    Has anyone had their mirrors painted to match their car??

    myxmach1 might be able to help you out on this one. If a guy was going to do it himself, you could just go to an auto paint supply store with your paint code and make you up some. They can even put it into a spray can for you if you'd like. I think for this project I would let a guy...

    Has anyone had their mirrors painted to match their car??

    I would imagine the best way would be for the housing/mirrors to be removed from the car. Then separate the mirrors so that all you have is the black plastic. Then a bunch of sanding to make it smooth. Then prime, paint, sand and polish. I was considering to have the mirrors and the plenum...

    Has anyone had their mirrors painted to match their car??

    This is not my car. But I think the painted mirrors make the car. It's like a woman in a nice dress. When she puts the earrings on it finishes off the look.

    Amazing race did you see the Stang

    I caught a glimpse of it. But my wife saw it and went ballistic. "Did you see the Mustang? Did you see the Mustang?' as she jumped up from the couch. It looked like a Silver colored one to me.

    Head rests

    I feel that the driver should dictate the position of the seat. My headrest should not dictate where I put my seat and seatback. If I pull out the headrest, (ie. remove it), and then adjust the seat where it is in a comfortable driving position for me, then replace the headrest, it is in the...

    Head rests

    I just sat in my son's new 2005 Pontiac G6. Guess what? The headrests are designed perfectly. Unlike the 2005 Mustang. When I pull the headrest up (3 clicks), the headrest is aligned with the back of my head (not neck) and there is about 2 to 3 inches between the headrest and my head...

    Head rests

    Haven't modified it yet and probably won't. We will just have to deal with it and keep the seat back reclined a bit. Anyway, I'm RTB. :flag: Me too!!

    Head rests

    I AGREE that your head should NOT be resting on the head rest. That IS the problem. My wife who is 5' 6'' and myself who is 6' both have the same problem. The back of our head presses against the headrest with our head tilted forward in an unnatural position. The "workaround fix" is to...

    Head rests

    So, driving with my chin buried in my chest is the new standard. There are 3 ways for me to correct the headset problem. 1. Lay the seat back and sleep. 2. Remove it. 3. Bend it to its proper angle. P.S. Leaning the seat back to TRY and correct the design flaw with the headrest...

    AMSOIL Motor Oil Service Interval?

    I use good old fashion 10W-30 oil. I change the oil and filter every 3000 miles. It costs me on average $8.00 to do it. It also gets me underneath the car and underneath the hood to check for other items that might be going hay wire. So........ 3000 miles.......................$8.00...

    AMSOIL Motor Oil Service Interval?

    When I grew up we had 8 people in our family. We didn't change the bathwater until after the 3rd person was finished with their bath. The 4th person would then filter the water with used panty hose and take his/her bath. Then the 7th person did the same as the 4th. We then had the crud (you...

    Swing by Ford and pick them up for FREE!! Better yet, let them install the damn bolts that should have been there in the first place.

    Head rests

    https://www.fleet.ford.com/showroom/2006fleetshowroom/2006-mustang.asp Look under Major Optional Features. Something like Adjustable 2 way headrest. This is the only place I have seen this so far. The 2005 headrest are not ergonomically correct. I'm only 6' tall and my wife is 5' 6"...

    Head rests

    Yep, on my wifes first test drive that is the first thing she commented on was the headrest. And I agree. They are angled to far forward. Nothing a heating torch won't take care of and bend them where they should be located in the first place. I guess Ford has taken notice and that is why...

    What oil viscosity is everyone using? [If you've changed it yet, of course]

    I would not change it now. However, living in the San Antone area, the next oil change I would use 10W-30 for the summer months. All that you have done by going to a 0W weight oil is make it lower the viscosity for cold weather start ups. For where you live the temperature doesn't even go...

    '05 Transmission problems

    Okay, I give up. Since there is no transmission dipstick on a 2005 Ford Mustang, what type of stick did you use to measure the transmission fluid level and determine that it was about a quart low?

    New 05 order

    My Priority Code is 40. I ordered under the X Plan. I don't know what the codes mean. As far as deposits go, you can get your deposit back.

    Boyd Coddington Crazy Horse 2

    The tires do not fit the wheels properly either. They are not wide enough for the width of that particular wheel. You have no rim protection. One other thing bad about it. It has Boyd Coddington connected with it.
