The weather is getting nicer and many parades & car shows have already kicked off the cruising season.  It's a very good thing we can shake off the wintertime cold and warm up, because Classic Design Concepts (CDC) has a couple of hot tricks to show Ford Mustang fans.  One is a stylish new light bar for the 2001 Ford Mustang convertible and the other is a set of quality-crafted hood struts for both the coupe and 'vert Mustang.  CDC has struck the market quickly in the 2010 Mustang arena, and their long-standing commitment to fitment and finish is evident with these two new products.  Check out more in the Press Release and the larger images we have in store for you.

Spring is upon most of us (sorry polar people) and the time to break the Ford Mustang out of its slumber is here.  Most Mustang fans that don't daily-drive their pony cars have a garage or at least try to keep their ride(s) covered up somehow to avoid the detrimental elements.  If you don't have a cover for the storage of your car, be it inside or outside, then we have a neat treat for you.  If you do have a cover, well, you might take a second look at the latest from Photo Car Covers.  They have a unique product, indeed, as their covers are completely personalized to match your ride!  Photo Car Covers utilize a breathable material that is printed with a digital photo of your choosing, so you can exhibit your car even while it's covered up!  Check out more in the official Press Release.

Corner carvers around the world know full well the pain of dramatically shifting weight & inertia while turning and stopping.  Beefing up the suspension, stiffening the body, and reducing weight have always been great way to help alleviate body roll and tuck.  One product recently released for the 2005 - present Ford Mustang is the Anti-Dive kit from Global Performance Parts.  The kit essentially replaces the front control arm main bushings with heavy duty urethane pieces and offers an immediate and inexpensive remedy for nose dive during braking on the S197 Ford Mustang.  The also incorporates a caster adjustment which helps to improve steering response, resulting in a better road feel and tightened control of the vehicle under stress.  Check out more in the Press Release from Global Performance!

Following closely on the coat tails of the the 2010 Roush 427R Ford Mustang, the folks at AFM have taken the wraps off their latest aftermarket intake piece.  This Roushcharger Power Pipe Kit (PKAF-0126C) for the 2009 - 2009 Ford Mustang is specifically tailored and tweaked (utilizing the new Abaco DBX 97mm digital mass air meter) to be applied to Mustangs equipped with the Roushcharger.  The PKAF-0126C is also equipped with the largest air box on the market, with over 819 cubic inches of cool, dense air flow being passed to the DBX 97mm digital MAM.  A 4.5" mandrel bent, ceramic coated Power Pipe brings the fruit to market and results in a flow rate of 1300 CFM.

Just like we told you in a recent Ford Mustang aftermarket announcement, the parts offerings continue to stack up and key players are always emerging with something slick to drop a coin upon.  A few weeks ago, NXT Generation debuted their new 2005-2009 Ford Mustang Battery Tray & Master Cylinder Cover Kit.  It's made of the same black textured plastic as the factory cowl panel and radiator cover and the pieces bring a clean, finished look to both V6 and V8 Mustangs.  Keep going to get a better look at the product or you can head to www.calponycars.com to check out more information on this latest offering from NXT.

With the omnipresent risk of supercharger belt slip, many Ford Mustang owners loathe the notion of power loss and even worse, a broken belt.  Steeda Autosports has developed a noteworthy solution to this widespread dilemma with their Steeda Supercharger Belt Drive system for Whipple superchargers.  The new Steeda Belt Drive setup, when tested, showed improved boost pressure (12 to 13 psi) from the standard rating of the Whipple's 10psi; illustrating the reduction in belt slip.  When a Whipple-blown Mustang is pushed even harder, the pulley setup also has a retention wall for the belt to keep it in place and out of harm's way, pulling and generating the power it was meant to rather than becoming an expensive underhood bull whip.  Keep reading to get the full scoop from Steeda and check out their Whipple Belt system in action.

Conveniently timed just ahead of SEMA 2008, we stumbled onto another alternative for the 2005 through 2009 Ford Mustang to become a recipient of forced induction.
