    GT Premium Leather question

    Yes I checked out numerous sites, that one included. Alas, like everything in my life, I choose to be difficult and order rims and tires seperately because I couldn't get them as a package. Wheels: 20x10, 20x9, CS67 Tires: 4 Nitto extreme NT-555 275/35/20 I am waiting to hear back from...

    GT Premium Leather question

    I plan on eventually lowering it, along with a deluge of other upgrades. Optimally, I want to have the wheels, tires, and the Street Scene center grill light bought and ready for the shop to balance and install. The only factor remaining is how much labor will cost me to put the wheels and...

    GT Premium Leather question

    Well then after everyone has chimed in, I think I'm going with the Deluxe GT (shaker 500 pfft) with the leather upgrade. As long as the leather covers the same amount as the GT Premium I'm fine. I am tempted to go with just the cloth seats. If the leather isn't of good quality and I stick...

    GT Premium Leather question

    Well my next upgrade after I get the wheels and rims put on it (soon as the mustang is delivered) is to upgrade the exhaust to stingers - so I guess who cares about the rolled tipped :D . I think I'm going to save ~$500 and just order a GT Deluxe and forgo the shaker 500; 8 speakers and 500...

    GT Premium Leather question

    Thanks guys this helps. It seems to me that I want the IUP, as I want the stain aluminum upper console instead of it being stitched leather. However, it seems that I can order both the IUP and the Premium Trim w/ color accent package - but that doesn't seem right. The PT w/ CA actually...

    GT Premium Leather question

    Do the Mustang GT Premiums come standard with full leather seats? I'm semi confused at the discription that ford.com has. -Under the interior options is has - Standard: Aberdeen Embossed Leather-Trimmed Sport Bucket Seats. Does this mean that the seats are just trimmed with leather, and the...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    Sounds good guys. I've decided to go with the Carroll Shelby CS67 rim - it's 20x9. However, they are planning to make it in a 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 and by the time I need it, they'll have it out. With the extra 0.5'' on the width of the wheel for a 255, using knowledge from DML tire calculator...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    Still wasn't able to get the tyretrader calculator to work, so I went with the one posted by Bigcat. Yes it's only 1-2 mph difference, I was using the wrong stock sidewall on the Mustang GT. So there is no way to correct that difference, or it meaningless? Using the calculator a 275 is 10.83...

    X-Plan vs. Haggling

    I've searched through the site reading posts regarding X-Plan pricing, and I still don't know the exact discount you receive. I've read 9% off MSRP, 5% over invoice, 5% under invoice, etc - you get the drift. Anyone have any hard facts on exactly how much the X-Plan takes off if I walked into my...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    Great info so far, and I'm now understanding how to use the calculators and actually understanding all the tire demensions. Three big questions: 1.) How does one account for the speedometer error and any other errors. Going from base Mustang 17'' tires to 18'' 275/45/18 all around gives...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    Thanks LuS1fer. I will read the website you suggested, and hit you up with one or two setups for wheel/tire in a day or so - either mustangtuning wheels or steeda ultalight. I'd like to run with 275/40/18Z in the back and 255/45/18Z in the front now that I understand the middle number is a...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    I'm thinking of going with 275/40/18 in the back, and 275/45/18 in the front. From research, I know that the back tire will be wider than the front tire. I'm still a little hazy on what the middle number will do - it's almost as if the front wheel will be taller than the back wheel - is this...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    Good point LuS1fer with the cleaning issues, I was looking at the Nitrous rim and realized it would be a pain to keep those indents clean - but I'm sure I could do it. The offsets of the Foose Nitrous wheel is 34mm? Do they come in 40mm or is there any way I can change the offset? Also I'm...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    Thanks for the info Anthony. I did checkout tirerack.com, alas they didn't have anything to my liking - I really like the Foose Nitrous rims :D . That said, I may have to buy the rims and tires seperate if I'm unable to find a website that offers the tires I want on the rims I want. I've now...

    Tire/Rim purchasing - questions

    Evening everyone. This is new territory for me as I know virtually nothing about rim/tire specifications or performance. The Mustang in question will be a stock 2007 (planned purchase spring 2007). The rims in question are Foose Nitrous Chrome 18x8 offset RWD. The site I'm using since I...

    Tell me your favorite hood out of these 2!

    How does the inlet placement screw you outta getting stripes on the RK hood- you just paint them on where you want them? The two hoods both bring to the table a different look. The CS6 hood brings a new-age look, while the Legend hood brings a more vintage apperance (hence the company name)...

    Mustang GT vs Mazda RX-8, Can't decide which to buy

    Friends don't let friends do mazda. Besides the Mustang GT superiority in almost every category, what sounds better to a woman.. "I drive a MUS-TANG, yeah it's like that." OR "I drive a Mazda RX-8, sorry baby there are no pumping pistons below this hood." :owned:

    Crappy Stock Paint! Help?

    Crappy stock paint is something we all are going to have to deal with. We are basically left picking the color we really want (however low quality that may be), or settling for another color that won't show imperfections as well as other colors. When I buy my Mustang I'm going with Vista Blue...

    C&D Review: Vette vs. GT500: My take

    I wouldn't call the Mustang a poor man's Aston Martin or BMW - and technically if we did do that comparison, the Mustang would be the dirt cheap eatting rotten vegetables poor man's Aston Martin. Other than that I agree with everything you said Mr_Q. Now the Camaro, poor man's Corvette. The...
