    Satin/matte black stripes - painted or vinyl?

    I know the question of painted vs vinyl has been asked numerous times, but I couldn't find a thread on the satin / matte color. I'm looking to get the Shelby type stripes on my black '06 GT, and I really love the look of the satin / matte black stripes on a gloss black car. I was planning to get...

    Are rear seats leather?

    I think they can feel similar, but from what I understand, vinyl is a form of plastic and isn't from nature like leather. I'm no expert, but from what I've read on various car care and detailing sites, there are specific products that work best with vinyl, and others that work best with leather.

    Are rear seats leather?

    Thanks for the responses. I kinda figured the back seats weren't leather. I use Lexol Leather Cleaner and Lexol Leather Conditioner for my seats that are leather, and I use Lexol Vinylex for the vinyl seats. Leather and vinyl are quite different in what they're made of, and in my experience...

    Are rear seats leather?

    I have a '06 GT with the Premium option and leather seats. Looking closely at the rear seats, they do not appear to be made of the same material as the front seats. I looked closely at the "diamond" imprints, and they seem quite different. I know on the front seats, the only part that is leather...

    excessive rear brake pad wear

    My '06 GT's left rear brake seems to have been hanging up, and now that wheel is down to metal-to-metal contact. I can hear the brakes hanging on after I release the brake petal at a stop sign for about 20-30 yards. I'm going to replace the rotors, but before I do, I want to make sure I don't...

    Tail Light Mod

    I've always been careful backing up in parking lots, as I never trust that someone else is paying attention. I don't know of any laws that require you to have back-up lights on your vehicle.

    Tail Light Mod

    I think Ford did a great job with the back end of the car, except I wanted a little more retro look for the tail lights. I went after '69-'70 look, and tinted the back up light lens, so the light is all one color. What do you think?

    changing grilles help please

    How much smaller is the grill? Is the difference in the width, height, or both? Anyone know of a black mesh grill replacement (not bolt over) without lights for a GT?

    Tires on 2006?

    Does anyone know what tires come standard on the 2006 GT with 17" wheels? I know last year they all shipped with Pirelli Nero Zeros, and am wondering if that is the same for this year. To those who have picked up their '06s, what tires came on your 17" rims?

    GT500 Wheel Info?

    I guess I'm confused. :shrug: I thought the offset was the difference between the centerline of the wheel and the mounting point. With the Mustang's positive offset, if the number is higher, it moves the mounting surface farther from the center point, which then moves the wheel closer to the...

    GT500 Wheel Info?

    So at 45mm offset for the 9.5s, the wheel is about 3/4" closer to the strut. No rubbing on any components? A 53mm offset would put it about 1" closer. I'd be surprised if there wouldn't be some kind of rubbing...

    GT500 Wheel Info?

    What offset for 9.5" wide wheels? I contacted SVT and they indicated that the production Shelby would start with 18" wheels. He stated the show car had wheels that were custom built from a supplier, and that they probably would not be on the market. He could not give me the offset. I also...

    GT500 Wheel Info?

    Looking at the specs on the GT500, they fit a 19x9.5 wheel in what looks like a stock wheel opening. Does anybody have the offset on this wheel? Better yet, is the wheel available for purchase? I had the chance to get up close and personal with a Ford GT, and it had 19s on the rear, and I'm...
