Today, I’m getting the windows done

The wheels look great. I think a set of drilled or slotted rotors would take them to another level.
What tint percentage did you end up getting.
I’m getting mine done next week, probably just going to get 20 on the back and 35 on the front. I think 20 all round would look sweet but I don’t want to have issues with insurance (even though the chances are very low).

I haven’t seen to many Mustangs in your colour, actually I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in person but I’m new to the Mustang community.

Thanks

I already have the new rotors and a few other bits in and under there to add. As well as a stack of other stuff I have to get time to fit.

re’ the windows I went with the Fusion Titanium Nano Ceramic. 35 on the front and 20 on 1/4’s and rear. (For the same reasons) Done at AWT in Pooraka, from recommendations from some fastidious owners the FB SA 550 site. I waited and watched one Saturday morning. It was cool to watch. Mad skills required to do that rear window, and until watching I never thought about it. He was a perfectionist.

“Need for Green“ was a limited 2019 colour. I only know of 2 in SA, and I‘ve kept a list (stalker ;) ) of about 7-8 I’ve seen in AUS posts on various sites. That won’t be all of them, but I don’t think there is too many.

Installed new rear hubs today, had a service from ford last week and the found left rear had 3mm of play in the bearing right rear 1mm so both are changed out. Relatively easy job and a lot cheaper than Ford doing it. And because my wife works at a parts store I was able to save a lot on the price of both hubs ($225 for the pair to be exact).

Nope car is over 3 years old, and only had 3years or 100000 I think it was. Funny how the issue wasn't picked up last service when the car was in warranty.

Did you ask them to check? They might not have gone looking if it was a routine service and no issue reported even though this is a recurrent and common problem. I haven't had that much done under warranty but the dealership I use has always been very good with warranty stuff.

 

[snake bite]

Yeah always the way. Funny thing is my car was built on the same day as yours 16/6/16 and I had the same issue with the rear passenger side early Jan last year I think around 28000km. I work on the car and picked up the issue while changing brake pads so notified the dealership and got it fixed under warranty. How many km did yours do

How much did that system set you back if you don’t mind me asking. Love the Carbon tips!

Very nice AJ. Why did you decide not to fit the x pipe you had.

Yep the tips are pretty cool. Some close up pics of the same ones. I’ll PM you

I was going to get a full 3” cat back eventually and decided this was the one to come when that happened . An opportunity arose on the weekend I had to take. I’ll keep the full stock exhaust as well. The new switchfire will go to the right person. I’ll have to be waiting for a while now to do the headers and am going to closely follow another’s upcoming fit of the same ones.
The car goes up on jacks this week for casual work to do some suspension, frame, and brake mod’s as I get time. I’ve got new plates and plate mount and other stuff to fit. This time it’s staying up there until it’s all done. Catback may be some time away. I’ll post some pics and sound eventuality when it’s done

Yes, those tips are the best I have seen. There seems that no one yet makes double walled replacement tips to fit over the oem. You have to do what you have done and replace the mufflers.
Your upcoming mods sound good but can you tell me what a plate mound is.
