    advantage of offroad h?

    I'll second that. I bought mine soley as a sound upgrade. Any increases in power (likely minimal) are just a positive side-effect.

    First time out in the stang for 2009

    I just got mine out a couple weeks ago as well. Parked it on October 14th, got it out March 9th. Felt good to fire it up for the first time in months. I lucked out last fall when my dad sold one of his toys. It freed up a bay in his garage, so I had a heated/critter-free bay to park it...

    Getting tinted next week, finally

    My philosophy is, you're looking out of your windshield 98% of the time (or should be), so that's the one window that SHOULD be tinted. Like I said, I've had that setup on my last 3 cars, it's what I'm used to. Of course, the dash color/fade argument is a good one, but doesn't really...

    how many miles are on your 99-04?

    Sweet deal. :nice: Mine was similar/exactly the same. '99 w/15900 on it, he sold it to me for <$15k. I couldn't pass it up.

    Getting tinted next week, finally

    I've had 35% on the whole windshiled on the past 3 cars I've owned. With the dark strip on top, they don't think about it. I just want to go a little lighter this time, which will make the contrast between the visor band and the rest even more so. I'd been pulled over a few times with...

    Getting tinted next week, finally

    Got an appt set up to get the car darkened a bit. $205 for every square inch of glass (including w/s, which was $50). Thought that sounded like a good deal. They were recommended to me by a friend I've known for 30+ years. they've done countless tint jobs for him over the past 10 years, so I...

    Disable rear 02 sensors, options?

    Would a Ford dealership/service garage disable them for you, or is it something they "can't" do? I've got MILs, but I'd rather just cancel them altogether. Suggestions?

    STOPTECHS ON AND POPPIN!!!

    Looks aside (they look awesome), the actual performance of them has to be night/day. Did you s**t your pants the first time you stomped on them? I did. :D The car feels like it wants to flip over it's nose. But, if you were only going for an appearance upgrade, I'd have to agree with...

    its christmas in march!!!!

    Christmas indeed. :) Christmas was yesterday for me. I finally got the car out of hibernation, after 6 months. Felt like a 14 year old kid again with my hand on a boob for the first time.

    Is it legal to put 20% window tint or darker on our back window?

    I figured as much. :) I really don't think tint is such a big deal to police as it used to be. For a while around here, they had a hard-on for it, pulling over anybody that didn't have clear glass. I guess they found more important things to worry about, like the 2-3 meth labs that are...

    I'll give them a call to get a general idea on cost. Thanks again for the heads up.

    WINTER IS BS!

    I hear you on winter. I haven't even seen my car since October 19th. Hopefully winter will settle down in a few more weeks, then rain for about 2 more and get all the salt off the roads. I'm hoping I'll be able to romp on it by the end of April... Weak.

    Is it legal to put 20% window tint or darker on our back window?

    Also, if you have an optometrist's prescription, you can put about anything on it. Not to say you won't get pulled over, but you'd be exempt from any possible ticket they could give you. I really don't think I'd go much darker than 20% on the back. Backing up at night is worrysome. I had...

    Northern Indiana dyno/tuning service?

    The one in Matteson, IL is probably only a couple hours (2.5-ish) from me. Thanks for the info fellas. :)

    Is it legal to put 20% window tint or darker on our back window?

    In Indiana: Operable windows: 35% max Fixed/inoperable: no limit. Windshield: No go (well, you can do 4-5" down fromt he top and/or 5-6" up fromthe bottom, which looks stupid). All my cars in the past had 35% on the doors, and 20% on the rest, with 35% on the windshiled plus an 8% band...

    Northern Indiana dyno/tuning service?

    Spring is (hopefully) almost here and the car is going to be out of hibernation. That said, I'm curious about having it tuned (going to change the pulley and get a CAI, cheap mods, for now) and will need it tuned. I'm in NE Indiana, would BrenSpeed be the place to go? Or is there a place...

    let me know what you think.....(Stoptech's)

    The friend I bought the car from put them on it. The thing wants to flip over it's nose when you stomp on the binders. It's awesome. I'm unsure which models they are exactly, but I think I remember him saying they're the 4-piston model (with 13" vented rotors). He also put metallic race...
