What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[frank s]

I don't think they looks nice with grabber blue. Looks like the wheels are doing their best to outshine an already very bright and shiny car. Those wheels look better with darker car colours IMO.

I appreciate all input. its a large $ I am guessing 1400-1600 bucks. so I like to hear opinions on why and why not. I am taking this into consideration. but man I think they are pretty as of right now

I like the shiny, bright wheels on (just about) any color car. The only improvement over what you are intending would be some Startling White rims.

hopefully turns out as good as I imagining. got to find QUALITY 5mm spacers guys

My knowledge in this are is limited which is why I’m asking. 5mm is a 1/5 of an inch. Seems too small to bother.

I spent some quality time with the hare piece yesterday (October 18, 2020), covering it with orange reflective vinyl tape, and relocating it closer to the grill pony; a hair too close, maybe? I had colored the edges black, which made it a little more defined, but much of that was wasted effort and was trimmed away with the orange overlap. If you don’t inspect it too closely, it looks pretty much Okay. When I carry on with my projected Orange Reflective Accents On Magnetic Metallic theme, they won’t get as much attention.

The TRLNGWA plate is hung on with duct tape, just to show it off. It made its debut at the Terlingua Mustang's introduction in 2008:

Because I like where it’s at
Itl be 8.7mm in further where I’m at I’m just trying to get a little closer to where I was

The new design has four bolts, seems stronger for sure.

Nice.
I'll have to check if mine is that. Not sure.

The strength of the plate-to-bracket connection won't likely be the vulnerable point. The Sto-n-Sho on my 2018 5.0 PP1 was rendered useless by one careless driveway exit that crushed the splitter-mounted receiver so it was impossible to insert the bracket rods. It took quite a bit of drilling and grinding to rehabilitate the union. Beware.

Got my BD-27's with new PS4S installed today. Final alignment appointment on Wednesday.

What are the tires and rims. Photos please. Love the rims.

I don't doubt this, but it hangs down, what, 1/2" at most? I'm stock ride height and recognize steep angles when approaching them. I do think 3M tape on the receiver would be a good upgrade, since the screws are just there for placement purpose at that point.

Thanks. By the way forgot to say congrats on the new wheels. Looking forward to seeing them on your car.

Though I have black or dark gray wheels on my most of my cars, except the VW, I think those will look great on your car.

ORDERED RF2 WHEELS!

Soon this will be my car.

hopefully turns out as good as I imagining. got to find QUALITY 5mm spacers guys, if you know the best ones for our car, let me know. I want the best ones I can buy. Hubcentric but cant find shit.

Did you happen to ask the seller who the manufacturer is?

RIms are these, got them on sale for about 40% off, couldn't pass that up. They are still on sale too, normally over 2K. These are the 20x10 and 20x11's.

Chris what length wrench were you using? I was trying a 6ish inch flex head that left my hand right in the choke point where I couldn't get a good grip

Here is a picture of the wrench I used. I was able to just barely move the wrench maybe less than 1/8 turn so it took a while to remove the nut but did the job.
