    Shopping Cart + Rear Fender = $750 in damage

    This is what happens when inconsiderate people who drink haterade all day long and suck at life let a shopping cart smack your car and leave the scene. To make it worse I was parked ALL THE WAY out in the last spot. I spoke to the manager of the store, security cameras picked up nothing...

    My mechanic said: just deal with it (brakes)

    Took my car for an oil change today, also brought the brakes to the attention of my mechanic. When you decelerate quickly you can feel a slight pulsing in the pedal, and I can almost hear it too. Today I would get the car up to speed, throw it in neutral and brake, trying to feel/listen for...

    Bumper Grill insert, why isn't this factory/OEM?

    Bought the insert from American Muscle for $80 or so, installed this morning in approx 30 seconds. I wonder why this isn't an actual OEM part, why the huge gap exposing the lower radiator? Anyways, it looks much better and "completes" the front bumper. Sorry, I know it's dirty but it's been...

    OWNed in the parking lot

    So, I parked my car...walked in to suffer through my wife and daughter shopping for clothes. I was feeling pretty good about how badass my car was looking, all clean and sitting out there looking sinister, ready to pounce. And then, I come out and some prick seriously one upped me. Talk...

    2 month report

    So, I've owned my 08 for just about 2 months now, thought to put up my impressions of the beast. I've used the Stang about 80% of the time for general running around, errands and such, and have driven it on a trip to GA which was about 1200 miles round trip. Gas mileage: I really don't track...

    Chrome bubble on wheel, warranty?

    One of my wheels has a spot about the size of a dime where the chrome is starting to bubble, eventually will flake/peel I'm sure. Are wheels covered under warranty? Just wondering.

    Need an OEM Bumper Part, 2008 GT/CS

    So....I hit a semi takeoff on the highway at about 80mph last night :notnice: It was obviously really dark, I was changing lanes and wacked it before I had a chance to react. The lower bumper did get bent, but it was cool because it popped right back into place. However, I am missing the...

    Lowered...more shameless pics

    sure...nowhere near the mod level of some of you animals but I'm still lovin it :nice: Installed the Roush springs I got from Krang00 today....then had to wash her up all pretty like. The dudes at the shop left their greasy fingerprints all over the car, so a wash was a must. Good thing it...

    professional detailing, worth it IMO

    So I bought my 08 about a week ago? Anyways the PO didn't take real good care of the paint, looks like he went through the cheap gas station car washes. Lots of swirls (it's a black car so you know...), some scratches etc. I washed her up nice, even did a hand wax with meguiars and spray...

    D@mn-it!

    As a previous owner of other modded cars, and many sportbikes...I know how easy it is to get sucked into the mod fest = empty wallet = pissed off wife cycle. I have sworn to do a few simple mods to the stang and let it be. It's gonna be tough :rlaugh: So I put the pipes on, gonna lower it...

    Put the Flowmasters on today

    Some local kid had a set of flowmaster mufflers on craigslist, I scooped them up day and installed them this afternoon. Pretty straightforward as most of you know, I backed the car up on ramps to make it a little easier. The only thing is, that damn bolt that secures the hangar bracket that...

    Inital changes....CS

    Anyone have the CS sticker removed from the side? I'm thinking of going for the cleaner look, also adding a black tint job today. Thoughts are with that, an exhaust and maybe lowering the car and inch or so would really give it a good stance and nice sound. Yes, I'm probably posing and...

    hello

    Just picked up a 2008 GT yesterday, black with about 24k miles. Initial impressions are it's great :nice: Today I have an appointment to get all of the windows tinted, might get it detailed and have the side sticker (GT/CS) removed as well for the cleaner look. I've checked out a few...
