What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[mada808]

This is what I'm ABOUT to do if I can't figure out an easier way. Advice is welcomed. Cut the screws down, drill out the rivet and remove front plate. I guess whatever is behind this is just going to be hanging out on top of the skid plate? Fml I hate that dealers do this crap!

Yeah this is how my 13 was too. Drilled the rivets out, removed the bracket and installed paint matched http://www.bumperplugs.com/index.php?route=common/home

UMMMM YES! I want to strangle the person who did this.

What size drill bit did you use? I want to minimize damage of course. I know the bumper plugs require a no larger than 1/4' hole so I'm assuming that would be the best bet? Also, what did you do about the bolt/nut or whatever is on the other side of the bumper?

Yeah I used slightly smaller then the bumper plug diameter. As far as what was drilled out. I drilled very slowly dead center of the rivet a little piece may fall behind. I never bothered trying to retrieve anything.

I will take another one when I get home

Shouldn't the rear of this R replica slant up more in the rear? looks to be a little flat..

I'm sure whatever it is won't hurt anything being at the bottom errr top of the skid plate. I wonder if it is capable of falling out while driving or is it completely enclosed? hmmm

I got my 350 Track Pack spoiler from HCM Carbon painted and installed and my 350 steering wheel installed!







edit for image size

Dude... that track pack spoiler is so sexy... wow...

I'm sure they work themselves out eventually. And no I don't believe they would hurt anything at all.

Yes... They will have another version similar to the 350 but I prefer the pitch on this one.

Plastidipped my rear diffuser as a dry run before painting it with something permanent. I figured I'd like the blacked-out look and I do.

Nice! Now it's time for the RTR Diffuser since you like it.
[MENTION=10447]AMAlexLazarus[/MENTION] took care of me for mine!

I would, but I can't justify spending anywhere near what that thing costs. I'd rather put that money towards something else and just go with my stock one blacked-out. If it was more like $200-250, then I'd do it.

Took a trip over to Big Worm Graphix and had side stripes and a horseshoe hood stripe installed. I wanted to standout a bit from the other multitude of magnetic grays around my area.

Big Worm didn't disappoint. Fast, quality service and amazing prices. I love the final look. I'll be heading back for some additional work (like the headlight/taillight etc. tinting).
