Brakes look amazing. Been wanting to do this for a while now myself. How tough was it to source all the parts?

Very nice, great taste in mods. can you please elaborate on how difficult or what was needed to swap to the 2018 instrument panel, would also like to do that to my 17 as well. Keep up the good work.

Not tough at all.. the only aftermarket part I used was the Full Tilt Boogie front caliper adapter, everything else was Ford OEM parts.

All done and working perfectly, no issues. The car gets aligned Saturday, mainly because I swapped the rear camber arms to the Steeda Adjustable ones. Plus it doesn't not cost me anything to have it done by my Nephew at Ford helps.

Next I have set of Braum Elite-X seats with red stitching coming next week with Planted Seat brackets. Hopefully the red stiching matches the gt350r steering wheel red stitching I have already installed.

I now to need to source a rear leather seat with either red stitching or just leather seat with the white stitching and dye it red to hopefully match my seats and steering wheel. Might even need to look at maybe just having reupholstered ro match.. unsure yet.

Not something I am very familiar with.

If you don't use the seats much, you could also do a rear seat delete. I like the looks of the CM Concepts one and you can have it customized with a logo if you want.

Yeah, rear seat delete is not option for me. I have a 3 year old son that likes to ride with me from time to time in the Mustang.

My original plan was to buy an OEM leather seat and dye the stitching red with fabricmate pen.. but could also look at having my cloth seats done in leather and red stitching too I guess.

Will have to check it out....

Is this for Mustangs equipped with PP Brembo brakes from the factory?

I went from the Performance Pack 6 piston brakes to the gt350r Brembo 6 piston brakes. Only big difference is the rear brakes for me.

Alright did alignment today..

Working mainly on the rear and adjusting the camber and toe.

Ford Spec gt350r rear camber -0.70 and toe 0.15.. so this is what we set it at, hopefully that is right.

I cant remember the front settings, will post the sheet here shortly.

Definitely rubbing the fenders in the back with the new camber in the rear. So might have to do some more adjusting to get it right and not rubbing the tires.

It only rubs on extreme angles and tucks the tire into the fender well rubbing inner fender well at the top.

My alignment specs...

I think I should have adjusted a bit more camber in the rear.

The track specs of the gt350 and Gt350r looks to be -1.0 and -1.25.

Interested to see what direction you go with this. I'm also not sure with mine... keep my Recaros (I dyed my stitching black so all stitching in the car matches) and go custom upholstery or rear seat delete with the Braum fronts.

I went ahead and dyed the front door panels stitching today.. and turned out very well..

Matches my steering wheel and shifter pretty well. Will see how it matches the seats, they should be here tomorrow. The Planted Seat brackets are still saying in production.

Looking at maybe cracking open the front headlights and swapping the DRL boards to Diode Dynamics RGBWA boards with sequential turn signal and adding some demon eyes.

Was thinking about painting the housing also, but might keep it stock looking so I can always have it look OEM, but can also change the colors if I want to show off a bit and stand out.

Started looking at it due to the OEM DRL's dont match the Diode Dynamics turn signal lights I currently have. The OEM ar far dimmer and dont match in color temp, plus it would be cool to have sequential DRL'S and turn signal lights together.
