    Tree Sap Attack!!

    Well, at the time of this post, you made this request a little over a day ago. If you get to it quickly, you can wash it off. Meguiars NXT Generation car wash is amazing. They also have a Speed Detailer which is a mist and wipe product for you to use in between washes. If the sap is dried up...

    Some pics after Zaino

    KEEP THE CAR WET!!! Wash one section at a time and rinse constantly. After the entire car is washed, take the nozzle off the hose and let a stream of water run over the whole car on medium pressure. This will "sheet" the water, leaving behind minimal water to be picked up. I use Meguiar's water...

    Same thing here. Only on light braking though. Maybe some stuff like brake quiet would help

    VIN: 1ZVFT84NX55198888 - Is that 198,888 Mustangs?

    Well, I just had warranty work done and noticed something interesting on the work order. On the top right, it says the following: Production: 021505 Now, my car was built week of Feb 7. Can 021505 mean that the production date was Feb 15? I don't know why this would be on a work order...

    Strut Bearings replaced

    1.5 hours shown on the work order. I left the car all day because I was at work. Plus, I had the vapor mgt valve replaced that day too.

    Strut Bearings replaced

    Sorry, my mistake. The tech said the problem was corrected as per the TSB. I've heard of people getting the bearings lubricated which caused the problem to re-occur but I thought that bearing replacement WAS the total fix. I'll check the work order to see exactly what was done. Thanks for...

    VIN: 1ZVFT84NX55198888 - Is that 198,888 Mustangs?

    Why would you subtract 100001, and not 100000. I think sam_abuelsamid is right. 198888-100000=98888.

    Strut Bearings replaced

    Well, since my car was going in for the check engine light (vapor maintenence valve), I had them replace the strut bearings. If you are experiencing the popping noise, I would definitely get this done. Quick job and the difference is very noticeable

    Fog Lamp Tinting pics

    Crash, I can't view the pic. All I see is the red square. I'm curious about the LEDs, plus I like the blackout look. I'm a firefighter and want to add lights but I I don't want them to be visible when off. I like the tint over the lights idea to hide the strobes. I was thinking stobes in the...

    How much do you want your payments to be?

    I never tell the salesman what I want to pay per month until a price has been set and they have given me an interest rate and payment amount. The numbers can be played with. A monthly payment means nothing in relation to the price I am willing to pay for the car. You asked: "Wouldn't you be...

    sure, it's great in straight lines, but....

    I think what jasonlee was trying to say is that the Z was engineered for handling. So if you compare the Mustang's handling to the Z, of course it will look bad. It's like saying the Z has poor straight line ability. Maybe, if compared to the Mustang's. Just remember: It's all relative. But I...

    1,355 miles...Check Engine light

    Everytime I drive to Atlantic City I stop at the same gas station to fill up. Everytime, I forget that you can't pump your own gas. I can relate to lynch mob gas attendants. Oh wait, fuel delivery specialists :rlaugh:

    How perfect do you want it to be?

    Good point. I guess we can all live with the "cheap" floor mats or the lack of an interior trunk release. But these are examples of things that we knew about prior to purchasing the vehicle; things that I considered before choosing to buy this car. If I sat in and examined this car (or any other...

    How perfect do you want it to be?

    I completely satisfied with the car. You say, "You bought a Ford, realize it." Undestood, but there has to a certain level of quality expected. My intention of this thread was to try to figure out what was expected of a Ford Mustang and what level of quality was to be acceptable. By no means am...

    How perfect do you want it to be?

    That's my feeling. I am hesitant to "complain" to the dealer because of minor problems. It is, after all, a mass production car. I had a $26,700 sticker on my car. If I caompare the Mustang to other car in that price range, I bet I can find some nicer features, better quality paint...

    My paint is starting to look/feel very strange... PLEASE Read/Respond!!

    I also have that "film" look on my black 05 (on the trunk). It's not rough, however. I've mentioned it on these boards before. Meguiar's Scratch X seemed to do the trick. Compared to the other section of the trunk that had the same issue, most of it came off. Scratch X works in stages. It won't...

    Are talking about on the door or the center console. If you flip uo the door on the console, there is a peice of plastic that somewhat matches your description. I keep a note pad in there so it doesn't bounch around in the console itself. On the bottom of the inside of the console is a access...

    Black rims on white cars?

    I think it would look cool. Just be careful. You have a white car, red seats, black rims. Throw in painted calipers and...I'm not saying it wn't look good. I actually think the colors will compliment each other. Just keep in mind that there will be a lot of colors on you car.

    How perfect do you want it to be?

    I was wondering what level of perfection you expect when you first pick up your Mustang (or any mass production car). Some of the things that people like those on this site see, would go unnoticed by most car buyers. I was just curious as to what you guys and girls have found (good and bad) and...
