    taking stripes off of my GT

    I would buy the stripe kit, in white, from Graphic Express, and simply go over the existing stripe. Just clean the red stripe, super good with glass cleaner and/or isopropyl alchol and you will be good to go. The problem with removing the stripe, is that it will be a complete b!t*h to remove...

    Following the trend: Exhaust system questions!

    Dumps are one of those things that have absolutely no business on a street car. They are 50 state illegal since the exhaust doesn't exit past the passenger compartment. Not to mention, they are just plain obnoxious. You can get a good sounding full exhaust, that will also be legal. dumps for...

    WTF happened to Fox 500???

    They specifically mention the Fox 500 in the latest issue of 5.0. I can't put my hands on it right now, but it is just in one of those little blurbs about new products. The product was for a wiring harness for engine swaps, and they mention that they are using the same product in the Fox 500...

    Learned a hard lesson today

    You can still get either the red or black 3M striping from Graphic Express. They will sell you the correct width, and enough to do one car, plus a few extra feet, for mistakes! It is kind of a pain to apply, but as long as you are starting with a very clean surface, you should have no problems...

    Edelbrock vs. Trick flow vs. Holley?

    No intake beats the Holley Systemax, which is the same as the earlier Saleen/Vortech intakes. I really don't know much about the Holley heads. I went with the Trick Flow heads, because they were recommended to me by a well-respected engine builder. Specifically what he said was there are no...

    Pony rims w/ saleen centercaps.... yes or no?

    Well Saleen manufactured and sold the center caps for the Pony wheels, so obviously they didn't have an issue with them being on non-Saleen cars (the horror!) However, I agree, they are a bit plain, when compared to the running horse. But if all I had was those, I sure as heck wouldn't be...

    intake opinions?

    Saleen/Vortech is the best you can buy, if you can find one. If you can't find one of those, or can't afford one, lol, go for the Holley SysteMax, as it is essentially the same intake as the Saleen/Vortech. Those intakes will flow you up to 450 rwhp, easily, so there is room for your setup to grow..

    Need suggestions on keeping mice out of my car.

    If your car is in storage, back it on to a tarp, that is a bit larger than the car. Cover the tarp with moth balls, like two boxes worth. That worked for me, when I had to store my car at a relatives house, in the country, with plenty of mice, chipmunks and squirrels afoot. I would also second...

    aluminum driveshaft

    Don't forget the the junkyard option, the aluminum driveshaft out of certain year AWD Aerostars is the same part the Ford Racing gouges you $300+/- for.

    Dump exhaust or no?

    Dumps have no business being on a street driven car, period. I don't know about your state, but they are illegal in most states, since the exhaust is required to exit beyond the passenger compartment. Again, dumps do not belong on a street car!

    nice 93 cobra R.

    Ford took 107 orders, but only intended to build 100 cars. The lawsuit forced FoMoCo to build the 'extra' 7 cars, according to my research.

    Fox body saleen Front seats?

    Check out Seat Source. They still sell the Flofit seats. Just FYI, you cannot get the Saleen style halo/mesh headrests anymore. Also of note, the Flofits are an inexpensive (read: cheap) aftermarket seat. I have found that they are of good quality, but they are made overseas, and not as good as...

    Roush quality of ebay saleen banners?

    Many more cars came with silver, than white, I believe. White was used on the SSC's and SA-10's, and also on white cars, obviously, but not a whole lot of others.

    Roush Where to get new decal kit??

    Mustangs Unlimited still sells the graphics for your car, The chevrons and side lettering, as well. They have 4 colors, I believe, so black, silver, gold and blue? Check out their website.

    2 weeks is all it took... kid drivers

    The excuse for the accident = BS. This was just driver inexperience, plain and simple. He drove 'away' from the oncoming car, instead of holding his ground, maintaining his lane. That is my best educated guess, and I do this for a living.

    my 1st mod on the fox!!!!

    That was originally an airbag car, correct? I can see some kind of weird bump out in the panel below the steering wheel that looks out of place with that steering wheel?

    To stagger or not????

    The wheels you have look fantastic! They are actually quite similar to the Saleen SC style. Anyway, if you are set on changing them, staggered is the only way to go. For example, Saleen always used a staggered setup with either 8" front/9" rear or 7.5" front/8.5" rear (on the late Foxbody cars...

    new ford racing superchargers???

    The only supercharger I have seen Ford Racing marketing as their own is the Powerdyne? As an aside, I have never heard anything positive about the Powerdyne products (internal kevlar belts breaking, poor customer support etc. etc.). Is their a new supercharger that FRRP is marketing as their...

    need combo suggestions

    Trickflow heads, for the win! I know that the AFR head flow (ever so slightly) better, but the price they get for them, they should be made out of gold and platinum, and AFR's support after the sale is probably some of the worst in the industry.
