Steeda 05 GT Chin Spoiler Has anyone ever installed one of these? http://steeda.com/store/images/styling/067-110020-450.jpg How difficult is it to do or what do you think you need to do to install it? The site says "easy install" but that could mean anything.

Scratch on glove compartment Ok, the 9 yr old put a scratch on the handle of the glove compartment on the soft dimpled plastic stuff. The interior is graphite colored. What can I use to fill it in and fix it up?

So I raced last Wednesday at the drag strip for the first time with my 2005 GT Vert. I have a Steeda CAI and Xcal2 tune in her and other then that she’s all stock. Well I did a really slow first few runs because I was getting used to the tree, the sounds, babying the car, etc. I was in and...

How much does the stock 05 GT Convertible weight? I wasn’t sure but I looked on the driver’s door panel and it gave a front and rear weight and the GVWR said 4450. It that the total weight of the car or just the maximum total weight that the car and all it’s contents can be?

Ok, I have a few questions about the climate control system. I notice the noise that sounds like a loud PSSTT sound every 10 or so seconds that everyone else hears, so I assume that is a normal operation. When I have the fan on and the AC button is not depressed, I can still hear that PSSTT...

What size tires can I put on Steeda Ultralite 05 Wheels - 18 x 9.5 wheels? I’d like to go with something that isn’t shorter then factory because I want to fill up the wheel wells with rubber. Can I go with 275/50-55/18’s on all 4 corners? Can I go a little bit wider in the rear? If I can go...

Ok, I know this is gonna sound dumb, but I got my Steeda CAI and Xcal2 last night and I pulled the manuals out of the box to read them. I put the Xcal2 manual down for a minute to go into the other room and apparently the 9 year old picked it up and put poop inside it and then rolled up it...

Ok, so lets assume a $30,000 (+/- $4,000) cost for a car as a base of competition. Then rule out most SUV’s, Trucks, Family sedans, Motorcycles, etc. Only consider 2-door and 4-door cars that seat 2-4 people and are marketed like a sporty or sports car. Also, consider only 2005 or 2006 model...

Ok, so I ordered 5 pizza’s last night cause I was too tired to turn on the oven and I called this Greek place the next town over that has good food. Well 30 minutes later the driver pulls up and I hear him in the driveway. I go to the front door, open it up, and sitting there on the asphalt...

Ok, I noticed that even when the top is down you can turn on the rear defroster. I’d think that if you left it on for a bit, it would damage the material. Anyone else have any thoughts on this? I’m surprised that the defroster can be turned on with the top down

Ok, I’m going to admit to not spending much time at the tracks or racing with any of my cars, just sort of goof around stuff. But I’ve been reading a lot of posts that make comments about speed shifting and power shifting, and I was hoping that someone could explain what they are and how they...

Ok, I met this guy on the onramp to the highway at a red light last night. He started looking at me and as the light turned green we both started going really slow to the left up the onramp, then as we straightened out, both got on it. Man, I didn’t know you could get the taillights on those...

Does anyone have info on MA Mustang clubs or shows, I was thinking about getting involved a little bit on the weekends.

Ok, I just got off the phone with a rep from Steeda because I wanted to pick up their CAI. Well it appears that the new CAI is 90mm MAF not 83mm, and the Diab Pred does not carry a tune for it. The Xcal2 however does. As I was talking to the rep, he said that they should be coming in stock...

A Radio in a Mustang GT is Stupid I have a torch red GT Vert 5 spd with the Shaker (ear-bleed) 1000 in her. All I can say is this, having a radio in the car is pointless and stupid; I’ve barely even turned it on. I find that the music coming from the exhaust rumble is so much more beautiful...

Ok, I’ve been driving he new GT all weekend to try and get used to her. I love the exhaust rumble and the tones from slow speed 1st to 2nd shifting. But I have a question about the 6k redline and bogging down. I got on the highway once yesterday and decided to get on her a bit. I was in 1st...

Questions about larger Wheels/Tires for a GT Ok, one of the first things I want to do to the GT when I get her tomorrow is put wider wheels/tires on. The problem is that I know more about engines then I do about wheel/tires and often just end up listening to the sales guy at the tire store...

Winter Storage Well, I plan on keeping my GT out of the cold weather. I don’t mind a little rain as long as I keep the wax up, but my last Vert was destroyed (the top) by water freezing on it in the winters. I’m going to keep her garaged and covered for 3 or 4 months out of the year (New...

I've test driven it and my GT Vert will be ready for me on saturday :D but I was so damn excited about just driving her and the shaker 1000, and the 5 speed, and the top, and the gas pedal, and the gas, and flooring it ... ah, well, you get what my meaning is. Anyway besides AC, like what...

So what do you consider competition for a Mustang these days? A lot of what I’ve read says that nothing is, because the Camaro is gone, the Charger is 4 door, the GTO is not selling well, etc. Do you consider our competition to be Camaro’s, TA’s or Firechickens from a few years ago? What is...
