What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[HoosierDaddy]

- got a code for fuel pressure
- active exhaust shorted out (stuck in track mode)
- got 0-60 down to 4.84

Can you post a DIY to create that short for people who complain they have to manually switch to track mode every start?

Not long after I bought the car in 2015, I decided I didn't like the glossy black decklid panel because it was hard to keep clean. So I replaced it with the MMD flat black panel. While I was swapping the blade spoiler for a GT350 Track Pack spoiler last week, I decided the flat black panel needed to go. So I started looking around for a new panel and landed on a "faux" carbon fiber panel from Ikon Motorsports. I found it on Amazon for $79.99. With free Prime shipping and easy Amazon returns, I jumped on it. It came in yesterday and today I installed it. It seems to be a well made quality piece. The MMD panel had not required the screw inserts and the Ikon panel didn't come with them. Luckily I didn't toss the OEM panel but I did have to do a little digging in the garage to find. Once I swapped in the inserts, it was an easy install. I like the way it looks but we'll see if the faux CF finish hold's up.

Installed the Steeda GT500 Swing. I have some Air Designs Gloss Black Hood Vents to install tomorrow or Tuesday.

How’s the quality on the ikon lip? Self explanatory install? Looks nice and I like the price.

I used short self taps and washers. The two outter most bolts on each side of the bumper line up with the holes on the lip. Once I had those fastened, I used my self taps then. Super easy. Took me 30 mins

I'll piggy back the last two posts with a rear end shot. Took out the newer style taillights that came with my 350R. The previous owner was thoughtful enough to leave the originals in a box in the trunk. Other than esthetics, is there any reason to use the newer style taillights? I kind of prefer the OEM 350 look.

Installed my stainlessworks redline active exhaust with the h pipe, got this for a steal on American muscle for $300 bucks open box deal as it was most likely a typo. Only thing wrong is the tips are a little scratched etc, may cut and weld new ones on but you can barely notice. May buy a corsa double helix and have that cut and installed instead of the H pipe.

Ordered a SCT BDX device since it was on sale for $319 plus a $45 rebate. Will be ordering a flex fuel tune soon. Excited and scared to soon be voiding the warranty on a brand new car

Lol. Had the same apprehension a couple weeks ago but did it anyways. You’ll get over it quick once you get that new tune loaded. I did!

I can be pretty forgetful about stuff, so I ordered these Velcro patches awhile ago and put them on now that I am running E85, just to make sure I don’t ever make a whoopsie and fill up with the wrong fuel. Have a ‘93 ONLY’ patch as well that I can just peel and stick on when I go back to 93.

Brilliant!! I could totally make the same mistake. Source for them please.

I just got them from Amazon, lol. You can customize them to say whatever you’d like.

Don’t be a tease. How’s you get is so cheap? There are no free lunches, but yeah, I’m jelly. That’s about .50 cheaper per gallon than I pay for E85.
