    Mach 1 chin spoiler

    i had the little ford plastic cap things, but all your doing it fixing it to the bottom lip of the bumper.. if i hadnt gotten the pieces in the kit, i'd have just put some sheet metal screws or something of that nature in it.. not in the stock holes, just through the solid part so it gets more...

    Add 60HP For $299!!

    Also curious on any N/A folks running this kit.. The stang's winter sound seems to be a bit deeper and thicker opposed to the warmer weather, which I love.. If I could get that sound 365 days a year I would be a happy man!

    Possible AEM and DC Sports products for the modular Mustangs. Your imput please.

    If the product is proven on multiple cars and manufactured with quality in mind then I see no reason why I would pass any brand up. I couldn't care less if they made toasters first as long as what they made for my car was of good quality and competitively priced.

    4.10 or 3.73

    '00 GT Auto and loving 3.73's I do 90% highway driving, and love the cruising sound of the car at like 2500 rpm doing 60-70.. If I were to get gears tomorrow tho, honestly I might get 4.10's; the car came with the 3.73's so I figure leave well enough alone for now.

    Optima Red Top Battery

    i've had a Red Top Optima for ~8-10 months now and it's started every time. for 120$ it's worth it. picked it up at a local auto store and installed it in 5 min in the parking lot. piece of mind ever since.

    Hood Gas Shocks Group Purchase

    I'm undecided now at this point.. Not for nothing but they are just gouging the shipping to make the cash back anyways.. They want 20$ to ship 2 kits.. It's more on principal than the $, but that's just a ripoff. Especially since they can just drop a half dozen kits into a Priority Box for 3$...

    Gas mileage is horrable?!

    I've been getting ~18mpg in my '00 GT since the day i got it used last year. It has some unknown chip plugged into the computer for the gears the previous owner put in, but i'll probably replace it with a Predator and see if that helps it out any.

    Gauge wiring question

    It's the brown wire on the wiring harness for the headlight nob. I spliced into the wire and soldered it in so it doesnt come loose. There's 2 bolts holding the bracket onto the dash, don't remember the size though.

    Gauge wiring question

    Good question.. When I searched the forums a few months ago when I did my gauges it was infamous then.. So I figure it should remain so now :)

    Gauge wiring question

    I used the infamous big brown wire on the headlight switch.. I actually had a harder time finding a ground that would work.. Ended up using the big frame tube behind the cluster to ground it.

    Rocksford Fosgate Amps

    I recently installed a RF 451S amp to power an Infinity 120.3dvc 12" sub and it sounds great. The bass hits so hard and crystal clear. I picked the 451S and bridged it with the one sub for now, and can eventually use it to power a set of components if I ever reupgrade the front speakers from...

    Dynamat - where to put it

    I picked up a roll of the Gatorskin stuff, I think it's made by Cascade. I chose it for the sole reason that *something* is going to be better than nothing, and it looks a lot nicer. Not like many are lifting the trunk lining to look at the floor and spare, but I just preferred the look enough...

    Best 12" Subwoofers?

    I just picked up a Infinity 120.3dvc sub and powered it with a rockford fosgate 451s bridged and i cant possibly imagine needing more bass in my car ('00 gt).. it sounds great, hits really clean, and when i want the thunderous bass it's there for the taking.

    I just installed one last week as well.. Really easy install.. I dont think it will rust since there was no metal drilling involved.. You are drilling into the plastic bumped on the underneath side.. The shavings off the drill bit were black. Really easy install.. Hardest part was getting my...
