The sides of the car and bumpers to match - like a wide body kit but open between the kit and the body.
I think that would look awesome if done right and maybe easier to install - just...
On a 2016?
Passenger side, on the hood right by the windshield.
I've waxed the car since I got it -
Anything else I can do to stop it from breaking through the paint or take care of it right away?
-- assuming it's rust bubbling the paint - can't be a heat blister can it? Doesn't get that...
Installed the LifeWire TS+ 2 weeks ago. Used the built in tunes for a bit.
Requested the custom tune and installed it Monday but between crappy weather and not really having anywhere to go, didn't drive the car until today.
I'm not sure the car is faster with the custom tune over the...
I want stripes (no matter what the wife says)
And I love the Race Red but I really feel like the only stripe color options are White or Black (or some variant of silver / gray / black)
I think I've decided on the Mohawk with the pin stripe...
Weeks ago, I bought a cheap ODB2 to Wifi adaptor in hopes of using it with Forscan - At $20, it's obviously not compatible with Forscan and the program won't connect.
Then, I got a Livewire TS last week - I see it has a usb port on it for updating.
Can I use the Livewire as a sort of...
Found this and I was like, I have to have it!!! haha - Cheap - $20 Canadian
No idea where I'm going to put it - my garage is basically used for storage - maybe this is reason to clean it / organize the tools / and hang it when it's done.
Got the Steeda Air Intake yesterday and the LiveWire TS+ today.
OMG WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Even with the built in tunes - HOLY S***. I haven't felt acceleration like that since I drove a friends M3 years ago.
Ear to ear grin! :)
Anyway
Maybe I misunderstood Wireless - It seams like I...
So, have had the car for exactly 46 days now. I know this, because my temporary NY registration was valid for 45 days. Which means it expired last night (Sunday).
Called the DMV this morning around 9am - 26 minute wait - would you like to call you back? Yes, please.
Never got the call...
Anyone else going next Sunday (July 16th) ?
We'll see if I take the Mustang or an SUV - hard for a guy to sit in the back seat (will be 3 of us) for an hour and a half drive with the top down, haha.
We're going out tonight? Ok, I need an hour to wash the car.
But it's going to rain! Fine, 2 hours including a coat of wax so it beads off right away.
-- Everyone else does this right? haha.
Speaking of winter tires - may as well look at some rims.
I don't really want to put generic steel rims on the Mustang with snow tires - so just looking for a decent looking rim that can hold up to crap weather.
I've never been a rim guy; whatever the car comes with - good enough for me...
Ordered a Steeda intake yesterday and a Live Wire wireless tuner.
I've tried to do as much research as I can on these tuners - I got the wireless one just cause I like the big display that I can mount to the windshield.
Anyway - As I understand it, you get so many tunes for free (1 or 2 -...
Apparently, people love or hate the Mustang.
We've had it for almost 1 month to the day. Since, we've got -
The night after we were at the theater seeing Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or something - it got out late (10 or 11pm). Parked in the parking ramp - 2 guys sitting outside their car not to...
