Hmmm, maybe you were "sitting" (pressing) the trunk release button against the seat side cushion? Try pressing the trunk release (and perhaps other buttons) manually while you are moving too fast for it to allow it to open and see if it replicates the ding. I've had mine display a gremlin...

Probably wouldn't hurt to load the female connectors up with dielectric grease as well. Although I didn't do it.

I prefer the spade terminals with the heat shrink sheathing. There will be plenty of exposure to wet under there. I got into that space behind the front turn signal fixture after driving in the rain. The plastic fender and belly guards don't stop the water at all.

Does it go back to normal with the regular light bulbs? Rumors of similar issues is why I didn't get the switchbacks. Perhaps someone that has had the issue is still watching the thread and can chime in.

Maybe some JBWeld epoxy would hold up in that application.

If the barb and the housing are both aluminum, can you take the part off and get someone to weld around the joint to seal it up?

For me the difference isn't that subtle. Those Blizzak's are like marshmallows.

Love that color trimmed in black!

Got my summer tires back on this past weekend too! Ahhhh, much better. <Edit> My summers are also all season. There may be no more heavy snow, but it is still very cold in the mornings. We can see a 40 degree swing between the low and the high.

One other thing... I found some 1:18 and 1:24 scale metal decals on eBay that I used for the 5.0 and the ponies on the wheel hubs. The 1:18 for the 5.0, but the tiniest ponies for the wheel hubs came from the 1:24 decal sheet.

I added the overall dimensions for you to check the fit. The diameter of the axle on the car should be 1/4". I suspect that Maitso uses the same axle / wheel design for all of their 1:18 Mustang models. Or at least I hoping they do. I was also going to mention that I had 1 wheel that fit...

The rims will need to match the rubber that you have on the model. I used the same dimensions as with my model's wheels under the assumption that Maitso rims are all the same. <EDIT> Dimensions below. Pull the rubber off and take a spot check measurement. If they are basically the same then...

@Sound Wave, is this close enough to your rims? It was very difficult to work from just a few photos and the OEM pics I found on-line. The basic rim, frame, and hub will fit a Maitso 1:18. I broke one of the axles when taking my wheels off and had to buy another model to replace it. Then I...

I think I might go back and take a crack at the grille. An overlay might be feasible without being too thick.

I made it from a Maitso 1:18 red one. The cost added up since I can't spray paint very well and that color matching paint is a real pain in the butt. It goes on in speckles unless you flood it a bit, then it runs or blisters. There's a very small window between enough and too much. And when you...

Finally finished my 2016 Ruby Red California Special die cast 1:18...

Torque specs are given for dry threads. If the threads are lubricated the torque value needs to be adjusted (reduced) accordingly.

I've also been told by shops that they use a torque wrench to install. I watched them hammer it on with an impact gun then follow-up with a torque wrench. However the torque wrench never added anything. Likely they were over torqued with the impact and then "checked" for a minimum torque...

Front plate required here... Previous cars never got hassled by the police, but did get a parking ticket for not having one. My Mustang came from the factory with the front plate holder installed. It was listed on the window sticker.

I'm late to the party and admittedly didn't read all of the 22 pages... I skipped over the Camaro because the interior is too small. I couldn't get my head fully upright in the sunroof version and the only non-sunroof on the lot was still touching my head (not just the hair, but compressing...
