What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[shogun32]

wide strip and 1 or 2 narrows centered on the driver - aka within the boundary of the right vent. Possibly mirrored on the other side. Look at some of the Mopar (Challenger) schemes.

Thank you for your message.

Back in the 1960s I put an asymmetrical stripe on an Austin-Healey, but placed it to the right side so at normal driving perspective, where it disappeared over the front edge was an indication of where the front tire on that side was traveling. It looked and worked OK, but I didn't do it on any subsequent cars, which says something.

Thanks again for the suggestions.

I should go to the Capital Gun Show and sell some out of the trunk like it's contraband or something...

you would get good money for it right now

Was disgusted by the engine cover atrocity on my 2020.

So, ordered the Bullitt "fuel rail covers", then did a big trim of the factory cover only retaining the center section.

Also did a sound tube delete while I was there.

Thoughts?

And, while I was there, I plasti dipped the tops of the headlights. No reason to light up under the hood.

They were $125, but included those big hoses that lay on them (which are not needed)

Oh hell yeah! I did a bunch of vinyl stuff to my 2018 cover, which made it look a little better, but already most of the vinyl is coming off, despite 90 MINUTES OF CLEANING AND PREPPING! Ugh. I like this look MUCH better! I will probably do similar, and I'll reference you in my build blog.

I can't find those online. Do you mind sharing where you bought them and/or part number?

Thanks!

Also, here is how I did the trim from the bottom.

@Chef jpd Thanks, but I wasn't very clear. Sorry. I was asking for the part numbers and/or where you bought the Bullitt covers.
Actually, I found these on CJ Pony Parts. https://www.cjponyparts.com/ford-pe...-5-0l-2011-2017-5-2l-2015-2020/p/M6P067M50BL/
I think for my build I might get these and paint them red. I'll try to mask off all the lettering so the letters stay black.

@UnkTob

The ones you quoted are for gen 2 5.0
You want these:
Bullitt covers

Got mine from CJ pony parts as well.

Got my Flameball knobs today! Not the greatest lighting in the pictures, but the flames and the flat stick are blue. Now to decide which one to use on a given day...

 

[UnkTob]

@Chef jpd- Ah. Thanks. I did miss read that. Was hoping to save some $ and find something else that didn't come with the extra unnecessary hoses.

Not sure if I'll paint the lettering red or the covers red, leaving the lettering. (Seeing how the letters stand off, not sure how easy or difficult it would be to mask one way or the other. I'll have to play around once I get them.)

Had em. Didn't like them. So the end result was getting it professionally fixed. After, they're gonna paint correction & ceramic coat the whole shebang. Then, it's getting put away for the winter.

Like brand new

Me and the wife took a nice 2 hour drive though back road here in Ohio
Then gave the Mustang a bath

The dark ones on top look killer

Thank you. That's the one I left on, at least for now.

Yesterday, drove it to the dentist to get a crown for a cracked tooth.

The dentist used a 3D scanner to generate a 3D model of the relevant parts of my mouth. An app designs a crown with a perfect fit for the stub it goes on as well as surrounding teeth and bite.

That is fed into a CNC machine that carves the crown out of a blank. Absolute perfect fit, unlike a crown that starts as two impressions (original tooth, and stub the crown will go over) sent to a lab where numerous human steps culminate with a crown that often has less than optimal fit around the base or needs to be ground to get a perfect bite.

Glad the dentist took the time to fire up the app again after the fact and show the digital images from different angles for me to record.
