First of all, thank you very much to everyone for the positive comments! Honestly, it's not my idea to produce and sell, also because I'm from Europe, and the market mainly in my country is very small. But I can help in another way, I share the files with the community and you can produce locally. I would be happy to see this idea applied to other mustangs. About the magnet, I put the magnet on the acrylic (double side tape), and also with double-sided tape I placed a small metal plate over the "shaker" logo. Using the magnet has another advantage, which is to give a few millimeters of thickness to compensate for the ring of the lighter "body", which I kept in place. It's an easy thing to do.
Keep in mind that I kept the usb port small and use an extension/adapter, if you want a bigger hole in the usb port you can edit the design.

Not exactly TO my mustang, but had a photo I took printed and got a cheap frame for it. The only editing on the photo was to remove some power lines and misc touch ups. It was a crazy vibrant evening after some storms ran though.

Trying to get some replacement lug nuts sorted. My Gorilla ones have started to corrode. :frown: And I wash and dry inside every one each time I do the car. So I'm frustrated that this has happened after like only 8 months.

I'd warranty that out stat. No way that should happen in under a year for what they charge for these. :(

I went with Mcgard for our UK environment after reading a few stories on how Gorilla's had lasted over here.

I know there will be some marketing involved, but check this : https://mcgard.com/automotive/lug-nutslug-bolts/lug-nut-comparison/

My Mcgards are approaching two years and they still look like new. They see all weathers but no salt - so I'm not totally sure my experience is directly comparable to yours, YMMV ...

As a bonus, I found Mcgards cheaper to source in the UK compared to Gorilla's.

Aye cheers @WD Pro @Bit_the_Bullitt . I thought similar so I reached out to where I bought them from and they came back to me the other day asking how many I would need to replace. Hopefully there'll be no argument as I've gone back to them today saying I need all x20 replacing.

@WD Pro I was thinking about giving the new ones some clear anti-corrosion coating before fitting. Like a Rust-Oleum clear gloss coat (for example).

Sharp design! Love it. One thing to note. There is a difference between the EU cars cigarette lighter port and the NA power port. The cars in NA have a flap on the power port whereas the EU cars do not.

Ordered new Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 Tires. Saved about $400 with the current discounts.

Interested to see how these perform. I wanted to stick to 275/35 for the fronts, but they don't come in that size. I am thinking the 285/35 should still be ok.

your receipt says 785 in savings. ie. you got the fronts for free. Can you explain the delta between receipt and the rough-400? I wish USAA would add Conti to the member benefits. I like buying tires at 25-30% off.
