    D.I.Y. Help - Leather Interior & Rear Valance Replacement

    Here is probably more than you wanted... Changing the leather started off pretty bad. I almost gave up and took it to an aupholstery shop... The seatback side release paddle hit me in the face when I tried to pry it off. Don't do that. I started with the passenger seat. Four bolts, and it...

    D.I.Y. Help - Leather Interior & Rear Valance Replacement

    Just thought I would let those interested know... I recently removed cloth interior from my 2005 V6 and replaced it with OEM leather from newtakeoffs.com. It wasn't easy, but for about $300 (for the leather), I now have leather interior, and I love it. I also took my rear valance (bumper...

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    I'm sorry, but it just drives me nuts when people make "buy USA" comments like this (below). Do you have any idea how detrimental it would be to the US economy if people only bought things that were "from the USA"? What about the guy that works down at the Mitsubishi dealership that is from the...

    Eclipse vs. Mustang

    My opinions on the topic... I bought a 2005 black Mustang V6, and I love it. It has a great ride, no problems with the stereo, and it still turns heads. I'd say to let the newness of the Eclipse wear off before you make a decision. It is a new model, and is bound to have flaws and kinks, just...

    Opinions: Mustang's worst feature

    I'll second that motion... I have a manual V6 with hardly any upgrades at all, and my driver seat is powered. Sorry dude.

    More than meets the eye...

    Ok, it only took me 6 months to notice this, but has anyone else noticed that the larger cup holder actually goes deeper than meets the eye? There is a rubber piece that is easily removable which makes one of the cup holders much deeper. I noticed while cleaning them out. Too cool! This somewhat...

    iPod for Mustang?

    I am an avid iPodder. I use the Kensington Digital FM transmitter and an RF Remote. I put the whole bundle in the arm console (the Kensington plugs into the cig lighter outlet). The reception is really pretty good, and I live in North Houston. As soon as a hard-line option becones available from...

    Best Driving Music?

    Heck yeah! I named my first Stang, a 1966 Springtime Yellow on Black, "Black Sunshine" after that song. Right on. Cooper

    Where are the 5-speed V-6's?

    I managed to score a black on charcoal stick V6 in Temple, TX without much trouble at all. And not to rub it in, but I love it. :)

    Aftermarket guages available???

    Wow. I couldn't disagree more. I had a 66 and really appreciate thr retro look. Then again, I would never put a 4.0 or 4.6 emblem on the side either. It reminds me of Mustang's "mistake" years. Just my opinions. Fire at will. Cooper

    Need input for Q-Logic sub box development

    I have always preferred the sound of a ported box. I went with a 10" sub and modified a stock bandpass box myself. I like not having my sub exposed to possible damage, and it also fits snugly into the space. I would agree with the others to take up the full space on the right side and make it...

    Need input for Q-Forms Kickpanel development

    Also, please keep in mind that not everyone has the door-mounted subwoofers. Those of us without the Shaker 500 and 1000 systems might like a larger speaker in the panel. (As long as it doesn't get in the way of the clutch, of course.) Thanks! Cooper

    Japanese Mustang!!!

    This thread is just a plain waste. ExCon... get a life. I could start a thread just to be controversial, but I like to use this area to spread knowledge and learn from others. Moderator, can you please shut this one down? This is just a waste of space. Seriously.

    North Houston, TX club interest?

    I live in North Houston and want to know if there are any others that live in the area that might be interested in starting a North Houston Mustang Club. There is already a Houston Mustang club, but I believe North Houston (Spring, The Woodlands, Conroe, etc.) is now big enough that it could...

    Anyone hooked up an ipod or other mp3 player?

    I posted an update to my post above. The Dension representative that contacted me said the more people that send their info, the more likely the company will get this particular item out on the market. Their ice>link has received very good reviews. And, above all, this item is BLACK! Not tacky...

    Boyd Coddington Crazy Horse 2

    I try to stay pretty positive on these boards, but I must say that this car looks absolutely terrible. I would be embarassed to drive it.

    Charger orders pile up

    Oh yeah... I chopped the back door, put a classic open grille with a Charger logo, and put GTS-style blackouts on the headlights. I mean, come on. I'm no car designer, and even I can do a better job of making a Charger look more like it should. Boo Dodge.

    Anyone hooked up an ipod or other mp3 player?

    I also came across this hard-wired solution... http://www.dension.com/icelink_info.htm While they do not have a kit for Ford yet, if you send your info to the address below, you can be put on a waiting list. (The more that send the info, the faster Dension will get moving on this product!)...

    Anyone hooked up an ipod or other mp3 player?

    Wow, I have a Shaker system? I didn't know that. I could have sworn it was just the regular CD player... oh wait, it is just the regular CD player. Good one. :stupid:
