you’d have to reach around the back of the phone.

For me I did not want a window mount holder nor one that clamped or stuck to the dash. This one looks clean.

because I didn’t have a holder previously I found myself fiddling around for my phone when on google maps. This way I don’t have to do that. Totally worth the $27 bucks or whatever.

I bought mine "new"...

I'll explain, I picked my car but when I went to go buy it they had already sold it, so I found another car at a different dealer but owned by the same company, so I was about to go over there and buy it but the dealer told me don't worry about it we can bring it over here.

Okay so next day I go back to the dealer to purchase the car and I'm in the finance department and I notice the VIN number isn't the same one from the one I saw online.

The one I picked out had mag ride and safe and secure pack or whatever it's called.

Instead they brought me one without mag ride but it has the b&o Audio -- so I said okay fine it's close enough. Both were black, red interior, pp1. So I agreed. Then I noticed this one had over 1000 miles on it. So I started getting suspicious. Oh well I thought it's only 1000 miles how bad can it be.

Long story short, dealer did a bait and switch.

Luckily car hasn't had any issues, but I did find the battery cover without the push screws and recently found them down among the engine wiring. And now I find that the screws for the coin tray are missing.

So I have no idea what the dealer did but it's obviously they fucked around with something and forgot to put everything back.

My theory is one of the staff or manager was using my car as his daily driver, maybe the battery died, maybe they lost a key?? Idk. I know the f150s have a key reprogram slot in the center console. I don't know if the mustang does as well? If not then I have no idea why they would remove the coin tray.

I wouldn't pay for the screws and the pushpins for the battery, its not your fault. go see your saleman. at the sometime ask for touchup paint for free.

Carbon fiber driveshaft

How much throttle response did you notice, any vibration?

I would love a carbon fiber one, but the extra 2 lbs isn't worth almost double the price. But I would like the little extra give it has,

This thing is dope!

Technically not today, but needed to let it cure overnight to take proper daylight shots for comparison purposes...

Spent four hours yesterday painting my wheels shadow black satin finish using Hyperdip (auto-specific formula of Plastidip).

Usually I'm not a fan of blacked out wheels, but with the dark blue and black rag top, it definitely was the right move on this car. I hated the color of the wheels since day one. It was literally the only negative I had about this car when I bought it.

Before:

After:

Next up: I'll be painting the calipers and center cap ponies matching metallic green G2 paint to go with the stripes. I'm also de-badging the decklid by replacing it with this special edition Scott Drake decklid. It's got a really sleek curvature and is also way more scratch resistant than the factory one.

Installed the blowfish on a rainy Monday. Won’t be able to test it till the road dries.

 

[Linkster1666]

First claybar after the Beauty Shop prior to ceramic coat in the a.m. Clay's a nasty pink now and thanks for tossing the decklid across the shop guys, I appreciate that.
