What Upgrades/Mods are you going to do to your Mustang?

[CasperGT]

Yes. The larger of the two sets of "holes".

Thats awesome! I will get a rear bracket from him. I bought a set of brackets off him about 7 years back for my wifes car and never had one issue. We still get asked where did we buy them from as I also got the plate covers and you just cannot get the same quality anywhere else!

so does the rear Lakin bracket attach to the mustangs factory plate holes?

As far as I know I think you're supposed to drill a 3mm hole through these holes.


And the plate should end up mounting like this.

I believe Philip (Lakin) personally went to Ford dealership to take the measurements himself.
Dont quote me on this but I believe all his plates/brackets should fit into the factory holes/dimples.
Mine did...

Its awesome that you can attach to the factory points without having to use those ugly blocks that Ford supply.

I forgot to thank you for going to the trouble of the photos explaining the attachments. :cheers:

Not much luck with my Steeda Clutch Fluid Line Braided Stainless Steel so I will go for something else for now

I am planning on getting the OEM GT sturt bar - Does anyone know how I can paint it platinum white to match the colour of the car?

Mods: covered up that ugly 'white-bubble' coolant tank.
New cover looks so much better, matches the rest on the engine bay, looks like it belongs there.

Mods: hood (bonnet) struts
No more 'last century' rod.

 

[MM Pony GT]

Mods: black wheel lug nuts and got rid of that orange reflector sidemarker

Love the cleaner, neater and more streamlined look with smoked side marker and black wheel lug nuts !!!!

 

[LFCRulesOK]

Nice!!!

Where did you get the black lug nuts from and the coolant cover?

 

[LFCRulesOK]

Actually thats not too bad. Sounds exi but assuming the assemblies are new that would account for probably $2500 and then the circuit boards, controllers, swicthbacks, labour.... Sounds like a fair deal. I will stick with blacking mine out with the Anchor room blackout kit.

Ended up costing close to four grand in the end once customs duty was factored in. Still I reckon it's (just about) worth it.

Started dressing up the engine compartment. I too have a cover for the coolant tank (red) and will fit it next week.

Black lug nuts are the Gorilla ones, got them from CJ Pony Parts.

Coolant tank cover from American Muscle. There are a few designs available on other websites, but I prefer this one the most (comes down to individual taste).

We bought the same cover. Looks good but wholly crap, for the price its a real rip off. The plastic is wafer thin like a kids party mask. I was outraged with the price but it does look good though.

Yea I know, the price doesn't match materials used to make the cover. But the improved look of the engine bay is worth it.
