What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[danny0441]

Turn up the volume. 7 seconds in, the car in front of me rolls over what appears to be a crowbar and shortly thereafter, my front passenger tire runs over it and it kicks up and hits the passenger door.

thats what that noise was everyone's always dropping and leaving shit in the street ive seen a dumpster and ladder on the highway and just the other day a machete in the middle of an intersection

Jesus, lol. A whole ladder? Damn man. Yeah I heard it when I was behind the car but didn't see it until I reviewed the footage. About a month ago when I got my Roush fascia, I ran over a tire in the middle of the highway at night time. It had been about 20 minutes since I picked it up at the shop and that tire had fucked up my reverse light, front fog light, and also my splitter. Just annoying as hell.

Red caliper vinyl installed. Yes vinyl. 3M 7mil high temp reflective vinyl. Should be normal red 90% of the time, but when the light hits it just right, it glows. Cool stuff. Still iffy on the hash marks. I was waiting to see how it would compliment the calipers.

Calipers are overheating!

Interesting look. First impression is that it looks pretty nice.

Thanks. I was really worried about this being cheesy or tacky, but I think it still looks nice. It's subtle enough. If I end up hating it, I peel it off. Win win for $40...

I-95 in South Florida is horrible for random shit just being on the road. I've seen ladders, shovels, buckets, a Semi's entire wheel just laying flat in the middle of a lane. It's a terrible road with awful drivers that don't tie their shit down, and don't care about anyone else on the road.

Installed Ford Racing Strut Tower brace. I'm no mechanic but it only took 20-30 minutes to install. Did not need to remove wipers or battery to get it installed. Thanks to Mustang6G readers for tips on how to skip those steps. Lost another stupid battery cover clip though. Those things are sneaky.

Manley Pistons, and rods came in.

Dropped him off at the dealership. I've been having some steering wheel, body wobble around the 40mph, 80mph + range. I had the wheels balanced and the car aligned after putting the new wheels on. There has been minimal driving since purchase, no rough or crazy driving. I bought the car in Feb, and only have 3300 miles on him. I wasn't sure if it was an engine or mechanical problem, or the wheels/tires. The dealership did say they would have to put stock wheels back on the car, and start there. Hopefully this is something that can be solved fairly easy without costing me. I would hate to have serious work done on the engine, but would welcome warranty work more than having to deal with new wheels/tires.

Taking it to drop off at the body shop for the front bumper and passenger fender to be repaired again!!! Will pick it up in about a week and a half when we get back from a cruise. The powdercoat the wheels and start doing more mods. It will stay bubble wrapped in the garage most of the time as people can't stop running into it in parking lots...

Technically last night, but I installed the Steeda billet aluminum IRS Bushings. Took me way longer than projected but I learned a few things along the way. I will have more details on my build page.

My wheel stripes / bands are done in reflective red.......like you said, regular red 90% (or more) of the time but when someone takes a picture at night it catches them off guard. We get a lot of tourists in Orlando from all over the world, quite a few people take pics of the car. One European dude asked me if he could take a pic of the car with his son by it last weekend (while I was sitting in it in a parking lot) at night, he was shocked when the picture on his phone showed him the wheels glowing neon red and asked me about it lol (reactions like that is mainly why I did it)

Nice. I doubt I'll run into much of that, but people will certainly see it through intersections! Definitely a cool look. Like them a lot on your wheels too.

Thanks, yea intersections / when headlights hit mine they look like a shiny orange metal reflective ring but dont have the neon glowing effect like a video LED / camera flash does. Originally I was going to do the calipers just the way you did them, but I was not confident in the install myself and the only shop that would even bother doing it wanted $150 for the install. They look great on your car though, so maybe one day I will try to tackle it
