What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Nagare]

Decided to install PP gauges on my 18 GT but dash I bought was scratched up. I found this VViVid "Forged" carbon fiber vinyl and decided to try it. I honestly did not expect to like it as much as I do.

Alright, now I need to know how much you used and about how long it took? Definitely going to look into doing this now, that looks killer.

Thanks! I absolutely love how it looks specially at night. I bought two rolls from Amazon. one 1/2 x 5 ft and one 1 x 5 ft. Had some left over so you could probably buy just one 1 1/2 x 5 ft. roll but I rather have extra. Honestly wrapping took about 2 hours or so taking my time and doing it patiently but I am sure more experienced folk could do it a lot faster.

Installed Borla ATAK cat back on my 2019 GT PP2 this weekend. Used 4 jack stands, BMR jacking rails and regular shop tools. My 17 year old video taped this and helped immensely crawling underneath of the “beast “ to get this thing going. ...we did the BMR rails 1st to jack up car but used other jacking points to secure the jack stands.


Impressions:

• not too complicated an install we followed Bill from CJ pony parts video and it helped
• Everything came in one box with full instructions
• It is loud as hell when I want it to be and all drive modes were retained
• Black carbon fiber tips are unique and complete the look
• No drone on the highway

Suggestions:

• a shop or lift would be ideal , hardest part was getting down/up on ground
• a second set of hands useful when push/pull exhaust off
• The last step , removing the factory actuators has to be done with care, I recommend you have on hand electrical tape and a few zip ties to make sure wires don’t hang or get crimped when removing and then reinstalling OEM actuators.

Summary:

2 out of 3 wrenches , we had this installed in about 3 hours. The next day before test driving I tightened all bolts and once again went over the actuators on the muffler to make sure they were taped with high heat electrical tape I can’t stress that as others have gotten a code or not been able to use there active options because of a damaged pigtail.

I liked the factory sound but I love the Borla ATAK. My previous 2015 had Corsa axle back and was great , the carbon fiber on these ATAK made the difference.

Below are some pics and a link for a brief video.


Sorry so dirty..I fixed that with a good wash today.

You need to rename your garage "The Car Condom", that's a tight fit.

And the first thing a lot of UK people do is swap the round badge out for a blank or GT deck lid ...

we always want what we don't have!

That must be so much easier to clean without scratching. I was thinking about putting on an s197 style round GT badge.

yeah it really is. the stock one is a bit of a PITA

 

[Prokiller]

put on RTR hood vents to match the grilles

I've been wanting to do that. Any issues with the install? Good product?

I am also considering these lights. Did you install without having to remove the valance?
