Gossamer Update.

Back to the factory spoiler, nothing fit the convertible just right and until one is MODE FOR THE VERT, factory spoiler stays. I did have it painted black and re-installed it.

I added the GRDIAN dash cam, with GPS mount, fits perfectly behind the mirror, used a mirror power tap from Amazon to provide switched power, looks and works great.

Under the hood I am going to pull the top cover and paint the lower sides of the main cover black. The grey doesn't work for me, the small lines will be Orange when I am done. and will post photos by the end of the weekend.

I got a set of PP wheels, the hub centric design make them feel smoother on the road and you can't beat the look. I am considering the MRR M350, but its just a consideration. They are black and Hub Centric so we shall see.

Also looking at the GT/CS front valance, to add a bit of aggressiveness to the front.


Up to 3800 miles and still love driving the car.

So is your stock spoiler still plasti-dipped?

No, I went and had it professionally painted!

Euro-Max Auto body in Boca.

Re-painted the top cover to the intake today.

Used a blade saw (sonic-crafter style) to break it apart. Then nut and bolted it together.

Its been a while

Not sure where I left off.

Decided on the stock spoiler after all, and had it painted black.

Replaced the PP wheels (Listed for sale) with Black Pack wheels.

Waiting on Ford Racing Performance Pack #3 which I have on order.

Mileage is now 4780, 22 months old.

Thinking about the GT350 steering wheel and maybe the RTR Side splitters.

Looking good. You change wheels more than I change underwear! lol

You should come out to Legends Tavern in Deerfield this Sunday from 12-4. A South Florida SVT gathering, but all mustangs are welcome. Usually a good time eating and shooting the breeze

Update, been slacking

So I found another set of wheels, OEM Black pack wheels, makes the calipers pop more than the PP wheels. Also did the GT/CS Front splitter, it was a breeze and my son helped me. He loves to use tools.

There was (is) an issue with the rear spoiler, the body shop that painted it didn't bond it well and it began to separate. I may have found the "Holy Grail" of convertible spoilers. GT350 for convertible only. Painted is $350 looks like its no drill if you have a factory spoiler and uses factory holes. Called and waiting to hear back. But if its all true, I will have one ASAP. Our Mustang club had its annual picnic today and I parked next to a 16 GT CO Vert, the front splitter difference was huge.

Spoiler was not a unicorn, it was real. It on and its awesome.

Quick Update, I finally ordered a Power pack for the car, went with PP2 after speaking to a few people at Ford Performance (calling in to see when my Raptor will ship).

PP3 is for track work, all high end gains. PP2 is the best "Bang for the buck" in street performance. Most gains are between 1200 and 3500rpms. I have gotten lost in th ePP thread on here, it went crazy and is over 100 pages. That being said, I do get that PP2 performance is excellent and comments like "The car should have come this way to begin with" helped me decide. Hopefully it will be in the car the second week of January. Then I will be selling my Roush CAI (Sorry Jack, you are a nice guy, but I want more).

Nice Jeff! I just sent you an email from my work email address.

Just installed (Well, Ford did, thanks to [MENTION=19218]jpilone[/MENTION] ) the PP2 intake, throttle body and tune from Ford Performance. NO QUESTION you feel it in your seat, the exhaust is a bit lower tone and the throttle response is superior. Then I made this earlier today and installed it (its good having a vinyl cutter)
