    Good Shop in Chicago

    Anyone know a good shop in Chicago? (City or suburbs) I'm looking to get a supercharger put in my '05 GT. My dealer won't do it and my regular mechanic admits he's never done one. Any ideas?

    2005 cigarette lighter question

    I've just had a cigarette lighter installed and you're exactly right, the lighter itself is too small for the "power" outlet socket. What my dealer did was to order the lighter and the sleeve which replaces stock sleeve in your dash, turning the power outlet into a cigarette lighter. The...

    Shaker 500 vs Shaker 1000

    Don't know about the 500, but the 1000 absolutely does shake the mirror - cool at a stoplight, less cool when trying to change lanes at speed. You can feel the bass in your chest. Drove around recently with friend who had a mixed rap CD and I actually had to adjust the bass to a lower setting...

    Getting More Power/Better Performance from the '05 Mustang

    Anyone have ideas for getting more power out of the GT's V8? I plan to add a supercharger in the no-so-distant future, but I'd appreciate any expert advice on adjustments I can do myself (or have a shop do for me) in the mean time. I'm a bit of a novice at this kind of thing and a first time...

    Speed warning?

    I'm a bit of a novice and a first time Mustang owner. What do you mean by "open up the air box"? More power is always a good thing and I'd like to get some more out of my 05 GT.

    More pics of the MRT Interceptor.

    Love the spoiler - the best I've seen so far, not a fan of the rest: Simplify, man!

    Pics of My GT w/Stripes, Tinted Windows & Spoiler Delete

    If you've got a good vinyl shop, doing the tapered stripes should be no problem. Most of the shops I've seen design the pattern on a computer and then a machine cuts the pattern out from 3 foot wide vinyl that comes on a roll. Just find a good shop and ask if they can do it. If you're a...

    Pics of My GT w/Stripes, Tinted Windows & Spoiler Delete

    The stipes were done at Xtreme Graphics in Villa Park. (Be forwarned, I paid $150 for 2 hours of labor because that's what they estimated. It was actually more like three hours and he did say they'll need to raise the price). I bought the stripes form edecals.com, but Xtreme Graphics has the...

    05 Roush *6 PICS ALL SIDES*

    To much, too much, too much. Simplify, man. If I wanted my car too look like that I'd by a 300zx and be done with it. I could see using one or maybe two of the pieces (I like the window louvers) but the whole package together is garish.

    Pics of My GT w/Stripes, Tinted Windows & Spoiler Delete

    Auto drop - sorry I misunderstood. This feature posed no problem. The tinting material actually extends a fraction of an inch below the rubber sealing strip at the bottom of the wondow when it is fully closed (how the shop did this, I don't know) so the window going up and down that fraction...

    Pics of My GT w/Stripes, Tinted Windows & Spoiler Delete

    About the stripes - they are vinyl. My plan was to put the vinyl on for a few months to make sure I like them and then get them painted (so many purists here have talked down tape). However, once I saw the job that the shop did, I'm not so sure I need to get them painted. They look great even...

    Heard a lot of discussion about these options & mods. Just thought these pics might help some people decide.

    eopionion.com review - Can you believe this guy?

    The buttons on the steering wheel do not control the radio, they operate the cruise control.

    Just noticed that I need to update my signature - oops. Heading there now.

    UPGRADES 1st $1000...1st $5000

    Picked up my 05 GT on Thursday and I'm getting the Shelby stripes on Monday. I'm also getting the windows blacked out then too. As soon as the aftermarket stuff becomed available, I'll be looking for a small, duck-tail spoiler (I took the spoiler delete option, hate the look of a wing) and...

    Current '05 owners, opinion?

    Picked mine up Thursday and I'm lovin' it. The power is amazing, the stereo (Shaker 1000) is killer and the ride is smooth & tight. I'm also lovin' the reactions I get from strangers. Can't tell you how many thumbs up and "nice car"'s I've gotten (even from ricers - jealous). I've even...

    Oops, one more question about stripes...

    My 05 GT is silver (picking it up tomorrow, dealer called me today to let me know it was in, but I didn't get the message until after they closed. Stopped by and looked in the window - it looks great!). Anyway, I'm planning on black racing stripes (10" stripes with a two inch gap between them)...

    Window Tinting on the '05

    I stopped by an auto glass & tinting shop today to ask about getting the windows on my 05 GT tinted once it is delivered. He quoted me what I think is a fair price, but also informed me that all recent Mustang rear windows have a band of black ceramic just below the roofline which can make...

    Got the 05 Mustang Brouchure from dealer today

    Remote Keyless Entry I might be wrong about this, but when I orderd my '05 in May, my dealer (Weinman Ford in Chicago) told me that the "remote keyless entry" option referred to a remote control for your keychain that would lock/unlock the doors and turn the alarm on/off. He never mentioned a...
