What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Added the FP hood struts. No more 80’s rod-prop

Thanks. They are the Race Deck I think the material is called copolymers. I think you would be good installing them on a floor that isn't perfect. My garage floor in Colorado has a very slight tilt that aids in water draining. I actually wash my cars inside that garage. After 10 years, I haven't had any problems with them.

Same here. Bought my floor from a buddy that wanted to change up his garage. Per his recommendation, I make sure to put a piece of 1/2" plywood under the floor jack and each jack stand to prevent them from dimpling the floor.

Nonstop rain here since early morning. No mustang action today.

I am getting rained on at work for the first time in months.

I feel ya! In Ga also been going here since last night.

Poured like a bastard in OH basically 2 days straight. First time in a long time I had to use this mode on my Bullitt:

I've been waiting to hand wash this car for like 3 weeks now... I can't ever match some of the impressive cleans people sport here, not on a daily. :(

Good man. I did that within like a month of owning the car. I don't get why these still got a prop rod...

Mine regularly sat for 2-4wks even in winter and still started up fine.

Mine did too but I probably did 200 miles over last 2 months so that may have had an impact on it. I was baffled but will try to start it up tomorrow via jump

I know! Hood struts aren’t expensive, wouldn’t cost Ford much of anything ($20?). Our oldest car is a 2014 and it even has gas hood struts lol. Was pretty surprised the Mustang had a prop rod.

Next thing I'm really considering is the trunk popper struts...

Ha! Me too! Looks neat!

JLT Oil catch can installed, along with a Steeda boot struts. Honestly, if you now stand 'over' the boot, it might just knock you out - LOL

That was the thing just about everyone had said. But it pops open on all three opening types, right? Meaning fob, inside the car release and under-bumper-release?

And still fairly easy to close?

Yes, rather firm to close it.
Actually, I have not tried it with the fob. I guess I should. I actually avoid using the fob at all cost (cannot stand even having it on me). The inside button opens the boot just fine.

EDIT:
Fob opens the boot, no problem...

Still prefer stock with no-touch (of anything shiny or visible) one finger open or close.

I remember you (or someone) actually mentioning that you close the trunk by touching on the unexposed part and always wondered how that was done...

That's pretty sweet, but seems more for a car that always is polished (as your decklid seems). I put my Mustang through some work, so fingerprints will always be there to an extent...

Technically nothing but FedEx just stopped by!

Ordered on 4/21.

Damn those cars look awfully close to each other!!

Touche'. However, like today, walking up to the car with loads of bags, it was nice that the boot was fully opened for me to merely place the items in.
You know how we are, we want to pick up ALL the bags in one trip - LOL
