Hey Hondo

Nice pic, but if you really want to impress us the stripes on the plane should match the ones on the car.... We'd be really in awe then...






Just pokin ya, really nice pic.

Wow,

Thor, that stretch of Autobahn between Augsburg and Munich was my Saturday morning play ground. I loved riding it on my Yamaha, but I could never move out of the right lane. Can you get to the left lane in the Mustang????

Hi Carl,

I'm living in Munich, but we are often driving to Bavarian Alps, it's really a great countryside! The pictures have been taken near to Freilassing.

Best wishes

Thorsten.

Hi Jim

Same here. Once I brought in my son to help it went a lot faster. The hitch is so tight on the rails that it pinches the guide wires. Once that's worked out, it's a snap. It took longer to run the wire for the lighting to the battery (being AR about the path).

So I take it you installed the wiring harness for trailer lights also? I bought them with the unit but I don't envision towing a trailer anytime soon. I use the hitch for a bike rack. How does the hitch look on the car?? My car is black so the hitch is not too disruptive.

Hey Yanki

After a few upgrades.....

Man those wheel look great, I've been following them with a future purchase in mind, Did you consider running a square setup? The Concave rear wheel profile would look fantastic on the front also.. I'm researching a 19 X 10.5 square setup.

Road Dog: yeah 'cept everything on an airplane costs like a 12X multiple. Re-striping the airplane 5 years ago was $5K and I helped strip it (and stripe it) and got a "deal" (for $5K). :frusty:

I have thought about making them match, but think the next thing will either be painting the plane or finding a little brother for it (to keep me poor forever).:headbonk:

Biggest reason the plane is here is because it was the only picture I could find that wasn't my avatar. I have lots of other people's Mustangs!

If you lower the car, you may have issues with rubbing depending on the tire size you go with in the front.

The issue I'm having now is the fact that the 20x9 wheels have a +20 offset. I am running 275/35/20 on them. With the Eibach Pro Line Springs, hard dips or cornering causes the fender to rub on the outer part of the wheel.

I am changing the fronts to 255/35/20 This Saturday. Hopefully this will cure my problem.

Did you select the 20 X 9 et 20? Or was that the advice of the sellers? I ask because the oem wheels are all +40 or more. +20 is really pushing the wheel out. I installed 1" spacers on the rear wheel for now and that is not pushing out as far as a +20 wheel would.

Anyway I don't plan on lowering the car, in fact I plan to run 285/40/19 tires all around to keep some sidewall cushioning and fill the wheel well just a bit more.

When I bought my wheels, they did not have a 20x9 +40. The only option from their site was the +20.

These are the TSW Bathursts.

They seem to have a +30 now. Wish they had that when I bought them back in March of 2015.

A nice day for top down touring

Okay. I did the G2 treatment on the front calipers. And went out driving to see if anyone noticed.

Alton,
AH ha, another CDC light bar adopter. :coolphotos:

Also, I don't know if the difference in trunk lid curvature and rear quarter panels between coup and convertible is actually visible to the naked eye. Anyone able to see and describe it? I'll have to try pulling next to a coup next time I have the chance.

The deck lid and the quarter panels are a different shape than the coupe. Our spoiler does not have enough curve on the bottom to fit.
