What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Solteka]

After uploading a revised tune from PD Tuning on my car earlier today, I did datalogging hours later with my COBB AccessPort and sent them the logs to analyze.

The car pulls really well in the upper rpm ranges now and drives butter smooth, now the car gives out a peak boost of 23.XX PSI before settling down to around 21.XX PSI during WOT.


After all that was done I gave the car a good wash on the exterior, wiped and vacuumed the interior:

Was disgusted by the engine cover atrocity on my 2020.

So, ordered the Bullitt "fuel rail covers", then did a big trim of the factory cover only retaining the center section.

Also did a sound tube delete while I was there.

Thoughts?

And, while I was there, I plasti dipped the tops of the headlights. No reason to light up under the hood.

How much are the Bullitt fuel rail covers?

@Chef jpd I dig the look. It would be really cool with your lime green color on the cover(instead of blue) and have either lime green accents like text on the rail covers or have the body of the rail cover in Lime Green with black text/logo.

Just a thought...

How's your ammo supply, notice extra mags were empty. Getting tough in my area

Spent a few minutes irritating the Gray Car with pieces of my supply of Orange Reflective Vinyl Tape. Thinking about striping it one way or another. Possibilities are unlimited.

I had some difficulty getting painter's tape to stick on the slick modern surface treatment. Just imagine the tape isn't there. Imagine, as well, there are two of the wide—four inch—stripes a couple of inches apart. Or more than two. Or the wide ones and the narrow ones—3/4 inch—in exchanged locations. Or the narrow ones only, or the wide ones only. Or one wide one down the middle with an arrow point made with wide tape, angling over the fender tops to a spot above the wheel centers. (Fearless John Surtees tribute?)

So far, I like it best with no stripes. Haven't tried the quarter- and eighth-inch pinstripe widths, yet.

They were $125, but included those big hoses that lay on them (which are not needed)

looks great with out

 

[shogun32]

would 20mm make them flush in front? (19x9.5 20mm)

basically, yes.

I should go to the Capital Gun Show and sell some out of the trunk like it's contraband or something...

wide strip and 1 or 2 narrows centered on the driver - aka within the boundary of the right vent. Possibly mirrored on the other side. Look at some of the Mopar (Challenger) schemes.

Thank you for your message.

Back in the 1960s I put an asymmetrical stripe on an Austin-Healey, but placed it to the right side so at normal driving perspective, where it disappeared over the front edge was an indication of where the front tire on that side was traveling. It looked and worked OK, but I didn't do it on any subsequent cars, which says something.

Thanks again for the suggestions.
