    Anyone with aftermarket alarms?

    I have a Python alarm in my convertible and love it. It is the model 500 with a dual zone motion sensor added on. For me the important thing was having a proper alarm that would protect the contents of the car with the top down (via zones). I paid somewhere near $400 installed, and have a new...

    tire choice!

    If you don’t mind my asking, what did you pay for the Zenettis? I am looking at these as well. Thanks

    What do you think (wheels)?

    I like those wheels too. Unfortunately you cannot get them anymore in anything but 8" widths ot less. :( I had these ordered and the order was cancelled because of this. No eta on when new product will be available either! :bang:

    18" bullitts anyone?

    Thanks for the info, both of you. On a seperate note; what is up with all of the 8" and less widths on 18" wheels? It must be around 75-80% of the 18" wheel choices that I am seeing are 8 inches or less in rim width. I am planning on putting 255 width tires on 18" wheels (which IMO is rather...

    18" bullitts anyone?

    I've been looking on and off over the last couple of weeks for 18" bullitt wheels for the 05 mustang (ideally, painted or silver, no chrome) but cannot seem to find ANY. There are plenty of places to find them with the correct offset for pre-05 mustangs, but none for the 05. Does anyone know...

    Mustang makes top three list of most hated cars on BMW M3 forum...

    Pretty much sums up this whole thread for me. It just illustrates that there is simply NOTHING near the Mustang to compare it to, and the fact that there exist more similarities than differences between two cars with such a wide price disparity (100+%) speaks volumes about how good the Mustang...

    Mustang makes top three list of most hated cars on BMW M3 forum...

    I just call those things “one of the $30,000 things” Interesting thread... When I was in the market for a new car, I knew I wanted a convertible and I wanted something with 4 seats and 300 or more hp. Budget was to a greater extent not really a consideration (for the most part). It was more...

    Engine break-in

    There seems to be contrasting views concerning engine break-in. Although some swear by running the engine hard (hi revs) right out of the box, others seem to rely on a mildler approach. My question has to do with DURATION. Does anyone have any thoughts on duration of drive for a new car/engine...

    Good news from my dealer... what a concept! (long)

    Got my ride! One final update on this thread. I got the call yesterday at about 2:00! My car came in, exactly 5 weeks from order! Noone could believe it came in so fast (least of all me!) Diablo Ford was great again... car was cleaned and detailed for me when I got there at 6:00. They took me...

    Any ideas for a good vanity plate?

    Did you trade-in your previous vehicle when you purchased your new one at that time? My dealer mentioned something similar to what you described, but only on a trade-in scenario, which makes sense I guess, since they will be processing registration tasks for both vehicles anyway.

    Any ideas for a good vanity plate?

    speaking of vanity plates... Right now I have one for my 97GT. I have an 05 on order which should be delivered some time this next week. :banana: What is the best way to transfer that plate to the new vehicle (I live in CA) all of you California stangers? Could it be as simple as getting a new...

    I keep messing up, sorry, here finally the pics

    A thousand apologies. I assumed Allie would post this info. They are MB Motorsports VR5S wheels. I purchased them 18/9". They can be picked up at www.partshopper.com. This can be reached as a main menu link on this site. Here is a link to the wheels themselves: :DMB Motorsports VR5S They...

    Question for the pros

    It’s that one time... Not to sound condescending, but it is not the 99% of the time driving that gets you into trouble, it’s that 1%. This is where experience comes into play. No matter HOW careful you drive the Mustang, HOW much you respect the power, HOW much you concentrate when you drive...

    Spoiler: To delete or not to delete, that is the question

    Good point, but what IS what it used to be? Everything changes, even in Arizona. You just have to take the good with the bad. What has happened to the cost of living out there in AZ? I will venture to guess that populations are rising too... which will mean more changes. Some for the better...

    I keep messing up, sorry, here finally the pics

    Great choice Allie! :nice: I ordered these wheels myself for my Vert! What size tires do you have on them? I’m still on the fence about going 255/45/18 all around or 255s on front with 285/40/18 on the back...

    Good news from my dealer... what a concept! (long)

    Don’t sweat it. I should’ve made that clearer. I have a friend here that assumed Pittsburg PA when I related my experiences to him. Uyennie, where did you get yours from? Sixpony, I’m glad to hear you also had a good experience with these people. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop...

    Good news from my dealer... what a concept! (long)

    I typically do not post “listen to what great thing has happened to me” commentaries, but in the interests of fair reporting I feel that it is good to relate a positive experience from a dealer. At least this way those who have ordered and have not yet been screwed might take hope that maybe...

    255s from the rear

    Can anyone who has 255s post some images of the car from behind, preferably with both tires showing. I am trying to visualize how wide the 255s look (especially compared to 285s). A couple of the 255 images I have seen seem really narrow on this particular Mustang even though they shouldn’t...
