TRIPLE YELLOW S550 MUSTANG Thread

[69mach1-395]

Here are some of mine shot at the 2016 Ford Stampede Show in Milton, Ontario, Canada.

I hadn't seen one with stripes on all sides before, so I thought there was a reason for. Looking at yours tells me the side stripes are just fine with the front and back ones.

Hope you don't mind, I'm going to probably copy your exact paint job on those engine covers! Sexy sexy! :eyebulge:

Jealous of that TT kit too...how do you like that? :cheers:

I have seen them painted the opposite yellow/black and thought it was too much yellow under the hood....copy away.

It's awesome, it makes over 1000whp

That Sc00ter was the factory option of Yellow Jacket interior...stitching on the seats, boot, door panels, and dash.

Love it. My 50th Anniversary Trim Package came with white stitching... I may have to get the yellow Pilot markers out. :cheers:

So for those who swapped out the emblems..did you go matte black or gloss black on the 5.0? Not a big deal just trying to decide given they are a tad expensive. I want to do this once.
Also considering going yellow pony upfront.

Thoughts?

Did anyone answer or did you decide? I was just wondering the same thing; matte or gloss for the 5.0? Which matches the painted black performance package wheels best? Thanks!

I did all gloss black. I've seen the matte in person and like the way the gloss looks better.

No one responded....but, I did alot of research and felt for my triple yellow that matte was the way to go. I've not got them on yet but, will eventually.

^^^^ much thanks. let me know how that install goes. seems easy, but taking factory stuff off a car scares me.

LOL...same reason I haven't jumped on it. Especially the trunk.

Guys, what detail stuff are we using to keep the TY looking super awesome?

I need to pick up some stuff but there is so much out there. Either Adams or CG is fine, but what to get. I want to properly clean and prep the car, wax it and seal the shine in. Much thanks!

I choose to go a route halfway between touchless drive-thru wash, and full-on foam cannon. I use a one-bucket method by using a foam gun at the end of my hose. The single bucket is now the rinse bucket, while the foam gun replaced the soap bucket. I just foam one area of the car at a time.

My setup:
Quick change brass hose connectors (Harbor freight)
Brass hose shutoff valve (Home Depot)
Spray nozzle with multiple patterns (local purchase)
Foam gun (CG or Amazon)
Pink foam gun soap (CG)
Deluxe wash mitts (green one for upper car and yellow one for lower car from CG)
5gal bucket & lid (home improvement store)
Grit guard (CG)
Eco-smart RU wash (my #1 favorite product ever - replaces spray detailer, very useful, order the concentrate or a gallon)
MF towels (Wal-mart has a 15-pack of good quality and good price)
Big yellow dry towels (3 from CG)
Big blue MF towel (2 from CG)

So this list washes your car, and you keep the Eco-smart with MF towels in your trunk at all times for dirt, bird droppings, etc. Total is maybe $150.

From there you can get lots of advice how to protect your paint after washing. For now I am just applying a Meguire's sealer, and I do not use traditional wax. But my car has clear film over all top surfaces, and so I don't have to get too anal about this part.

I suggest watching the CJ Pony Parts install videos for their Grille, decklid and side emblems removal/install.

I was a little skeptical of removing the factory Pony/GT/5.0 emblems but they were all EXTREMELY easy. The side 5.0 emblems were most difficult because you had to melt/remove it from the paint but it just takes some patience/time.

Completely changes the look of the car, very glad I did all of mine.

Will do! Appreciate that..I thought I was on their site and the video I saw didn't actually show how but, I could be mistaken. It's been awhile since i looked. I hope to get to this some time in October. LOL.
