What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Romeo]

Nothing.
My wife and I usually ride together to work in my work truck but on Saturdays she gets to drive Romeo because she can leave work early.
What a pleasure!
I drove the truck.

Steeda goodies came in today. Progressive springs, pro-action non-adjustables, steeda bump stops, caster/camber plates and a set of jacking rails. Of course I had to stay up late and get it installed. Car looks great. Just too tired and dirty to take it for a test drive tonight. Here’s some before and after shots along with a shot of the parts

Gave the car it's first wash since i picked her up last week. It's been raining nonstop basically. Did a thorough wash, cleaned the interior, treated the front splitter and side skirts with some plastic treatment as they were looking a bit sun beaten. Slapped a spray wax on the paint to get a little water and dirt protection for the time being, put some wax on the wheels.

Felt good to give her a bit of love. Cant wait to get an actual solid coat of real wax when the weather improves.

Took the girlfriend for a ride, and then we picked up some food.

Took some nice back-roads, had a challenger come up behind me at one point. I let him pass, as i'm still learning the car. He was hauling ass, lol. Would catch up here and there. I was pushing it a bit, but playing it safe. Was a good time.

Finally got my windows tinted.

How do you like those wheels? They are 20s right? Kind of remind of of the 17” base wheels but beefier.

What did you use to treat the splitter and side skirts? I’m thinking I could use that on my fading fender plastic pieces on my FX4.

I had my lights tinted yesterday. Did everything but the headlights because I didn’t want to sacrifice the brightness and visibility.

303 Aerospace protestant, it is the best UV protection IMO. Better than anything "made for cars" no scents, not shiny. It is magic on plastics. It will keep stuff new, and bring back faded plastic unless it is super dead. I'll bet it works for you. Or anything rubber, vinyl. I'd saturate a rag and try that, if it doesn't work, try full strength spray followed by quick wipe.

I use it on the interior of my cars as well, any plastic type part, the whole dash etc. (damp a microfiber, put a couple spritzes in, spread it a bit to saturate into the towel. Hit the whole dash. Follow with a clean microfiber. Leaves the dash new looking, but not shiny. It's not a "nice smell". But diluted, and aired out for a bit it leaves a neutral clean smell, IMO

I’ll second that. 303 is the best. Use it on my boat vinyl and seats as well. Down here in south Florida the sun takes a toll on everything. 303 keeps everything protected and looking new.

I love my Steeda up. Just make sure you use the Loctite as per directions.

Awesome thank you! I’m buying some now.

Sure did. Loctite in all recommended locations.

Removed the giant engine cover and sound tube. I even managed to get the plug into the firewall hole! My hand should heal up in a few days.

 

[Martinnfb]

Well done, removing the sound tube is like fighting Hydra
