    What to charge for GT leather seats?

    Another possibility is Leather Seats and look through their color choices. HP TV, a show on Spike TV, used these for their Mustang project car.

    Mach 1 Hood advice!!

    I look my scoop off temporarily to change out the insert for one from CC Mustang. It isn't all that difficult. Just remove the heat pad under the hood by prying out the many plastic clips. I used a flat bar/nail puller. With that off, you will see like seven (+/-) nuts which hold the...

    Mach 1 Hood advice!!

    Yep, the 2003 and 2004 Mach 1 shaker is based off the CDC (Classic Design Concepts) kit. CDC had (and still is) selling for the GT. Ford tweaked it up a bit and improved it, by the time it went to the factory for the 2003 and 2004 Mach 1. Since then, CDC has folded back into its own kit, the...

    theft light

    Does the car still start????? I thought the light comes on to indicate a bad key.

    side scoop removal

    I took my off temporarily to replace the grills with some much better looking ones (see CC Mustang). It wasn't too difficult. I just grabbed a hold of them firmly and tugged. Kind of like interior trim panels. The rear quarter panel has four small holes for the four clips which hold on the...

    Brake upgrades

    HP TV, a car show on Spike TV, did a brake upgrade on their Mustang GT project car. The gain they got, was shorting down their braking distance from 60 MPH by 18 feet.

    05 V6 power potential

    I think people forget that GM was putting 4 cylinders into the much larger and heavier Camaros and Firebirds of the time. :bang:

    Mach 1 Buyer's Remorse

    A lot of people with the 5sp (Mach 1 and GT) find that the shifter is a bit stiff when shifting from 1st to 2nd. If you don't get it fully into 2nd, the gears will embarrassingly grind. :doh: Basically, you pulled the shift all the way back into it "stopped" thinking you are in 2nd, and...

    Steeda Alloy Steel Strut Brace

    Two things come to mind... (1) You don't know for sure what is behind the actual spot you will be drilling unless you look, and (2) don't you have to put a nut back there to hold the bolt??

    Before buying a new Ford consider this...

    I believe there is a line of reasoning Ford is using, is that if one is making performance mods to your Mustang, one must be taking advantage of those mods, and therefore, technically "abusing" your car. If Ford believes one is abusing their car, they can void the warranty. There doesn't have...

    Black Mach 1s

    There aren't any Mach 1's with factory stripes and decals in any other color than black. I guess Ford's website designer felt that a black Mach 1 just had to have stripes in another color, and changed the stripe color to white/silver themselves. Its a "photoshop" thing only. However, if...

    What to charge for GT leather seats?

    From what I have seen these go for, I would say between $500 and $700 for the set. Given it is your buddy, I would go toward the lower end of $500.

    removeable hard top!!

    I had read a long time ago, that there are quite a bit of subtle differences between a regular conv body, and the type designed to accommodate the removable hardtop. There was an aftermarket company which made removable hardtops for SN95 Mustangs which fit without mods. However, I can't seem...

    lost a piece for my top

    You can try Ford Parts. Is that a valid part number? Parsing it out, I think it would be F4ZZ-76515-a32a which is too many suffix characters, no? :shrug:

    Steeda Alloy Steel Strut Brace

    I don't know about Steeda, but Ford uses M8-1.25x25, 24mm bolts. I found these at Pep Boys as P/N 45897.

    how do i repaint my airbag???

    Apparently, a body shop replaced his original air bag + cover with a used one of a different color, then attempted to re-paint it to match. Now, that paint is failing, and the OP needs to paint it again. He is just asking how to do it, so that the paint doesn't fail again. I have never done...

    x plan a plan

    Ford decides which models they will offer x-plan prices on, and which they don't. In other words, there are some models for which there aren't any x-plan deals, and the dealership has no say in it. So, there is no guarantee at this time, that any of the '05 Mustangs will be included. It is...
