I had to clean some feathers and some specks of blood off my bumper after this silly bird didn’t get out my way.

I just seen him at the last second and hit the brakes…he flew away with minor damage (I hope).
Thankfully no damage to the Mustang.

Not to start an oil thread but does Ford recommend the 5w-30 for previous model years now as well?

LOL!!

When I had my prior 2016 S550, my upper front grille somehow captured a bat.. did not even know until I saw it next day coming out to the car in daylight...

I doubt it, but If so, they would probably put a TSB out to the dealerships. Anyone know of such a TSB?

What the problem with them? I have been looking at these but not if it's going to trigger my OCD.

They sit in too deep in the car so the top inside corners aren't flush with the center trunk panel anymore like the stock ones.

Ah, ok. I think I have seen people use plastic spacers or rubber washers on the bolts to shim them out. Maybe give that a try sometime?

If you're OCD then using some weather stripping or foam at the top to push them out won't work, correct??

Here's what I mean. And yeah I can probably stuff some foam or weather stripping one way or another but didn't have any on me. I'll try that down the road if it keeps bothering me
