What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Bit_the_Bullitt]

and now , for something completely different ..

teeth grill lights up

oh, you know you wanna ... lol

I understand that looks and mods are very subjective, but there's an S550 owner near me here that has the teeth (not light up that is) and they just make the car look horrendous IMO.

A cheap and easy 5 minute mod in the garage while I wait for the outdoor temperature to go up:

Amazon.ca VPMOTOZ side markers for $40 CDN. Terrible reviews all complaining of the LED's slowly burning out. BUT I believe that is because these don't seal very firmly with the o-ring on the factory plug. I used some black epoxy to seal it. If they last a couple years I will be happy. They look so good on or off!

Hope these last for you. Had a cheaper pair myself and it burnt out within 6 months taking the stock light housing with it.

Curious about this. Can you upload a quick vid?

TIA

I think there's already a vid on YT on this. I've attempted this via removed air box on the Bullitt and it was a PITA, but at least it doesn't sound like a clown car now. It seems OP went through the wheel well, which is what I'd recommend you do.
What should have been a 30min install took me about 2 hrs, with complimentary not and bolt drop into the worst crevices.

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.

Dang. That's a decent deal! Had a local shop (that did my full 18 Accord before I traded it) quote me $100 for just the rear window. He said they're hard to get to, but seemed like a lot.

Fitted ALS front parking camera

Can you please post some details, pics, etc? I've gotten used to the long hood of the Bullitt and parking carefully, but would love to find out more about this.
Unless it's for lane keep, like LKAS?

Probably. When my Ford dealer told me that their mechanic installed a spoiler few months ago, lost nut in the trunk lid and spent another day retrieving it, I decided to do it myself

Pretty arrogant to assume you could get the lost nut out in less than a day.

And if you get a chance ask that mechanic how he got the nut out. Asking for a friend.

I think I'd leave it there as a feature and call it RattleSnake

He slammed the lid so the nut got closer to the hole, then lifted the decklid slightly, stuck in endoscope camera and spent the rest of the day fishing it - with fishing hook attached to a cable. He said it didn't work for him, so he made a small ball out of a duct tape, attached it to the end of the cable and pushed it against the nut so it sticked, then lowered the decklid and pulled it out. He said that next time, he just drops a drop of superglue to the end of the table, waits untill it sticks and pulls it out ;)

New SVE wheels MHP1 arrived today!

 

[NICK5.0]

Update, one of the wheels came scraped/scratched :/

They look good! However, that almost looks like someone had them mounted, scraped and repaired. Or maybe just damaged in handling from factory, since it's clearly been professionally repaired?

 

[compprep]

it's clearly been professionally repaired?

I beg to differ on the "Professionally" repaired! Better than I would do, but......

I guess I've never seen a pre- and post-repair picture on nice rims, especially from that up close and I didn't notice it at a first glance. Def better than what I'd do. But hey, if you paid someone for it, then it's technically "professional," right?

Has to be from factory, I bought them the day they released from LMR. They are working on replacing that wheel.

I left mine as a feature. I mean my friend did. He tried tape on a coat hanger wire as well as a magnet. I'll suggest he try the super glue method.

There are several options out there. The one I fitted interfaces with the LCD screen and is activated by a touch of the return button on the steering wheel for about 6 secs and stays on until you turn it off or put car in reverse. It’s made by ASL and cost about $900 bills AUD. I’ll take a few photos and post so you can see install. You can choose where you put camera and which camera you use. I opted for a small unit, would have liked to get camera fitted in the honeycomb of the grill but I did not end up with that. You’ll see from photos when I post them.

Professional= getting paid to do something for a living.
Doing something for a living does not mean that you are good at it.

This implies everyone that has a paid job is a "Professional". If so I'd say 80% (maybe more) of Professionals are not good at whatever they are being paid. Kinda splitting hairs here.

Mine is much the same system but made by Advanced Ice. Reverts to on again when going from forward/reverse and forward again. Turns off once over 20kph and on engine shutdown. I mounted mine in the lower grill where it seems to be best positioned for the likely impact points.
