What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[BabyDoc1012]

Gave her a quick rinse with the foam cannon to get the pollen off. I’ll wait for her first bath until pollen season is over in NC.

Do yours fit flush with the body? Mine sit above by like 5/16 of an inch. Instill need to cut the center off some for a flush fit.

Went to the local Cars and Coffee. Found a friend to park next to. Anyone here?

That Mustang has no license plate.......

Well... I was pretty active today.

First I installed Steeda Full Length Jacking Rails. Easy job, although there was some underbody cover on the passanger's side on my 2019 Euro Spec EcoBoost.

Then I checked if there is "the plug" (you know which one) if I decide to add active exhaust at some point of my life

Then I checked how my new wheels will look like (still waiting for TPMS sensors):

And then I started with an installation of OEM Ford Performance GT500/Mach 1 spoiler. First thing that p****d me off was a template, that was shorter than actual trunk lid. Well, that meant taking the measurements over and over and over again, to place it in the middle. Also I spent a lot of time with masking tape.

Then I found out, that the whole spoiler is held in place just by 3M double sided tape and 4 tiny screws. As long as it was made by Ford, I somehow couldn't trust it, so I made this reinforcement plate out of a piece of aluminium that I found in the garage, cut a slice of rubber between the lid and this and finally drilled the holes and installed the spoiler.

After I installed the spoiler and tightened the nuts, I started to think about how to hide that awful gap between the decklid and the spoiler. So I got use of some more masking tape and black windshield polyurethane to seal the gaps.

And here is the final result after I got rid of the masking tape and polyurethane from my paint, hands, fingers, ears, neck, shoes... It was just everywhere

If I knew what it takes to install that spoiler properly, I would rather pay someone to do it for me Never ever

It had the temporary paper plate in the car. Not sure why they took it off

Depends on the state. Most states issue a new license plate every time the vehicle is sold (by dealership or private sale), so the plate is supposed to be removed when it's sold.

Put on some R325 wheels, pilot super sports, Drake Muscle splitter/side skirts/rear spats, Steeda g-trac brace, and UPR vertical links.


Dropped 13lbs at each corner or about 55lbs total which is damn good considering I also went wider at all corners.

5% Tint all the way around today. $265, but I had them remove the old 50% first. I'll gladly pay for someone else to remove it instead of me any day.

She’s gorgeous. I love it. I think the spoiler will look great. Please post pics.

This week, I marked five years of Mustang ownership.

Mine was one of three Race Red GT's being delivered that week. The car has become a symbol of happiness and and joy, I can definitely say I am more self confident and outgoing because of this car.

Some of my favorite pics -

The Mustang still ticks all the boxes for me, the longer I have it the more and more I don't think I could be without it.

Did you use the ford performance unit?

nope, J&L which was JLT i think

I did these a while back. One day I noticed they looked like a screen shot of the Matrix. Approx 3 months I believe.
I sealed mine quite well, as I didnt trust the loose O ring. I belive its the LEDs .. or more likely undersized current limiting resistors. They were great about just sending me a new pair after a photo. Going forward, they want $10 postage for additional replacement sets. Apparently lifetime 'warranty' for original owner. I kept the originals, and will likely just put an LED bulb in em when these die again :( diode dynamics are just too much, esp. after conversion to CDN. They are the VPMOTOZ, seller Cherry Supreme on Amazon.

Well for the low price I'm not too concerned. I don't drive much at night and my car is not a daily driver so I will likely get more life out of them. I agree that Diode Dynamics are too expensive, they also don't look as nice as these.

I agree, they are nicer looking. Im going to see if adding a resistor in series to further limit current will help.

Weather picked up. So quick wash and wax to get all the salt and grit off. Week before last = hotter than Spain. Then this week just gone = 0ºC and snow.

And the sun came out for the last one.

But I do have some parts coming soon! Steeda rear vertical links ordered along with their full subframe base pack. I also have the MP Concepts GT500 spoiler with gurney flap at the bodyshop as we speak; so I can't wait to get that fitted. I've gone with kona blue for the spoiler and gloss black on the flap, to hopefully tie in with the gloss black on the deck lid.

Love deep blue on those option wheels. All it needs is the red interior.
