What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Pardon my ignorance, what's the point of this? Is it visual, or are you guys having issues with these? Honest question, not trying to be smart.

Mostly visual, but I wash my car often, as it doesn’t spend time in the garage. I started to notice some weathering of those parts, and I was hoping this would help.

heres the link for the ronin plug:

I tested out my fender mats today. I went old school in hopes that I can force myself to pony up for a 31-35 real steel Ford coupe with a flat head V8…. Someday.

Are these a Two Sides tape stick on and not bolted?

Yes 3m tape

After several KAM resets, the car is still stuck thinking it's full of ethanol. So until I replace the tuner device, I'm stuck with having to run e85 all the time.

I made the trip tonight and filled up with e85. Car feels normal again. Sounds normal again.

Thanks.
Did it from the drivers seat with wheel in place. Yes lots of patience ! I just took my time and took a few breaks.

Totally looks great, definitely looks Pro-wrapped. You could prob make some side cash doing that on an exchange basis.

As of late, '19 Bullitt, '19 CA Special Race Red conv. Traded both for the '20 GT350 HEP + cash because I wanted another Voodoo before they went away. Voodoo being a manual, went away after major surgery that sadly leaves me unable to shift gears. Bought the '21 Mach 1 from Zack @ Granger. Sold it for cash profit last month. Immediately ordered the car in my sig from Zack/Jay @ Granger. When one reaches their mid 70's, health wise what worked fine one day does not the next.

Hmm. So you made profit by flipping a Mach 1 and then ordered another '21 GT premium coupe? Mach 1 is the ideal car for me (being so track ready but not stupid power & low MPG), so unless I hated the color I could not have done that.

Now I feel like I need two wash buckets on wheels…. Nice setup

The stock plug makes a bit of a mess because of no way to really modulate it. I will find out how much easier the UPR plug makes it next oil change...



Lethal wants $28 to ship that which makes no sense. Better to buy direct from UPR via their eBay store, it's $10 less than Lethal and free shipping:

Be warned, a few people on here have reported the magnet on the end of the UPR plug falling off into the oil pan after a little while. I definitely wouldn't use it after seeing pictures of that. I just buy a new drain plug every few changes, its like $7.

A four post hoist in the garage makes life much easier, and they ar3 not that expensive

$4,000 lift vs $120 oil change.... HMMMMM.... Tough choice there

I bought it off Ebay, the quality was decent, but they said they needed to do some light body work to make the surface even for painting. For the paint and install it was $275. The spoiler itself was $140. The fitment is perfect.

The OEM is 500 with shipping. Sorry, but you saved ~$80 on a cheap spoiler. Bought one from eBay I did send it back. Some of my friends did the same thing. The quality of the eBAy one is just tragic in my opinion.

+ you get the gurney flap with the OEM.

My aftermarket subwoofer was causing the parcel shelf to rattle and buzz against the rear window. You could see it flapping about. A sign that the sound pressure could not get from the trunk into the car easily. Putting the seats down, the parcel shelf would stop rattling. Audio measurements confirmed about a 3 to 5db loss in bass. I did not want to keep the seats down so I bought a hollow punch set and used an 8mm hollow punch to remove the thick carpet over the holes that were already in the panel. Removed the pathetic Ford speakers and zip tied the connectors in case I need to hook them up in the future. You can't see the holes when sitting in the car and due to the window tint they are difficult to see from outside the car. This is a cheap and easy fix to allow the subwoofer (and speakers) to breath. I can feel the sub now, not just hear it. Definitely recommended.

I actually have some rattles with the base too! Maybe this will help me out. Putting this on my list.

Yeah, the 5.0 engines take 10qts. If you do synthetic, gets pricey. I thought my 110-140 bills per oil change were pricey, but apparently not.

Can you share a link to the plug? Does it make oil change faster/easier?



How do I get these friends? Seriously though, how does one find these? Here on the forum?

Ha. lol i got lucky. The one with the Mach 1 is my neighbor. He is a big muscle car guy. He also has a 2009 Ford Shelby 500. His son has a 2017 Ford GT350 and their friend has a 2019 Bullit. They encourage me to get back to my love of mustangs. The rest is history.
