Blast from the past lol I started this thread four years ago, and to this day its been the best bang for the buck mod I've ever run across and I wouldnt hesitate to do it again on any car. I get comments from people all the time, and honestly, it just makes me happy to see the red stitches. I...

Yesterday I drove up to Whataburger to have dinner with my daughter. When we left, about a minute after starting the car while sitting at a traffic light I turned on the headlights and almost immediately the check engine light comes on. Nothing appears wrong otherwise; engine is idling fine...

I changed my exhaust a year ago right when I bought the car and thought I'd posted this little vid but I just realized I never did...so here you go. [ame] Its Ford Racing Sport axle backs with Ford Racing Side Exhaust. It is not for the faint of heart lol. I think its the best sounding...

I've gotten a couple of emails asking for an update so I thought I'd post on the thread for anyone to find. Its been over a year now, 22k miles, and a summer of Houston heat and humidity. All of the stitching on the seats and dash look just as good now as they did then. The center arm rest was...

I've gotten a few pms asking how this is holding up so thought I'd post for everyone to see...three months and 5k miles and I cant tell the difference. I never had any dye transfer to my clothes, including white dress shirts, khaky pants etc. Everyone that rides in the car comments on the...

NASA is running at MSR Houston next weekend. I'll be there with my Camaro Mustang Challenge race car.

Once the dye dries it doesnt rub off. Leather cleaners dont have an impact once the dye has set.Gotta give it 24hrs. This is a trick thats been used for years now, and has proven to be good at fade resistance. Besides, you can re-do it if you feel like it.

Right, DUH I keep forgetting you have a different setup without the amp and witout **** drum roll please for something announced first here **** active noise cancellation. Yes, thats right, the premium and shaker setups both include active noise cancellation, its not just an ecoboost sound...

LOL arent we all cheap bastards? Otherwise we'd simply hand the car over to a pro stereo shop with our credit card and say "fix it!" its more complex that just two more inputs though. The OE am has a crossover for the front speakers; it has outputs for the mid bass down low in the door and a...

Well, sure...it may be that the wires are there and not doing anything because its cheaper for assembly/manufacturing reasons, it could be that the wires arent there at all on V8s and they just have one set of diagrams with a sort of "worst case scenario" point of view...or it could be that the...

Safest and cheapest are worlds apart. Safest is a hydraulic lift. Realistically, a floor jack and four jack stands are perfectly safe. Yes youll feel weird the first time under the car, but after you've done it a few times you'll realize its no biggie. Just make sure you put the jack and stands...

Oh man...I was afraid of that. Hey...you're in Houston? lol small world, so am I Can you look back into those wiring diagrams? I think we really need to know if anything else connects to the amp or only the "audio unit" does and what all connects to that audio unit. Phone integration, SYNC...

This isnt exactly infotainment so I tought I'd post in the general section. Below is a snippet of wiring diagrams a fellow posted. He mentioned the Ford system where he got these does not differentiate between the premium and the shaker for wiring of the head unit and amp. He did have other...

I would imagine that on a cloth interior it'd be very tough to do for the reason Jeffrey stated. The whole reason this is foolproof is the dye doesnt soak into the leather. A cloth seat it would soak into.

I decided to make all of the white stitching red on my premier ebony and race red car. I followed a tried and true method of using a dye marker. The marker cost me three bucks, and it took about three hours (lots of stitching!). Its a it tedious and brainless work but with some nice tunes it...

Wow still six weeks out? Hang in there.

Nobody has ever sat around swirling their drink and thinking "you know, I wish my car had a little less horsepower".

Got mine on the very last day of the year....GT Race Red, 12,31,14...Tx

Thanks everyone Ali...Houston :)

The shaker has 12 speakers. Based on what I've found on fordparts.com and on other threads this is a speaker in the center of the dash, a tweeter in the a pillar, a 3 or 3.5 high up on the door, a 6.5 low on the door Mross above says these are 5.25, others have described them as 6.5 but maybe...
