What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[SINBUSTER007]

Added some more Grabber Blue accents. They're subtle but should add to the overall theme. Props to bjstang for the painted lettering idea, and everybody else in the Engine Bay Mods thread for the inspiration!

SINBUSTER007, here is the post of when I did the engine covers. I just used enamel model paint from a hobby store.

AM had some automatic hood struts on sale for $50, plus I had a $10 credit so I ordered and popped those on. I then removed the old hood support and decided the engine needed some paint to help it pop some more. ModelMasters makes a pretty spot on Grabber Blue which I used to fill in the details.

I put on some Ford Performance black 5.0 badges! ...And then forgot to take pictures before I left for work this morning, oops.
This weekend I'm replacing my shitty tweeters with some nice ones, hopefully it all goes smooth!

Also, I want to get a flat bottom steering wheel with carbon fiber/perforated leather that I keep seeing people post here. I only found one company: SoCal Garageworks but are there any others?

I "saved for later" a pony logo trunk mat on the AM site today. When they email a $20.00 discount in two weeks I'll go ahead and order it. They have me trained well.

I did nothing today, but I'm happy because my RTR side rocker splitters finally came in. But now I won't get a chance to install them for like 3 weeks though

Got my CVF intercooler and charge pipe kit put on. The wait was excruciating . Once more, kudos to those folks. They stay with you throughout the process, making sure all goes well. All the parts (downpipe, I/C and plumbing) look top-notch.

Updated sync to version 3. I had to use a usb drive because the garage is too far from the WiFi router.

where'd you get them from? i've been checking AM everyday for weeks now and they are still out of stock.

From AM, but I placed my order back on April 17th (same day l got my car lol) and they've been in backorder since then. I even messaged them a few times to make sure that it wasn't that they were discontinuing them since it had taken so long. Tbh, I was going to canx if I hadn't gotten them by the next few weeks (when I would have the time to install them)

Tossed on a coat of Adams Buttery Wax and also did some Adams Tire Dressing. Wax was more for my therapy than anything else but the tires definitely needed some love.

Before and after.
