What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[coz0502]

I started teaching my 15-year-old about appreciation for the things he has and taking care of them. We opted to wash the GT and give her a good exterior detailing prior to the hood and new spoiler going on (and stripes if @BigWormGraphix get here by the time the hood arrives)!

EDIT: Yes I spoke to him about dragging the towel. Give your self some peace and unclench!

Well done! I remember when I was that age and my father said to me, "Son, you'll probably never have the best / most expensive car on the road, but you can have the cleanest. Probably why I keep my car(s) in good shape 30 something years later.

My dad always brags about his '62 Corvette, "black on black, 327 with mechanical lifters" ya de da de da. Now when I take him for a ride in the Mustang he looks for the Oh Shit Handle LOL. But yes, I learned a lot of lessons about cars from my Dad. You can't buy that kind of knowledge transfer!

Snapped this the other night after dinner.

Today I removed the black pony from my rear deck lid and replaced it with the black GT badge that came with the car. When I installed the Bullitt grille last year to get rid of those stupid fangs, I didn’t want to give up the pony, so I moved it to the rear. I didn’t realize at the time that the Ecoboosts are badged with a pony in the back. Now the GT is back where it belongs and my next job is

to figure out how to glue a pony to the Bullitt grille.

I go back and forth what I like more. The Bullitt and GT/CS grill, or the pony (and 5.0 badges).

I kind of like the “sleeper“ look, but the pony is so iconic.

Upgraded the stock B&O sub-woofer (if you can call it that) with a Pioneer one in my 2022

Can you post a link where you got it from, please? Thinking of swapping mine, too. Thx

I got it from Crutchfield. There may be other places that sell it as well.

I wanna go Bullit grille and GT/CS, black 5.0 badges and the blank trunk panel. I wanna delete as many badges as I can. Plus I wanna get the AWE touring exhaust with black tips so that they will kinda disappear against the rear diffuser.

I’m really considering taking off the GT/CS stickers on the side. I’m good with the grill and rear deck emblems.

Car looks good with the stickers, but agree, I like the minimum pieces of flair

Is a dual rate springs the same as the progressive lowering springs? Your car is beautiful by the way! Love my Oxford white as well.

No, a dual-rate spring is solely designed to have two different spring rates throughout the entire coil pack. In turn, it allows the suspension compression to gradually compress through its compression cycle, giving a more stable and inspiring driving experience.

The Progressive Springs will have a constantly increasing rate, which relates to the spacing between each coil on the spring itself.

Let me know if I can help assist at tim @ steeda

Best Regards,

TJ

I love it. Been trying to teach my 7yr old the same. He wants to help wash the mustang but my training ground is the Excursion with bad paint and….shhh the wife’s car. Teaching the young ones to appreciate the desire to take care of something is a lost art. My kids are not those of “well I didn’t pay for it”. Kudos to you and your son!

Oh and I do preach as well if it touches the ground it doesn’t touch the car lol (even with bad paint).

Finally got my new MHP1 wheels and a set of staggered nittos on the GT!

Pollen season winding down, was more than a wash job .... clay bar worked wonders getting paint smooth again.

New Makita cordless polisher was awesome. Going from a porter cable (which is really great) I was surprised what I was missing. Makita is beautifully balanced, and a one handed machine on flat surfaces in random orbit. Really works fast on random orbit. In forced rotation mode you need 2 hands - can really feel the torque. On side panels, due to weight, its a 2 hander. Used 2 5AH batteries, one till it stopped, and one to 1 bar lit. Buffed slow and thorough, also another pad to apply ceramic based detailer. Back to a mirror finish,

5w30 Mobile 1.

Feels great getting something positive accomplished.


annnnd ordered Katskins cardinal red with black stitch and piping
likely a couple weeks before it gets here and I have time to get to it,

Got this piece of paper in the mail. It said “2022 no payments for you!”
