Interesting thing about bead porn, it looks lovely but I've seen articles suggesting that in rain it's better to have water sheet off the car rather then bead. The idea behind this is that dirt is held in the bead, and when it dries the dirt residue is left on the car not to mention water spots although IIRC the trick is to use a chemical that promotes bead rolling so it runs off easily. That said, I've never seen a chemical that gets water sheeting off the car.

I defer to those with greater knowledge than I.

@DFB5.0 carry on...:like:
Yup that’s why you should always rinse with a stream not a jet or spray 👍🏻

Celebrating 5 fantastic years of ownership. Ah the memories.... ordered in September 2015, arrived 10 days short of a year in Australia and picked up at the dealership on 16th September 2016. I have done 53500km and as with every day of the working week I will drive it this morning and give it a little extra shit to celebrate.....this car never gets old 🥰🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🤘😎🤘

I sort of did the same, on the the day of one of our biggest Ford car shows in Geelong, they had two mustangs on display taking orders, so I put down deposit 14 months later still NO car Grrrr, so cancelled order and bought 2016 Chrysler SRT..
But now finally own a 2019 Mustang GT..👍

That's a lot of lime ! I didn't realise just how much the black roof, mirror caps, vents, badges etc make to the overall look :like:

I quite like the side window louvres, can anyone with them let me know:
1. do they impede side vision? no blind spot warnings in the Mustang, wouldnt want to be flying blind...;
2. any recommendations for makes?

My car is out in the weather a bit, so I could say that there is a sun protection function to them, but in reality it is just aesthetics. oddly enough I like them because they remind me of the old mustang backed celica, which I liked because it reminded me of a mustang...

Hi Peter.
I have the Anderson composite carbon fiber louvres,
there's not really much vision impedance with them at all.
They do block the sunlight quite a bit on the interior,
if it's outside a bit just be sure to keep the polish up on them to help preserve them from the weather,
i hadmine wraped in Hexas ppf film.
