What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[DroptopGT]

Didn’t install myself as I had someone do demon eyes and wasn’t much more for tuner.

Yeah video shows pretty easy. I’ve pulled dash panel and was pretty easy. Wiring looks straight forward

Dropped her off at the dealership for some warranty repaint work. The estimator guy said the rear window paint chipping is a common issue that he's seen plenty on our cars, not quite to the level of the hood issues but still common. Should be getting it back by Friday if all goes well.

Rear window paint chipping? You mean on the trunk lid area?

Are we married to the same woman? They will never understand

Our wives are probably related to half the wives on this forum.

Samd is right: those are good-looking wheels. I missed/can't find the post that named and described them. A little help? Thank you.

They are Vertini Dynasty
20x9 front and 20x10.5 rears
I can't remember the offset off the top of my head, but I can look at them later.
275/30 fronts and 295/30 rears

Well, finally pulled the trigger and ordered some new wheels.

Grabbed them from ebay for a song. MRR600s 19 x 10/11 in gun metal. Thanks to @bjstang @5pointOh and @shogun32 for pointing me to aspire motors and thanks to @DarrenMRRWheels I know you you were going to hook me up, but this just too sweet of deal to pass up. Darren sent me a lot of info and answered a ton of questions for me. Your help was a big part of why I went with these.

Also ordered a set of jacking rails and the BBK passenger side catch can. @Sigma6 said to order one and post a review, so challenge accepted.

All being shipped to the office to avoid the dreaded porch pirates. Now I just need to find some tires, some new Ford Performance center caps, and sneak these into the house.

Mine are sitting in my garage and can confirm they are authentic MRR wheels. Almost wishing I would have waited on a deal for 20's because tire choices at 19" over 285 section width suck ass.

No, the actual rear window area, on both sides like this:

I use affirm to order so doesn't show up on cc or debit statement, only affirm payment: she hasn't figured it out.

I finally got some winter tires today. Went to a tire shop and had some Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06's put on. First impression is that they are very quiet, with little road noise.

Installed Cpe air intake, I have basically all Cpe stuff and hks etc.

also I added 1 inch spacers to my rear seats latch brackets. I did that as a test to see if a one inch gap along the back behind passenger seats will let my subwoofer add more bass.

you can see the line in rear view mirror but from inside you can’t. Passenger side back seat, the little tab under the window, it’s there it just isn’t holding it tightly up to window odd. But as long as it doesn’t rattle idc. We will see.

My dragy dongle arrived ;)

I would think the glass should come out for a lasting repair.

Got my wheels and tires put on! Thanks LMR! Sorry for the shitty phone picture!

The dealership called letting me know the whining sound I was hearing from the engine was a failing water pump and that it's being replaced for free under warranty

Have to say having two large warranty repairs in the last 3k miles (at 33k miles) is not inspiring any confidence in the longevity of the car

Damn I am a lucky guy then. My girl dont complain about car parts. She will say dang it cost how much? but then ask when am I putting it on so she can make plans that day. Best part is she's the breadwinner in the family so its mostly her buying the parts and shes never even wanted to drive the car.

It did come off, they pull it off, clear the area, repaint, let it dry for a day, then today they're supposed to be putting the glass back on and hopefully have it ready for pickup in the afternoon sometime. I'm hopeful I'll get it back before the weekend even if it is going to be rainy here the whole time, I miss my car!
