What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Rinzler]

Got it, thanks. Do you think a little camber might eliminate even the severe travel rubbing?

Possibly. I'll likely take it to a race shop to see if that's possible.

Installed a set of 2,000 mile 2019 Bullitt Recaros. Not sure I'm crazy about the green seat trim with the red paint but couldn't pass up the deal!

those are nasty. you can dye the green with a marker. they make dye markers. ive seen entire videos of people doing the entire trim of car stitching, just takes some time. be careful, id black them all out.

@Mikepol2 - Must be an ‘easy’ job to stain the thread black ?

‘Easy’ as in its got be easier to go black on a black seat compared to any other colour combo ?

Anyhow, hope you like them (I’m on Recaro’s )

Yep a black marker touchup job may be a spring project, got these installed just in time to park it in the garage for the winter. But they feel awesome!

They make a special dye pen, dont use a regular sharpie/marker. its a real black dye for fabric/stitch. may need touched up every couple years. but whatever. talking an hour possibly every 3-4 years ,

Nice find, I have been trying to find a pair for my Bullitt

Finished a trial installation of the lip spoiler, by slicing the ends at the trunk lid line and sticking the tips on the body. You can see how it looks. If you get too close you'll be able to see how my crafts skills have declined—an uneven split gap here and there.

There is an additional photo that includes the "Carbon Fiber" version. It might be a better fit, color tone-wise. That image was made before correcting the tap-removal damage, which I accomplished with a urethane glaze and a semi-OK brush. The glaze also went on the cut faces of the black lip installation, to good effect. The end-cover pieces don't seem right to me, so won't be used.

285's... are in... and they look SEXY. I remove the 5mm spacer on rear, and it sits PERFECT. they are finishing up the car now. I will post photos later, not the brightest/nicest day out and my new lug nuts dont arrive til Saturday, but at least the tires are mounted/where they are going to be. very happy. VERY HAPPY

I was hesitant going 285/35/19 over 275/40/19 but whatever, its different and I think it looks sporty even though I may of gained a hair of wheel gap

Got them for a trade for my seats plus $1000, cheaper than if they had come stock with the car. Sure wasn't going to pay $3000 like Ford Performance wants for their Recaros. They don't come available often so make sure you check daily and jump when you see 'em!

Doesn't look bad, different for sure. Subtle.

Quick question though, what's the little puck on the trunk lid?

Also check the GT350 forums. I got some used 350's for $2k.

my rubber came early. 285/35/19 front 19x9.5 offset 35, rear 19x9.5 offset 40. Im very happy with the fitment. The real lugnuts arrive Saturday.

Pretty happy with the fitment. Continental dsw06.
