    Finally getting windows tinted

    Just got mine back 20 % looks great. I feel your pain Tricky, I got one a few years ago in my wife's G6. The state trooper had one of those 2 piece checkers. I think he was riding around looking for someone to try out his new toy on. I've had tinted windows on everything since 2000, 11 years 1...

    Finally getting windows tinted

    Yeah I think 20 is what I'll get. Its not so dark it screams, pull me over, but dark enough to make a huge difference. Thanks for the reply.

    Finally getting windows tinted

    So I'm finally getting my windows tinted tomorrow. What would look better on a 04 screaming yellow 35% which is allowed around here or 20% which is not. Or that super badass mirror tint LOL. I think with 35 on the yellow car it would be enough contrast to pop. What do you all think ?

    Gears for Daily driver 04 GT????

    3.73 put me in the drone zone but i have an ORX and flowmasters, milage isn't much worse than stock what I lost on the highway I seem to have found in town (being able to cruise around in 5th) 1st gear is so deep its nearly useless but 2nd and third pull like a mofo. If I didn't have 20 miles...

    2002 GT Planned mods

    If its a 5 speed i would do a short throw shifter first. I like my MGW , some will say tri ax or pro 5.0. Any of these will do the job. They are not too expensive, are easy to install, and greatly improve 2nd to 3rd shifts.

    Does this 'Stang sound nice?

    I don't know about up north, but for an auto that sounds high ( for the dirty south ) . The miles are low but its still a 12 year old car and its not a special edition or anything . Its really up to you what you think is a fair price. My thinking is being that its a run of the mill gt its only...

    P0153 code

    I do have mils on the rear o2s. I do need to either buy, or make some exstensions for my sensors. Are the rear o2 sensors the same as the fronts ? I ask because the used x pipe I bought had nearly new ones in it. If they are the same I have a spare set. I drove a little over 20 miles to work...

    P0153 code

    04 gt bbk off road x pipe got code p0153 earlier reset it tried three key cycles and not coming back any thing to worry about ? I ask because it seems like the passenger o2 sensor wire was tight when I installed off road mid pipe.

    help??

    Sounds like a bad converter, If they don't smog check where you live you could probably by an off road x or h pipe cheaper than having your cats replaced. I could see how a bad o2 could ruin a cat raw fuel kills them.

    This is what happens when a robin doesnt like your car...

    I have two big maple trees in my front yard. I swear birds sit in those trees wait on me to wash and dry my car. Then when I go inside they crap all over it . I found one of my kids plastic snakes and started laying it on the roof of my car and it helps alot . I think they make a fake owl you...

    Headers: chrome vs. ceramic

    Ceramic headers flow better because they keep more heat in the tubes . They also reduce under hood temps. They won't turn colors or rust and last a really long time in my opinion it's worth the extra to get coated headers.

    New shocks and struts, and now im clunking

    I'm running fox body shocks and struts on my 04. They are an inch give or take shorter than the stock ones. Good luck man, so they are saying their shocks for 94-04 are softer than the stock shocks, since you say your stockers don't bottom out.

    New shocks and struts, and now im clunking

    If you get your money back you should be able to get some tokico blues for around 300 bucks. Thats what I have on mine lowered two inches , haven't noticed any odd sounds. Good luck on getting a refund on parts you installed most places won't refund parts that have been installed.

    New shocks and struts, and now im clunking

    Unless you have one hell of an air ratchet ( not impact wrench right ) I don't know if you would be able to get the fronts tight enough. Have a friend hold a large screwdriver in the slot on the strut and tighten the piss out of them with a large adjustable or boxed end wrench . The shaft in the...

    Do you mean you can move them up and down or side to side or both ways? Are you sure all fastners are tight?

    Jones mufflers at LRS

    I think the ones in that you tube clip are the chambered flowmaster knock off they make. I would like to hear the magnaflow style muffler they make. The jones mufflers in that video sound about like my set up now. I think I'm just one of those that don't like the sound of chambered mufflers on a...

    Jones mufflers at LRS

    Thanks for the responses guys. I have an offroad x pipe on the car. I saw the jones mufflers and thought they might be worth a try, at the worst they suck and I'm out a little over 100 bucks. They appear to be basically the same design as magnaflows. I would rather have the real deal but for...

    Jones mufflers at LRS

    I currently have flowmasters welded in my exhaust. I installed 373 FRPP gears about three weeks ago. I drive twenty miles on the interstate to work everyday. The drone from the flows sucked with stock gears now the drone really sucks. I found some muffler made by jones that looks like some kind...
