What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Blufc3s]

Looks good!

Hard to tell but surface looks smoother than factory. Did you smooth the surface before painting? How?

How did you get clean edges for the black?

It’s not that smooth, I just roughed them up wit a scrubbing pad, sprayed on adhesion promoter, and then the colour. If I were to do it again I would spray hi build primer on after the adhesion promoter, sand it with 400/600 and then the colour. The edges aren’t black, just a shadow.
Here’s some “instructions “ on how to do it...

It wasn’t what I did to my S550 today it’s what my daughter did to her S550. Gave her first bath before parking her in for the night

Installed Steeda front and rear adjustable sway bars and the Steeda G track brace. I only got pictures of the front. I was too worn out.

Wow what a difference it made. The car actually handles good now. Nice and flat in the corners. Makes the car feel much smaller if that makes sense. Highly recommended upgrade for the base GT and other models too I'm sure. Yes it rides noticeably stiffer, but not unbearably so. Kind of nice actually, more like a sports car.

I am reallly really really happy w/how these turned out...

Looks great. I'm very tempted to do this on my own car at some point.

Noice. How is it attached?

It is hold by a metric screw. This picture below isn't from the emblem i bought. I bought it for my 2019 ecoboost and i put it on my 2021gt . It is solid metal and identycal to the original. I bough it in "Wish" and it had the hole to screw but don't have the screw (in alliexpres it has, as you can se in the picture but i don't know if it is like mine)
where did you get this? Link please?

Today I installed Cardinal red Katzkin seat covers in my car. I've always wanted red interior but for one reason or another it never worked out.
The install itself was actually pretty easy. There are no hog rings on the 2020, just velcro and some snaps.
Passenger side came out perfect, rear upper seats perfect. Drivers seat and lower rears have some wrinkles. But not too bad. Definitely better than having someone install it. I saved at least $900 doing it myself.
I also installed a heated seat in the drivers side. My wife never rides in the car so no point wasting time on putting heat on the passenger side.

The kit also came with the door panel inserts. I would love to get those on but it looks like a pain.
I'll see about tackling that another time.

Some time in the sun should take care of those seat wrinkles.

I did the digital dash swap

Tired of the crazy brake dust from the OEM pads.....Had Steeda in Pompano Beach install the Hawk Performance Ceramic pads on the Pony this morning.

How are they? Nice bite?

I love how the OEM pads bite, but the dust is insane and I'm hard on the brakes.

Will be taking it through some aggressive braking tonight/tomorrow and will report back. Initial thoughts after a handful of miles about the same or a bit less bite.
