What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[StangTime]

Well yeah it is my daily and go out of town car so ... go out of town every weekend car 6/7/8 hour drives each way or more if I feel like exploring or getting lost in a nice state. This is why I ride solo because I can bust a U, take another exit, drive however I wanna drive, listen to my music, and enjoy the road. I got no one to annoy me on the passenger seat or someone that nags about how I drive my car. Good times

Sounds like my kind of pure bliss!
I wish I had nice places to drive to like that. I would be racking up the miles in that case.

What's the MAX Ford say's is OK for the Stang? .031" seems like a lot to me?

I don't know of a Ford spec. Wheel specialist said .031 is general spec for max. IOW you might feel vibration when it exceeds that.

Additional info ...
I thought my smooth riding car might have suddenly developed the dreaded drive shaft vibration. But I took it to a tire shop for a free balance check first and that's where we noticed a wobble in 2 of the 4 wheels. Then AWRS fixed them. Runout started at about .25".

These are Enkei roller forged wheels and I don't recall hitting anything.

This work good for me

What I SHOULD have thought of was to use my Bosch 1/4" router. It would have delivered perfect results.

After i hit 5000km on my eco-green Bullitt, i rinsed it off and put some wax on.

Yeah I thought about that ..but just did not want to get anywhere next to the hexagon holes and accidentally cut into them . Did you do the whole entire grill?

This comment's been made before, but there's a LOT of us that have the digital dash and a purple/green combination cluster. It just really works!

Well I would have put on my large 5" round base. Then I would have set the cutting depth to just barely remove the backside blanked off material. And I would have left the perimeter of the area intact so as to give the base a reference plane. Then I would just saw off the remaining perimeter.

I only did this for the two end triangle areas because I installed orange BigMouth ducts. I do not believe in opening up anything more of the main grille because there is no radiator being the blank portions.

I just did not like how all the bugs would get stuck in the grill .Especially the gloss black .

Small but a nice touch; i picked up accent rubber mats for the doors, cup holders, and center tray!

It is official that I have lost my mind. I ordered a set of these to mount my extra tires on.

You can sand it off from the back to keep the OE look :

cutting them out was toooooo daunting to get it clean. Always someone has a brilliant idea ... thanks!

And I'm more worried about a bird, so I wanted the grid intact.

And me with a gaping hole there haha!! Currently budgeting to redo the entire nose with a Mach 1 bumper but likely years away still lol. Not super happy with how it is now but oh well.
