What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Solteka]

(6/30/2019)

I rotated the tires (front to back and vice versa for both sides) and filled up my Ecoboost Mustang today.

I reset the average mpg meter and drove conservatively from the fueling station to my home approximately 5 miles away on a quiet road and took a picture of it when I reached the neighborhood entrance:

Wow! Absolutely perfect stance......that offset is perfect on those wheels! (I assume you do NOT have MagneRide?)

And finally got the Velgen VF5’s mounted! Wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2’s 275/35 and 305/35. They look awesome! ]

Thank you! Correct - no MagnerRide.

I love how the BMR springs work on the car too.

I had to resist the urge to drive it to work this morning. But our lawn guys come on Monday's and they don't care where they spray their dust and clippings lol

Super nice!!

I want this exact wheel but with perforated leather!

What are the offsets (or backspace) for those?

Fronts are 30 offset and 6.7 backspacing and rears are 55 offset and 8.2 backspacing

Drove it. Spent the day with a few m3s, a few frs, an sti abs an s2000 playing in the mountains

finally put the bushing supports and alignment kit from the steeda stop the hop kit. noticeable difference in handling with no NVH. worth every penny

Enclosed the GT350 style air box based on seeing @honeybadger and @NverFinished - then drove it and it actually worked!!! Aside from looking cool (IMO) on a very hot day (~96) the before and after was apparent in the IAT, in many cases by 15-20 degrees. Note I have removed the underhood insulation so that probably further exacerbated the situation (air box not sealing to my GT hood so the intake was sucking in lots of hot air rather than from the snorkel at the grill).

That looks very nice. Please let me know you start taking orders

On a side note, you said that you've removed the under hood insulation. Have you had any issues with the hood getting too hot? I would like to do the same, to show off that pony, but am leary, as I don't want to bubble the paint or stripes on the hood.

Removed the engine cover and installed a valve for the "Sound Symposer". I think I can tell the difference with the valve closed, the car is quieter inside (in active exhaust "quiet" mode).
The engine cover will go back on after I trim it some, here is an idea that does not involve too much work:

So it may look like this when completed:
