What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Well, the tires I got a good deal on so didn't think the 255's would fit up right to a 9 -1/2" wheel. I would have liked a square set-up, but... maybe next time.

I will ask about a performance-oriented camber setting. Thinking my dealer may have never heard of it LOL. Does it require plates? or adjustable's?

Not really ready for autocross or track. Thinking about the strip this summer though.

i took advantage of a generous offer and sold it to Vroom. i have my eyes on a dealer demo 2020, fully loaded GT350 (9K miles) and a 2021 Mach 1 HP.

Did you have any problems with getting a check from Vroom for your car? I've only read mostly negative reviews about them, so I wanted to know for sure.

Got accused of carjacking my mustang earlier. I was in wrong place wrong time, I was hanging out by my car, I was messaging a friend waiting on her.

a nosey neighbor, 2am, called the cops accused me being peeping Tom/car jacking. Then gunshots went off a few neighborhoods away.

cops came 6 deep, I was in my car, surrounded me. They thought I stole the car etc…

I didn’t resist and I didn’t get shot. Imagine that. As soon as they realized it was not me. They already had other cars looking for an actual car jacker that shots fired happened few blocks away.

crazy wrong place wrong time

Picked up from the detailer Tuesday afternoon. I'd forgotten how much shine was really there and the attention it gets from onlookers. Big shout out to Precision Detailing in Lafayette, LA!

Good to know. Hopefully, I can get mine on this weekend. Any special trick or tips or issue to be aware of before the adventure begins (I'm trying to think of one mod I've done that went easy and as planned)?

Outside of all the screws and plastic pins holding the gurney on it wasn't hard. There's two clips that have to be pulled once you're in, the outside temp bulb and a wire bundle. They are just those press in clips. Then pull the two bumper nuts and wedge the bracket in and on those bolts, it's a tight fit. Snug it down, don't tighten it yet, you will need to wiggle it around to get the tow hook shaft to line up with a hole thru your grill. The hole in your grill will need to be reamed out a little. I used a dremel tool. Go slow and remove a small amount of material at a time. Test fit often. Once lined up, tighten it all down. Don't forget the locktite on the bolt for the hook. Outside of the steeda clutch spring I'd say this has been one of the easiest mods so far. Just takes time due to all the fasteners and screws. I'd say an hour total.

Sweet. Thanks much. An hour, so probably not quite a half day for me !

I also picked up the camera mount for the tow hook, so there's another fly in the ointment.

I’ve heard this bolt is a one time use but never could find a reference. I do know there wasn’t any type of Loctite applied on the threads. Torqued mine to 35 ft lbs with a new bolt to error on the safe side.

Mine came loose after a day of driving luckily I was close to home. Ordered a new bolt today $3.18 definitely worth the peace of mind.
Update: Got bolt next day comes with washer and blue loctite on threads

Installed the ZL1 tow hook. Went on pretty easy.

This looks great. I am assuming this is functional too, in case a tow is needed. Can you share the installation instructions and sourcing information?

You know what they say about after midnight ...

Two posts up is his reply to my request for the same info. It's a ZL1 Addons tow hook. When I got mine, there were no instructions included. When I emailed them, they (ZL1 Addons) told me there are plenty of videos on YouTube. All of the videos show removing the bumper, but ZL1 was adamant that the bumper does not need to come off.

I'm attempting mine this weekend. I'll try and get some pics and do a follow-up.

Installed a MBRP resonater delete xpipe on my stock GT350 exhaust on my GT today.
If anyone wants to know,, GT350 exhaust fits and sounds great on a Coyote. You just have to use adapter clamps to neck it down to fit the stock Coyote headers. But, I actually welded a sleeve around the ends of my headers to fill the gap then clamped them on.

Installed a resonator delete H-pipe on my stock GT today. Sound loud and deep.

I think i will have the car start only in silent mode in the morning.
