    Trying to fix the infamous water leak

    You need to buy new cowl panel grommets, Tasca sells them. I've had the same issue and asked about it elsewhere a couple months ago.

    Painting Louvers

    If you want to paint them yourself, make sure whatever paint you use has a UV inhibitor in it. Most standard spray paints don't and won't hold up to constant UV exposure. Automotive type spray paints should have it though, I'm not completely sure.

    Auto or manual? First things I'd try is cleaning the MAF sensor and throttle body.

    05 gt brake upgrade to '11 brembo HELP !!

    My question would be, are the wheels the same width? Possibly they had a wider wheel in the rear which could possible have a different offset (although that seems really weird)? Might want to take all the wheels off and check them. That's really strange though.

    What are the best brakes for a 2008 GT?

    Stainless lines are always a good upgrade because they reduce line expansion under braking. High temp fluid is probably overkill but fine too.

    Ebay perhaps? Or someplace like Latemodel Resto.

    Question about console lid

    I believe it's to hold maps, business cards, etc. I've never used it.

    What are the best brakes for a 2008 GT?

    Factory with good pads. Slotted and drilled rotors do essentially nothing except look cool, and drilled ones tend to crack. Factory Brembo upgrade is an option but requires either factory 19" wheels, or possibly aftermarket 18" wheels with the right offset to clear them.

    Possible blown engine. Loud knock. Need advice. VIDEOS INCLUDED!

    Might need to get a professional diagnosis on that, but if you're randomly losing oil pressure I would say something is not good. Could possible be a spun bearing, but it's hard to say.

    Dash trim

    I've seen the pieces on ebay before, you have to swap out the whole part to get the trim though. It's glued onto the dash AFAIK.

    Clutch compatibility

    I would think it would be OK- can't say for sure, but on my old Thunderbird I used a Centerforce clutch disc with a Luk pressure plate and it was fine.

    Cat deletes

    You have to get a tune to turn off the rear O2 sensors or you will have a constant check engine light. If you get a tune you don't even need to have the rear O2's plugged in or installed.

    How often / what mileage to replace shocks and struts?

    I always heard around 50K miles to replace shocks/struts but you can get more life out of them than that.

    Trim Removal

    If I remember correctly you have to pop off the side pieces (trim on either side of the center console), they are just held in with those spring post fasteners, and that should expose the screws for the radio and HVAC faceplates. I believe you just have to grip those side trim pieces and pull...

    Air Bag Recall Postcard

    I got that one too. Hell I've been getting one from them every week since last fall. I guess I need to get mine in and get the passenger side done (had the driver's side done last year, they didn't have parts for the passenger side at the time)

    One Bell Housing Bolt holding me up

    If there's any chance you could shift the whole mess forward enough to get an angle grinder (with cutoff wheel) or saw in there to cut the bolt head off, that's probably your best option. Otherwise, if it's siezed up you don't have too many other options, that's a tough area to get at.

    2007 3v cam options

    Did you check the phaser end of the new cams for metal chips from machining? That has been an issue, the chips can get stuck in the VCT solenoid screen and cause problems. When I installed my cams, on the first set one of the oil passages was drilled incorrectly on the passenger side cam. Gave...
