Normally I would agree with you, but this thread has gone on seven pages, with myriad suggestions, and he just keeps telling everyone why their advice won't work for him. Plus, some of his explanations for why an idea won't work are a little suspect. Hell, a good chunk of suggestions here he has...

Right. And you just told me why they require that. You made it sound like you could easily afford 1.5-2K rent, and if that was the case, that means you should be saving at least that much every month right now. Which you just said you are not. Unless there are somehow expenses you have right...

That's all fine, but in that case, I think you just explained why no landlord would ever lease you a place with $1500-2000 rent...

If you "easily" have $1.5-2K available to pay rent, and you currently are not paying rent, that means you're saving at least that much every month, right? Presumably more considering all the utilities you would have to pay as well... If you stash that away in a brokerage account, maybe sticking...

"literally" lol I know this process is quite expensive and painful in some other cars (such as my Cayman), no matter which direction you're going. I'm surprised to learn that it's simple here, apparently even if you're going from manual to power seats? Anyway, I'll take the L on this one. TIL.

Hah, fair enough. That is a beautiful config. Speaking as a fellow owner of a yellow 5.0 S550 with a manual (and the leather sofa seats), I fully understand your attachment. I absolutely love Daisy, and even I forget how much I like my build sheet sometimes. I meant no offense, carry on, and I'm...

It wouldn't be my favorite thing, but I don't think I would be bothered all that much by the Mach 1 lettering disappearing. My primary goal is paint and decal protection, hopefully without sacrificing much from the one-meter+ view of the car.

Yeah, removing the decals is not an option I'm considering. That makes things much more expensive since I would likely need to get a new decal to re-apply, too. I don't think I mind all that much if I lose the matte look with gloss PPF over the decal... but if the film wouldn't even adhere and...

Hmm I don't think I understand the difference you're describing with FJG. What is smooth on FJG that is not smooth on other colors? I should also mention while I'm here... I'm also considering a full matte PPF. Partly for the novelty, but I also like the sheen it could bring out from an...

Thanks for the input! Yeah that was one of the options, not covering the decals. I've heard that the decals will take a beating over time, mostly from sun damage IIRC? I forgot he did mention what you said about the matte decals becoming glossy. I don't think that would bother me too much, but...

I know the PPF installer I have, who I generally trust, suggested several different options... However I don't really recall the details of the tradeoffs, and I didn't want to waste his time with a million questions (many of which he may not have the answer to for my specific car). I'm leaning...

The Mach 1 Premium came standard with everything I would have optioned on a GT Premium PLUS the Tremec, which was a big part of what sold me. I did want the Premium trim (700A) to get some things, such as heated/cooled seats and position memory. I love bold colors (and really, really wish more...

At the risk of being pedantic, the size of your brake rotors and number of pistons probably didn't have much effect on your stopping distance here... They're great for the track to prevent overheating your brakes, but in a single emergency stop on the street, tires get the vast majority of the...

That's, like... an insanely good deal in today's market, isn't it? There must be a catch... If not, my car might not be worth as much as I thought. Only knock I can see is that it has had three owners, which is quite a few for a late model Mustang with only 8K miles. I also never liked those...

Sounds like a thoughtful comparison, but $50-65K is a pretty wide range in the used car world IMO (that's a 30% increase from low to high). Plus, I'm still seeing a lot of low mileage Mach 1s for under $50K.
