Don’t need to buy that spacer. Just get a few nylon spacers at Lowes for a $1.
I did this on my GT350 to improve heel-toe actions. The larger pedal helps too.But I still suck at it. No need to do this on a GT500.
This...

The "reason" for the spacer was to bring the gas pedal further towards you, making it even with the clutch & brake pedal. In theory this makes heel/toe footwork more ballerina like.

I had it on my 2015, and it did nothing for me as far as shifting (I also suck at it).

I can't lie though, I only got it because I was hoping to gain 1" in space between the steering wheel and my washboard stomach (albeit gentile cycle) because of my MASSIVE 5'5" stature. Always looking for 1 more inch. Or, is that the wife, I always forget.

Jaime, sure do like your magnetic rain tray install. It looks like it will work just fine and even easier than my quarter turn fasteners. I agree with you in that I don't drive with it on either and only use if for when washing the car. I may just change mine over to magnets.
Thanks Mark, I like it too. Your idea is brilliant. You are the engineer, and I am Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, taking the easy way out..... "no way"

The only thing about the magnets that might not work is the double sided VHB tape dots. I have some JB Weld 2 part epoxy on deck, if they don't.

I forget the nomenclature but it's run by Ford at different locations across the country. You have to get invited to attend.

This just in...... all GT500s are being recalled for the proper fuel gauge.

Today was the day to have the GT500 fender stripe installed. I think it should have come this way from the factory. I Don't know why they chose this time not do it this way? Pretty sure every other year GT350 or GT500 that came with side stripes had the corresponding markings.

Hot DAMN those look SPECTACULAR, Jaime...I GOTTA get some! WOW, what a HUGE difference and I TOTALLY agree on the historic use from the factory. Who knows why they didn't but they clearly SHOULD have.

Can't stop looking at that side shot, man. Gorgeous. (and BTW, if you want any of those shots for posterity purposes, email me the originals and I'll fix that haze from the sunlight.) <smile>

PS - Pretty easy install?

It's funny, (to me, anyway,) but I will never look at another vehicle part number tag without thinking about some of you...the REAL "enthusiasts" and you know to whom I'm speaking. <smile>

So, in that vein, (and for Tob's records,) <grinning> here's a shot from the inside of a front CR wheel with the numbahs. :-)
