    Pics of speakers inside door

    You've got the number of speakers right. Ford counts the mid and tweater in the components as seperate speakers so markets the Shaker 500 a 8 speaker system. The sizes of the factory door and rear speakers are actually 5x7 but 6x8s will fit in the enclosures (6x9's however will NOT). The rear...

    Pics of speakers inside door

    No the speakers are all 4ohm. I actually have my old ones on ebay right now but won't post the links as I'm sure it validates rules. But it says 4ohm on them and when I had the 4-ways installed we checked the impedence on them as well as the door subs. Earl

    Pics of speakers inside door

    I replaced both the door and rear speakers in my GT with Pioneer 4-way 6x8s and I can guarantee you there is NOT a full range signal going to those rear speakers. FORD is getting away with the damn dinky papercone rears because they are NOT receiveing a full range signal. Anyone that thinks...

    How is the leather interior holding up?

    I have the red leather - no problemo. I do have tinted windows (black GT). Protect the seats with Mcguires leather conditioner towels.

    Dunno. I intend to broach the subject with the dealership again when I take it in for its 3000mi oil change. Earl

    Question for the pros

    Ok, Sacha has it dead on and it sounds like he speaks from experience as do I. I'm 41 now. But I started working part time when I was 13. By the time I was 16 I purchased my SECOND car - a 1976 TransAM with the 403 engine. I souped it up and drove it like a maniac. I grew up in a town...

    Who owns an 05 as their first Ford/Mustang?

    I am one of the "new" old converts. I allways loved the look of the 60's and early 70's ponycars. Couldn't care less for anything made afterwards. But I'm not a mechanic and didn't want the maintenance hassles of having a daily driver with 200-300,000 miles or more on it. The '05 was just...

    Lots of heat from center floorboard....Trouble?

    I never notice it when the temps are that low. Wait till it gets in the mid 80s to 90's and you've been driving it for an hour or two. You'll notice.

    Lots of heat from center floorboard....Trouble?

    I can gaurantee you alot of people will notice it this summer! :) I suspect a heatshield or insulation modification TSB will be out late summer or so timeframe as people in our climates where it will get over 100 degrees will definitely feel it. But then, they knew about the screwed up...

    Mother nature destroyed my baby.

    I'm in the Richardson/Plano area. I had the dealership take care of it (North Central Ford) but I know they farmed the work out - probably to Lute Rielley. Alot of dealerships are doing away with their body shops since they get $40 or so an hour for body work as opposed to $85 for mechanical...

    Dealer selling new Shelby's at $5K over invoice!!!

    SVT you are right and so am I. I meant the DEALER (used the word Ford - hell Honda or Chevy wouldn't have been appropriate, they are FORD dealers afterall) as is the case with the Ford GT. They will sell these Shelby's for whatever the market can bear. It is simple. If the demand is great...

    Mother nature destroyed my baby.

    I too live in Texas (dodged the hail today) and live in fear of the crap with my new GT. If it is any consolation - the paintless dent removal pros are damn good. Our '03 Explorer had significant hail damage when we bought it new off the lot. They got it out to the point that I couldn't...

    Lots of heat from center floorboard....Trouble?

    Is the weather there warmer than it has been? I'm in Texas. I really only notice it when it gets hotter. I just turn on the AC and fugetaboutit. Though maybe next time its at the dealership (oh yeah, there's gonna be many next times) I'm going to try to make them insulate that hump better...

    Lots of heat from center floorboard....Trouble?

    Don't worry...mine is the same way. I don't know how the others haven't noticed it. Check the floor there under your carpet on the floorboard by the firewall - feel that thick padding? Now, check the hump. Notice, no padding. - not the same type and thickness anyways. We are simply...

    Dealer selling new Shelby's at $5K over invoice!!!

    Do you have any public or media statement to that effect? Everything I have read has said production will only be 7500 units for the first several years. That ain't alot of cars. Which is the point. You think Ford who learned that if you produced a few amount of cars with the GT and...

    Dealer selling new Shelby's at $5K over invoice!!!

    As I understand it, production is capped next year on the Shelby at 7500 units. As long as the demand is not significantly more than that - it would stay around MSRP. I for one can't get it as I A) allready have a GT and B) wouldn't pay 40-50k for a 'stang. But there are plenty that...

    OH Hail !!!!!

    I agree with the others here about having a PROFESSIONAL do it. We purchased our '03 Explorer new on the lot where it had sustained pretty good hail damage. I of course got a break on the vehicle, then agreed to pay $500 to have ALL of the dents done using P.D.R. - knowing full well it...

    Dealer selling new Shelby's at $5K over invoice!!!

    It's all supply and demand. Think how lucky someone that would have reserved a Ford GT for $5k over MSRP ($140k) a year before release would have been once they hit the dealer lots and began selling for bids at $230k... I would not count on the Shelby's selling for anywhere near $5k markup...

    2005 GT Paint Haze/oxidation.

    What exactly cuases the hazing/oxidation I have seen on my black Mustang GT? Was it factory overspray? Can it be caused by an automatic car wash? Yeah I know, supposed to do it all by hand. Well I do at least do the waxing/buffing (McGuires Gold Class) and constantly keep it nice between...
