That is a good deal actually.
I understand that dealerships hire these buffoons who are willing to wrench on shitboxes day in and day out because that's where all the money is at. But damn, can't they hire a car enthusiast or two? Someone who has at least heard of one of the most popular Ford Performance mods for Mustangs?
There was a Doug DeMuro article where he took his Japanese spec R32 GTR in to the local Nissan dealer to have some minor problem looked at, but mostly to see their reaction. Other than some confusion about the VIN not having the right number of digits, they didn't say much. While he was waiting someone in a Sentra or Altima came in to have the dealer attach the license plate. Two screws. It gives some insight into customer quality as well.
At the dealership where I bought my Mustang the sales team was full of retards who didn't know anything about the 6th gen, and a few of them tried to convince me the Base model's little display screen was actually a touch screen that could be activated via a download from Ford, and the Base seats were special multiway adjustable that they ordered special from Ford just for their particular lot. I told them to cut out the shit and talk numbers and we came to a deal, but it was awkward to see that my local Ford dealership literally had almost no one who knew anything about Mustangs and they relied entirely on bullcrap salesmanship to drive sales.
I'd really rather do it myself than take it to the dealer. Did you just follow the provided instructions?
Yep. I think CJPP may have a video on it too. Also I'm sure others on here have posted installation guides and helpful tips. I'll give you one: when removing the sound tube from the firewall, a lot of people just yank until it break and rips out because the nut holding it on is very hard to reach and the stud coming out of the firewall is too long for a socket. I worked it loose with an open ended wrench, then wrapped a rubber band around a socket a few times. Slipped the stud through the socket (no ratchet of course) and onto the nut, then just used my fingers to twist the socket and the nut off with the rubber band providing extra grip. The kit provides a plug for the hole left in the firewall... I put that in place by using a sticky-side out loop of electrical tape on a paint stirrer. A piece of gum would probably work too.
Now that's interesting, and good know.
