  1. Go to the dealership for oil change or mechanic?

    I did it on my own. Their only concern was "there are many fake oil filters on the market". I ordered OEM oil filter at the dealership and changed oil myself. I wanted Amsoil Signature Series 5W-30. Did an oil change in 05/2021, had an service checkup in 08/2021, told them not to change my oil...
  2. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    I think I'd leave it there as a feature and call it RattleSnake :cwl: He slammed the lid so the nut got closer to the hole, then lifted the decklid slightly, stuck in endoscope camera and spent the rest of the day fishing it - with fishing hook attached to a cable. He said it didn't work for...
  3. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Probably. When my Ford dealer told me that their mechanic installed a spoiler few months ago, lost nut in the trunk lid and spent another day retrieving it, I decided to do it myself :D Thank you :)
  4. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Well... I was pretty active today. First I installed Steeda Full Length Jacking Rails. Easy job, although there was some underbody cover on the passanger's side on my 2019 Euro Spec EcoBoost. Then I checked if there is "the plug" (you know which one) if I decide to add active exhaust at some...
  5. Brake Dust & Wheel Cleaning

    It all depends how you take care of your rims throughout the year/season. I'd say I do cleaning/detailing every 6 months and maintenance wash with every car wash routine. At the big cleaning/detailing session i usually use products for removing iron and tar first and then wheel cleaners. I let...
  6. Ecoboost and Sport+ Mode / Who uses it?

    Normal 60% of time, Sport 40% of time. When I drive from one traffic light to another or I am stuck in the traffic, there absolutely is no need to switch to Sport. However when I drive uphill, keeping the engine on higher RPM and lower gear feels much better. Also when I am overtaking or someone...
  7. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    What grit are you going to use? I did this job last year and 5000 and 7000 grit sandpaper worked best with Mustang coat. 2500 grit left holograms that were too deep and I had to cut more of the clear coat after wet sanding when I was machine polishing the hood. It takes more time, but starting...
  8. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Bought new rims today, but I was too sick (covid) to unpack them. I also found out that OE lug nuts don't fit, so I have to buy new. The color is titan matte and they will look amazing paired with my kona blue. As soon as I'm fit, i'll put them on.
  9. Which brake pads are the correct ones?

    This. EU base EcoBoost has the same spec (as for brake pads and rotors) as US PP EcoBoost and US base GT. And as far as I know, standard US GT uses same 4 piston calipers on rear axle. Any of these numbers are correct - 2044140 (EU), GR3Z-2001-C or GR3C-2001-DD (US). The best thing is to simply...
  10. Which brake pads are the correct ones?

    Correct. EU Spec EcoBoost Premium comes with 4 piston brakes on the front. Correct OE numbers are 2044140 for brake pads and 2470369 for disc brake rotor. However OE brake pads are insanely expensive. I put aftermarket Delphi Technologies and they work fine, but are squealing, which is kinda...
  11. Why did you buy an automatic? (and why I ordered a 6spd)

    I've been a stick shift FWD driver for 15 years straight. I always had a manual transmission since I was 18. I never had an automatic and I swear I would never buy one even if I spend most of the time within the city limits and I rarely hit highway. When I was on road trip back in 2017 and...
  12. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    But I guess your chin spoiler shipping box wasn't this big 😂 https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/gt500-spoiler-w-gurney-flap-now-available-from-ford-performance.157505/post-3260761
  13. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    I used https://www.usa-balik.cz/ . However their website is written only in Czech language. The service works pretty simple. I got assigned US address right after the registration. Basicaly it is a warehouse with few employees. They will receive my shipment and store it for me as long as I want...
  14. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Thank you for recommendation, but they also didn't help me with this shipment. The real weight of the package is 22 lb (9.9 kg), but because of the oversized dimensions (66"x22"x19") the calculated volumetric weight is always over 200 lb (92 kg). That's why the shipping charges were so insane...
  15. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Ordered GT500 spoiler for her. After seeing all of those cheaper alternatives and two months of researching and deciding between Ebay, China, Anderson Composites #AC-RS20FDMU500 and OEM Ford Performance #M-16600-FP, I decided to go with OEM. The reason I went OEM was in those small details like...
  16. Window Sticker

    Thank you so much :)
  17. I hate the Pirelli P Zero Summer Only tires...

    Not really. I had Pirelli P Zero on my 2019, the tires were DOT 2818 and they hydroplaned like hell even at low speeds with slow and fluent acceleration. Driving them uphill/downhill on a wet road was a terrible experience. When it rained I felt like I spent more time driving sideways than going...
  18. OEM Style Stripes but Different Colors

    Thank you :) And I did nothing to grille. It is just stock 2018+ EcoBoost grille. I was thinking about color matching the flat horizontal part of the grille with satin dark grey vinyl wrap or sanding it flat and having it painted (same detail is on Mach 1 grille), but I found out that stock...
  19. OEM Style Stripes but Different Colors

    You can only make custom design like I did. Any vinyl shop can do that. I liked Mach 1 style, but I think that OEM stripe wasn't lining properly with the hood extractors. So I took some measurements and designed my own stripe that turned my pony into a unicorn :D I spent literally two months...
  20. Need Opinions!!! Spoiler.....

    GT500 spoiler looks amazing and it suits your car. I am getting the same type for my Kona Blue, but with gurney flap. They only think I have to decide yet is, if I should buy genuine Ford Performance or some cheaper alternative, if I should choose gloss black or carbon fiber or have it painted...
