What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

Also added rally stripes on both rockers

2" wide? Yeah should have a talking to with your 'stripe guy'. But hey I run orange wheels on left side and blue on the right so...

They're the AM set. I just cut off one of the stripes on each side. I'll yell at myself in the mirror later.

Replaced my clutch position/starter switch and backup camera. Only the former switch was fixed, and I suspect that my camera wiring is damaged somewhere along its length. The camera needed to be replaced because of a scratch on the lens, but not having it sorted out after a couple months is still a drag.

Today, installed some reflector tint from Big Worm Graphix. Did front and rear. First time working with vinyl, but following the instructions it went well. Watched all their install vids a few days ago, so knew what to expect. Figured I’d try this before getting into hood stripes or rocker stripes- I’d be mad if I messed up some expensive stripes.

I'd be interested to see how it looks with lights hitting it at night front and rear.

When I get the chance, I’ll try to get a photo. Haven’t driven it much at night so far. You can see the reflector through the tint, it’s not completely black. There are also lighter tint colors, I went with the darkest.

It's finally stripped nearly back to stock. Took many more days than it should have; starting to think I broke something in my foot over the weekend. NM that; that's a whole other long story.

I'm getting the PCM reset to stock by a local dealership in the morning. Wiping out the PBD tune for good since my nGuage died and I can't restore on my own. Bye bye all my PBD tunes.




Questions for you all that do your own work: what do you recommend for a torque wrench? Old one broke too, go figure. Looking for recs.

The wrench isn't going to be a moneymaker so I don't need the best. Just a solid wrench for a weekend home wrencher.

EDIT: 3/8

Tons and tons of tread left for the new car at least. Both fronts and rears look to have been worn evenly (all stock suspension and original alignment).

I'm going to pick up a new cordless impact driver since I switched over to Dewalt's 20v system for my other tools last year.

I'm not sure how it is for a convertible, but have you guys ever noticed worsened FM reception with the LED lights on?
I literally a few mornings ago had horrible reception for a station that's normally clear for me. Lights were on. The sun rose enough to where lights turned off (in auto mode) and immediately reception improved drastically.

I then tested this at the next light - turned on lights manually = reception immediately worsened. Turned them off, reception crystal clear.

I'm guessing the LED lights cause interference, but have any of you noticed it this badly?
I can upload a video.

Sounds like a ground issue. I've never had that problem.

Harbor Freight has stood me well.

Same for many things. For this I'm looking to buy something nicer/better for going forward.

I strongly urge you to go with 1/2" with >400lb/ft. 3/8" is for piddly-ass stuff like working on nothing special fasteners on a motorcycle.

I have so many 3/8 bits. Only maybe a dozen 1/2in.
