its a summer car if it matters, but it was 35* on my drive home. I use amsoil signature oil.
Hopefully 175 is not an issue, I only drove it 20 minutes home

if I ever experience driving issues,I will toss a ford perf radiator in next time, regardless my base oem ecoboost radiator is junk. But I think I should be fine. I will say this, at a light my chtā€™s was raising naturally,
But the second I moved, it was like a 20* drop in seconds

but I didnā€™t really pay attention to the temps generally, 175 may be a normal temperature drop once thermostat opens for ecoboost, hoping some people chime in on temps
Stock stat is 190 degrees. Sounds like it is stuck open to me....

What do you mean? I understand the concept but my car gets hot, the thermostat opens. The coolant drops and cht drops. It goes down to 175, then it goes back up or stays there repeat

wouldnā€™t that mean itā€™s opening closing? I will try to drive today and check coolant levels make sure no leaks

please god do not leak. I donā€™t wannado another rad change lol

main diff I saw in my shirt observation is. Oldradit would drop to 185. This new rad drops to 175.

i went from the base ecoboost rad to mishimoto prototype 2.

Installed 4" to 8" Screen Upgrade. The stock USB hub in my 2020 base works with the new system. Now I need to get the Drive Mode switch working.

Also installed the PP1 dash panel and gauges. I connected the gauges to the plug located behind the radio screen and they both function without modification.

What all is needed for for the gauge install? Tried looking it up a few weeks ago and it mentioned needing a lot more parts than what you are describing.

Great mod. I went green, and then changed the my color mode door and footwell colors to green. Looks great with the car and makes a neat talking point.

Someone messaged me about having a set of cali grilles I already kinda passed on the idea because couldnā€™t find a set worth buying.

would my car look better with cali grilles or stick with gt grilles? Would be awesome if someone could photoshop them.

Ive always liked the GT grills over all the other OEM options. They give the car a much more aggressive look. The stock EB and cali grills just look more... laid back or passive. Just my .02.

NEITHER. It needs a corral grill. Every Mustang does. Yours even more with the silver wheels and window trim.

Just for clarification (don't have sticker shock). New, new take-offs and used come and go in the market.
