    Favorite mustang color?

    D6 - Screaming Yellow! But I'm also very fond of Sonic Blue. Had that on my 2004 GT that I traded in for my Roush. It was a really nice color. The 2010 Kona Blue is kind of nice also, but I still prefer Sonic, it was a touch darker. The 66 I had in my youth was a dark blue as well, don't...

    Fake Gas Cap Removal ??

    I used fishing line as well. Tried dental floss first, way too fragile. Be patient and remember there are two centering pins in the badge / fake cap. You can't saw through those with fishing line. Just saw around from the outside to near the middle, top, bottom, both sides and you'll be able...

    Um, from the manufacturer is one option. Looks like Brenspeed has them also. I can't remember where I ordered mine, it's been a while ago.... MRT Hood Struts for 2005+ Ford Mustang Mustang MRT Hood Struts (05-09)

    those eleanor style grilles....

    +1 on Klaw's post. Got my upper & lower grill from Stage3 Motorsports all fitting the Roush fascia and protecting my IC. It's a mesh design, but flat so the cleanup problems with the stock style honeycomb are gone. A touchup behind the grill for parts that could show through would be a good...

    Driving for fun.....Im I the only one?

    My wife goes with me! We use our Mustang almost exclusively for pleasure cruising, cars shows and taking 'optional' trips. She likes that everyone stops and looks, points and hollers, and a all the cell phone pictures taken of us at stoplights. I'm with GreyDiesel on skipping lunch and going...

    Dealer incentives..is it worth it?

    Hey, my Roush is 'My Mustang' too! I've added several personal touches over and above what Jacks crew did to the base GT. You can still customize a Roush or a GT500 to your personal taste. It's just a different starting canvas. But if you just want to buy a really nice Mustang to drive and...

    Occasional Usage '08 GT

    Since you're in the 'red', I'd say to start taking care of the paint right away with a good quality wax. If you store outside, a high quality car cover is a good idea. It's easier to keep red (and black) looking good than try to get it looking good after it's been damaged by birds or sun...

    Umm, I'm new, and I'm an alcoholic...

    Dude, you can do this easily yourself. The SC install is really straightforward if you use a quality kit. I helped my son with a Procharger centri on his V6. That was a really well documented and packaged install as well, although I'm still firmly in the KB twin-screw camp....

    Umm, I'm new, and I'm an alcoholic...

    If you are mechanically inclined and have access to just a few mechanics tools, save your self a ton of money and install the SC yourself. I did the Kenne Bell full kit (with a 9psi pulley, intercooler, etc.) with my wife helping and it went really well. We did it in my neighbors garage. You...

    Headlamp cover polish?

    I tried some Mothers Plastic polish on my headlight and taillight covers last summer for show prep. They really looked nice, it was well worth the few minutes to do the job. But my covers were in very good shape already, so I don't know if this polish is abrasive enough to help with slight...

    Ricekiller.com guys are flippin morons, hope that hurts your feelings

    Let's look at this from the perspective of the Camaro. It is very likely the only way he can beat a Mustang, any Mustang, is to find one boxed in behind another car. He may have a chance against ricers, but not against a real muscle car. So, cut him some slack, he's one of the unfortunate...

    Hood... What gives?

    I have MRT hood lifts and I don't think they, or any other hood lifts would have any effect on the hood flutter at high speed. Hood pins however eliminate the problem as well as the risk of the hood flying open under virtually any circumstances. My pins are from RingBrothers and I'm extremely...

    Hood struts

    Close your hood very slowly the first time and watch for any bowing in the middle or near the back of the hood. If you have a slight raised gap above the fenders you might think it's tension on the hood from the hood lifts, but it isn't (at least on mine). I did have a slight clearance issue...

    Hood struts

    Well, yea, there is that little item as well. I installed both myself, (and the RingBrothers hoodpins), but the KB did take a bit longer. I like the MRT struts best as they require no drilling and are mounted to the rear - not stretched across the fenders like some of the other 'long' struts...

    Hood struts

    MRT struts for me. Easy install, no drilling to hood or fenders. But I did grind on the base brackets a little to get a little better closing. There was a slight clearance issue with the hood bolt-head and the top of the bracket. Took maybe 1/8" off the top of the bracket, a little...

    how many miles...

    Still on my original (dealer installed) Nitto 555 255/35ZR20 with 11,000 miles street/highway use, no drag/track time, several few 'spirited starts from a dead stop'. They still look brand new....

    I think I have to nominate this as the BEST response. Hats off, sir!

    More bikini shots.. lots of pics.

    I had assumed she was preparing to clean the engine bay, it does need a good wipedown. I didn't see a towel in her hand, so I just guess I missed something. My wife (no pictures, not gonna happen) is a stickler for the engine bay and the wheels. She tolerates NO SPOTS on the wheels or dust...

    what is the best car wax ?

    Can I say I prefer Mothers 3-step without being punched in the junk? I don't have a (usable) garage, so my car sits out with an all weather cover. I only drive in nice weather, stays covered during rain and overwinter (will drive a little if roads are not salty). The Mothers finish looks...
