Post Your Rare Pics of Parts No One Has

[WolfMxbee]

Okay what I mean is this, There are lots of S550 parts whether it be like a Cervinis Spoiler to certain brand lips etc that have only a photo of the part, but you cannot find a pic anywhere of the part actually installed on a S550 for a real visual, I know we all probably bought a part that looked good online, spend the money and then received it to be disappointed or mislead, my point in this is so people can search on here the part and be able to find actual pictures of them installed I'll go first, so I've had over 10 different sets of tail lights installed on my S550 and anyone that knows me knows I like to try something different and was always the first one to click purchase and items that came out, that being said :
I purched these Late model S197 style tail lights for $275.99 2 years ago, The concept looked good but once installed looked outdated and cheap real quick, not gonna lie, I did love it when I first had it because it was unique, anyways now its minimum $550 haha
Brand : Sadly none (most likely Aliexpress or Alibaba bulk purchase for the sellers on ebay)

I haven't bought anything that would qualify for your post. But when I couldn't buy an engine cover for my 2015 GT Mustang (with a 2018 intake manifold) I modified the 2015 engine cover to fit the 2018 manifold. A nobody makes a purge valve mounting bracket, so I had to make my own. I made a single cover into a two-piece cover that looks like old school valve covers. The purge valve mount is at the front passenger side of the cover. On the 2015 manifold the purge valve had the mount cast into the manifold.

Thats perfect for this post, sadly lots of parts are only listed as 15-17 or 18-23 but making it work is another hard visualization I appreciate your response!

Thanks, If you own 15-17 parts are interchangeable for the most part but 2018 and up is a different story. The oil filler extension tube changed in 2018. The threads that go into the valve cover on the 2018 won't fit the 2015 cover. I cut the threads off a 2015 and bored out the inside, I used the 2018 tube and machined the threads off the outside of that tube so it would fit inside the 2015 threads and with some JB weld I married the two together and this is the results. I thought it was a good idea to put a 2018 engine cover on the 2018 intake manifold. But when I made the purge valve mount the 2018 cover no longer fit. That's when I modified the 2015 engine cover. I like this much better and I have way more air flow across the top of the motor.

I had a wood shift knob done by a shop in Rochester. Don't see too many with it but since he is now making them specifically for the s550 might see more

lol, does a GT350 hi pressure a/c line count?

if you know, you know

The Boomba racing short shifter has to be quite rare

Other parts that are one of a kind, just not for Mustangs, but for Harley Davidsons. Left to right. Top left are oil pump plugs. Center four are toe shifters pegs. lower pic is an oil pump plug removal tool. Far right is a transmission dip stick. The tool is made of steel; toe shifters are brass and or aluminum and some are both and so is the dip stick. The last pics are the luggage rack I designed and built for my 03 Heritage classic. The top plate is 12 ga. .104 thick stainless steel and the side plates are 1/4" stainless plate. The whole thing is just polished not plating. And the back flange, that has Harley Davidson on it has the middle finger laser cut in between Harley and Davidson.

I have a car full of one off parts:
2015 Prototype as seen in Detroit, Chicago and New York

Maybe not rare, but I have the UK/EU fourth brake light lens

Still sort of available but rare enough that I have never seen a S550 with an actual 1969 style duck tail spoiler, I was considering this a while ago and took me a week to find photos through social media, I present the Street scene ducktail spoiler for 2015 and up

Here is a old but very rare piece that I was actually able to acquire before drake muscle discontinued this piece, a billet aluminum drake muscle black strut brace bar, I got lucky and purchased mine for $50 brand new (reason unknown for low price, could be liquidation or selling new old stock) from cj pony parts on eBay a few years ago

Ignore the variety of colors in my engine bay, actually gonna be switching up everything by the end of the year

Not rare but unique that incase no one knew of this site, they make intake ducts for our S550s 15-17 and 18-23, they also have LED version from all from Velossa Designs web site
15-17

15-17 LED

18-23

Back when my car was more track then street. I built a diff cooler and put it in the spare tire well. a also wrapped my exhaust . Now that it is a 99% street car I moved it under the car.

When I installed a Roush axle back exhaust with a Steeda x-pipe it was just too loud for my taste. it also had too much rasp. So I installed a set of bottle resonators which toned it down just enough. I also fab/installed a set of actuators to make it a active system.
