    My hood is about to FLY OFF!

    Are the hood pins added as insurance that the hood does not fly open or do they also prevent it from shaking violently as well?

    20" Tire Sizes

    Thanks to all for the help. I realized that I typed my rear wheel size wrong. I have 20x10, not 20x10.5. Does this change anything as far as fit when stepping up to a wider 305 series tire?

    20" Tire Sizes

    I'll be in the market for new rear tires for my '07 GT soon and I'm curious about the tire sizes everyone is running for a 20" staggered setup. Currently, I'm running a 20x8.5 rim up front with 255/35s and 20x10.5 in the rear with 285/30s. It's only by about a 1/10th of an inch shorter in...

    IS THERE A WAY AROUND THE TPMS ?

    Easiest way around the problem is just to take your car with your sensors in hand to a place like Discount Tire. I put 20" rims on my '07 and sold the old rims before I realized '07 was the first year for mandated TPMS. I sourced a set of sensors from eBay (used) for around $60. I took the...

    TPMS

    I believe that Ford uses direct monitoring TPMS which only monitors the tire pressure unlike the indirect method that measures the tire rotation speeds. Throwing all 4 into the spare tire has nothing to do with rotation and everything to do with the fact they're sitting in a pressurized...

    Post pictures!!

    When I view a Flickr page, there's a link in the upper right corner that says "share this". Click on that and a window will pop up. There's an option to "grab the html". Click on that, but you'll have to sort through some link garbage. Find the line that says...

    FML (Easter Edition)

    I was at home, visiting my parents NW of Midland. Just to give you folks an idea to the extent of the hail: My Mustang suffered a few dings, but nothing like that. I feel for ya man! I do have to agree that the silver lining is that the situation and insurance money warrants...

    Need help! Undecided about rims, please vote

    Or... you could get the best of both worlds and go with black Bullits with chrome lip AND deep dish. They're 20's and not 18s, but it may give you a good idea. :) I need to find the pic from the front so you can really see the dish. I was torn between FR500s and Bullits myself, but really...

    TPMS Programming

    also make sure you have the doors closed. I don't think you can get into program mode with a door open.

    Fusion key, is it possible to....

    I haven't researched it at all, but I really like the keyless remotes that the likes of Nissan offer. With all of the aftermarket push-button starts, why hasn't anyone offered a kit that doesn't require a key? Not having to fumble through pockets to unlock/start a car is very intriguing...

    TPMS Woes... What are you guys doing about this?

    Go with Discount tire. $22.50 for the bands (all 4) and install. Just be sure you haven't mounted the tires yet as they quoted me $25 per wheel to break them down and mount them back. $137 for bands and install. Reused the stock sensors. Way better, in my opinion, than the $4-500 from the...

    thinking of changes. . opinions wanted

    Black stripes, chrome wheels and the imperative silver color - You definately have the right colors on the car to pull it off... I'm kinda digging the idea. Your quarter window scoops are reminiscent of the belly scoops on the plane and the "nose" art is definately the right touch...

    Post Pics of Your Mustang

    This isn't a quality picture by any means, but a good look at the progression so far. It's very intereting to see what it was and where it is now. Night and day. Eibach Pro-Kit springs, 20" Black Bullitts, pony logo center caps, and an SHR black billet fuel door. Future appearance mods...

    Spring Install Question

    Thanks for the help, everybody. I had the springs completely installed Saturday evening, had it aligned on Monday morning. Drove around the great state of Tx and put a little over 600 miles on them in the last 2 days and they seem to be doing great. The shop I had it aligned at said the...

    TPMS Hardware

    Unfortunately, it's my understanding, that since it's federally mandated it can't be legally disabled. Not to say it can't be disabled, but not sure I've heard of an easy way short of messing with the wiring, ABS, computer, etc. After I changed rims, I had my car into the dealership for...

    New stripes...

    What size are those stripes? Both the main stripe and the little stripe? That's the stripe I'm looking for, but didn't know what size width to go with. I like yours. :-) The ghosts are definitely sweet!

    Spring Install Question

    Uh oh. Now you tell me! :) seems to be the only part I missed. How critical is this piece? I dont think any of the three sets of instructions I had mentioned this. Outside of that, the install was simple and I love the new look and feel of the stang. It does look like I'll need an adjustable...

    Spring Install Question

    I've looked through about a dozen different threads and haven't seen any information regarding 'clocking' of the rear springs. Is there a particular way they go in or just shove them in and go? In the middle of the install of my Eibachs and just want to be sure I get this right. Thanks!
