    Because they're masters at decontenting and all-around cheap bastards.

    Western Motorsports CAI

    There is a banner ad on Stang.net for Western Motorsports' ram air intake. Does anyone run one of these or have more info? Their website (wmsracing.com) is down.

    )))XM Radio(((

    I don't have XM in my Stang, but I do in my Crown Vic. The antenna is magnetic, so no worries with hole drilling. I mounted mine on the trunk, in the center, up near the rear window. Then I just ran the lead thru the rear bulkhead and under the carpet. I haven't had any reception problems with...

    Rear-End Gears?

    I have an '06 GT 5-speed. Does it have 3.55 gears? Do you have to re-flash the computer when changing to 4.10s?

    The spoiler: to delete or not to delete, that is the question

    Do you really think that Ford spent time in the wind tunnel designing the spoiler to provide downforce at speed? :rlaugh: It's strictly eye candy.

    The spoiler: to delete or not to delete, that is the question

    I wanted my car to have the '65 Shelby look, so I optioned spoiler delete. Everyone that has seen my car says it looks so much better without the spoiler. I personally don't care for the look of the factory spoiler, but it's strictly a personal decision on what you like and don't like. I highly...

    Ordered LeMans Stripes - Help!

    It depends on what look you are after. They will not cover the bumpers like the ones I have on my car. They will be much easier for the installer to put on, though. The over-the-bumper stripes are a real PITA to install. I would not let the dealer put them on. Ask around town and find out...

    Aftermarket floor mats?

    Anybody have aftermarket (custom) floor mats in their '05-'06? I told the dealer to leave my factory mats in the baggie, so I need some mats. I have the Ford Racing mats now, and they are crap. They are barely bigger than the heapie-cheapie Kmart mats I put in temporarily. I want to get some...

    Street Scene Grill Installed

    Yeah, they did. I wish I had looked at them closer when I was there. But I'm sure they put many hours in the SEMA cars making sure they were right on the money. I'm going to wait for a new and improved version before I order one.

    new Challenger

    I want I want I want! I think it looks great. We'll see how the production version comes out. I bet they keep it true to the Challenger roots. They learned their lesson with the Charger. Now if I can just get the 'Stang paid off before it comes out...

    I was planning on going next August. Thanks for the info!

    challenger dead?

    They've already admitted that it will be on display at the auto show in January. They'll have to build it because the public will go nuts for it.

    Where to stay at Dream Cruise?

    I'm thinking of heading for the Woodward Dream Cruise this year. Can anyone tell me the best place to stay to see all the action? I don't want to stay in a dump or a bad part of town.

    Steering Shimmy at Speed =\

    I've run into the same thing on my Crown Vic going from a 7" wheel to an 8" wheel. The tires balance out fine, and the runout on all the wheels is within spec. I've been told I need hubcentric rings.

    Anyone have Taillight sequencers by Classic Design Concepts

    How do the sequential lights look when the brake lights are on? I'm assuming at least one of the lights has to stay on steady burn for the brake light. How does this affect the sequencing? Anybody have a video of their car with the brake lights and turn signals on?

    Street Scene Grill Installed

    Anybody have any info on the Barnett grille? It looks much more substantial in the photos I saw. I think I'll wait for it to come out.

    Lets see those stripes

    I think if I was doing black stripes on a yellow car, I'd do the Mach 1 style stripe in flat black, with a hood scoop.

    Lets see those stripes

    Here's mine. I think black or Tungsten with silver stripes also looks very good.

    I need advice on car covers

    I agree with davisinla. Go to a reputable company and order the thickest cover they make. I've even seen some that were extra-thick to guard against bumps. Get one that is custom-fit for the Mustang, not a generic cover, and get one that has elastic around the bottom. Also get a cable lock...
