What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[GR1MxREAPER]

Got the wheel spacers on finally. 275/35/19 fronts 295/35/19 rears. The rear is super close but it doesn’t hit thankfully lol.. it makes the car look amazing with the Eibach lowering springs.

New shoes. Got 27k out of the OE Pirellis. Also ditched the single-use OE lug nuts for some solid ones. Discount Tire was crowded like a nightclub, but they busted it out in just under an hour.

Thank you for your business!

Wire tapped for radar detector and blend mounted it. Pain but looks so clean

Great stance! However, if those are the performance pack wheels that came from factory 9 inch fronts and 9. 5 inch wide wheels on the back, 285 is the max on a 9.5 wheel.... from what I've been told. I wouldn't push it too much. Be safe.

Discount tire will only install tires rated for the wheels you have. The 295 is rated for a 9.5” as you can see it it’s specs..

Cool. Tirerack peeps gave me different info. I want to go 305 rears....but will have to get wider wheels apparently.

Their main vinyl installer came in and took one look at the job and went "Nope" and walked out. I guess the vinyl from @BigWormGraphix isn't 3M or (can't remember) so they only get one crack at installing something about "if it doesn't go on just right it's trashed".

They had to call their more experienced (and more costly) installer who came in and took a look and said he "could do it but it would take time".

I can do Big Worm dual stripes myself except for the hood. The spherical shape gets me every time. I pay a pro just for that pair.

While I believe anyone can learn to do anything (youtube has helped me develop adequate landlord repair skills LOL) I firmly believe that when it comes to my baby I'd rather hire the people who know EXACTLY what they are doing. I want the guy that walks in and says "I got this" and not the guy who walks in and says "I think I can do this".

I figured since they were doing my Ceramic AND PPF, and they stated they can do Vinyl, I would try them out. We will see what the end result is. I'll either by carrying their card around in my car for those Mustang meets or I won't. Ya know?

I was not criticizing or bragging.
BW Hexis stripes are fairly forgiving to install. I've done them both wet and dry. It's not that hard on the flat areas but the hood is hopeless for me.

It is not easy to find an experienced installer that doesn't also want $400+ in labor.

No worries Sir. I don't take it personally LOL guys that get offended about stuff like that usually need to assert themselves due to other reasons. My install skills aren't up to par and I don't want my first time to be on an expensive sports car. Ya know? My props to you for being able to do it.

I think the one installer that walked away was $195.00 CAD. I have no idea what the other guy and his wife (they are a duo team apparently) will be charging but that is coming out of the PPF/Ceramic/Vinyl shop's cost as they said they would honour my original quote.

I hear it all the time at shows (I love the louver). And the carbon fiber

Some louvers. Not for everyone, but man, do they look cool!

Added second layer of exhaust wrap over the old layer. It also reaches further forward and back on the pipes. Stainless gear clamps for reliability. Also put in 140wt gear oil.

Single use lug nuts?

Single use lug nuts?

Another way of saying the OEM lug nuts don't hold up well to R&R with an impact gun.
