Seniors: Mods you wouldn't do

[ugstang17]

NO FAKE GHOST CAM IDLE on DOHC setups (this would be any Coyote) with active VCT. LED Washer nozzles have more functionality.

These all look like mods no normal human being should be allowed to do let alone seniors. Also might I suggest a "Senior" section to this forum we can even call it the Retirement Home.

Agreed. No custom penstriping on Mustangs after 1993 or red on yellow anything.

In some of the earlier posts, certainly yes.

I think there's a fair number of mods in this thread that should be done by ANYONE, regardless of age ...

Young guys like poke on their wheels. I hate poke...and although I'm only 52, I just cringe when I see it. So hell to the no on the poke.

As an actual senior, the nice thing about avoiding fake spoilers, louvers, scoops, stripes, etc., I don't have to waste time removing them and filling trash cans when preparing the car for resale.

I'm, *ahem*, I guess in the vicinity of a senior-ish type owner ... but I love a properly lowered car, with nice meaty wheel/tire setup with a correct fitment, a little more growl than most cars are stock, etc.

In reference to spoilers...
In order to not be "Fake" they would have to have some size to them on a car that gets to see a track.
That would make it a truly a performance MOD. And they are Always Okay
That said, I am personally Okay with small to moderate spoilers on a daily drive, or weekend driven car.
Just not one that's not mounted on top of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Certainly we are all Okay with Front Splitters, right?
Already there on our Mustangs, and they did it tastefully in my lowly learned opinion.
So, it's All about taste I guess.
I have done a mere few.
Brake Light Sequencer, (does it only once when the brake is applied, like our turn signals).
Hood Assist Strut, for ease of opening.
LED reverse light.
Ford made, Pop Up Windscreen, in my convertible.
Next; paint protection film.
The End,....for now.

Not quite to senior status yet, but - lowering. Makes the car look like a ricer. Maybe I spent enough years in SUVs that it makes the tire gap look good to me in stock form.

My 15’ GT non PP felt floaty driving. Installed the FR Track Track Pack Suspension. It lowered the car 1” which I didn’t really like. Threw off my camber pretty bad. Installed caster/camber plates to correct the excessive negative camber.

On my 18’ GT PP I opted for the Magneride suspension and it was well worth it. I like the stock tire gap just fine.

There's less than 1/16" clearance to the strut, so it's a "minimum-poke" setup for that wheel width, tire size, and strut combination..
