    Inside headlight mod?? Question on my GT's headlights

    As I was driving home yesterday I saw a GT with its lights on. However, instead of the outside two lights being the normal running lights it was the inside two lights that were on. I think that it looked much better with the inside headlights turned on and the outside lights off and left...

    My 1 month old GT just got a NASTY paint chip, opinions please

    I just got back from my first road trip in my new GT and while I was washing it I found a small but VERY deep chip in the paint on my hood. I must have caught a rock on the freeway or something. Its about a 1/4 inch long and 1/8wide and it goes through the clear coat, paint, and basecoat down...

    Does anyone have IMCO exhaust? It sounds awesome!

    I hadn't heard of it until today. I listened to a sound clip and it sounds awesome. It has a really nice muscle-car sound to it. Does anyone have the "extreme" kit (pn - 55506)? The mufflers seem pretty friggin small so I wonder how loud it is...its hard to tell from the video. Heres the...

    Should I change my oil at 500 miles??

    My GT just ticked over 500 miles and I remember someone saying that you should change your oil after the first 500 miles during break-in. Is this true? If so, why? If it is, should I stick to conventional oil or switch to synthetic? I realize that synthetic may provide too much...

    My new GT has a "stinky" clutch, whats up??

    OK, let me start off by saying that I have been driving manuals since I got my license 8 years ago and have not had a single problem with them so I know this "problem" is not because of me. Let me also say that I just picked up my GT last Monday (hooray!). Since then I have put about 300...

    Do I need a tune when installing aftermarket wheels??

    My car is ordered with the regular 17"s and I want to upgrade to the 18" FR500 replicas (10" outback and 9" upfront). Do I need to retune my ECU after putting these on? Or should I just get a sidewall height (aspect ratio, for you technical lads) that would make my wheels/tires package...

    Where to shop online for parts?

    I'm know there is lightning force performance and a few others but I can never remember them or find them. Where do you guys go for parts? I know this is very general and there are probably a huge amount of sites, but I'm looking for a good base with which to compare prices and to start...

    Title pretty much explains it. The "shelby" style stripes painted all the way down the rear and front facias. How much you guys fork over for yours? PS if anyone knows of any good shops in the so-cal area let me know por favor

    The spoiler: to delete or not to delete, that is the question

    How many of you guys have deleted your spoilers? I didn't opt for it when I ordered my car, but know that it has been put on hold indefinately I've been thinking about getting it deleted. I think it cleanes up the lines and the regular spoiler just looks like an ill-advised afterthought. Does...

    Dyoct, I need your help!!!!

    The Ford dealership I ordered my car from just called me and told me that my GT was on hold "indefinately" because I ordered it with the optional 18" polished "bullit-style" wheels. Apparently they are not producing any GTs with these wheels right now for reasons unknown to my dealership. They...

    Questions about AIRAID CAI...anybody own one?

    Ok, I checked out AIRAID's website and they're saying that their CAI will produce 17 rwhp and 21 lb/ft without a tune. They say this is possible because of they're Modular Venturi Tube (MVT) that somewhow "maintains proper air/fuel ratios with stock electric tuning." Anyone know how this thing...

    Break in period??

    Do our engines have to go through a "break in" period when they are delivered to us? Things like making sure things like the piston rings are seated properly and things of that nature; heating cycles and whatnot. I've heard that our engines come "broke in" from Ford and I've also heard that...

    What mods can I do w/o voiding warranty?

    Well, this is my first new car I have ever had so I've never dealt with a warranty before...and on top of that I've only owned Z28s before this - so I have no experience with Ford and their warranty program. My '06 GT will hopefully be arriving in a month or two and I'm trying to figure out...
