    Steeda Charge Motion control plate's question

    I have to agree! Ford engineers put in a lot of time, effort, and research into these things.... I believe they perform an important function. Especially for improving low end tourqe. Deleting these would give you "some" gains at the top end WOT. But are they worth it?

    Racing stripes

    Christmas is nice... but perhaps your right... red would be a bit much. Im not a big fan of red anyway. Still... can you imagine the looks???? :p

    Racing stripes

    Black stripes are too common. Go with red ones and make a statement. Go with reflective red ones and really stand out! Width is important too.... 10" or better. (no comments please) The factory 8" option look too skinny IMO.

    Racing stripes

    I purchased one of the first sets of 12" wide stripes from Bob White. The 3M material and cut were great. Price... eh. What I did not like was that the stripe kit did not go completley down the bumpers.... just the tops. (which I opted not to install) :( I had a professional...

    3dCarbon Window Louvers

    Once my 3D Carbon louvers arrive, I intend to see if the decal area can be cut to make the proper louver opening. Let the light shine in! I'm impressed with the style, and fit around the window seam of the 3D louvers.

    3dCarbon Window Louvers

    Despite the non-functioning design..... my 3D Carbon louvers should ship this Friday. IMO these looked the best. NOT that there is anything wrong with the other choices. (got to be PC around here) I have done some plastic modification work in the past, and perhaps these louvers can be...

    Synthetic oil

    MANY new cars come from the factory with synthetic oil. Change it when you want or need. I'm running AMSOIL, and have since 3K miles. After extensive research I'm convinced the once per year oil change is for me. Happy motoring!

    3dCarbon Window Louvers

    Anyone got the website for "Street Scenes" louvers? I'm not too thrilled with the idea of 3D Carbons non-functioning louvers. :notnice: Not that I actually look out those tiny side windows.... but?

    87 or 93 Octane

    From what I've been told, the car is in a constant state of tuning itself. If you use a higher octane gas, 89 or 93 the car will gradually bump the ignition timing up a bit. Especially if you have your foot in it most of the time. :D Not a problem, until you go back to 87... then let the...

    GT Oil Filter Question

    I'm running AMSOIL in my stang. After all the comapany & independent stuff I've read, I'm convince the stuff is good. :nice: I even attempted to install the secondary by-pass filtration system, but could not find space under the hood for it. Which is too bad, as it really keeps the oil...

    Steeda cold air vs MMR Annihilator Intake Kit

    I spoke with Steeda... they say that ALL of the high flow intake kits, less the K&N drop in filter will require a flash tune. However, I contacted C&L and thier cold intake kit will NOT require a flash tune, as the kit comes with a calibrated mass air housing that compensates for the...

    Steeda cold air vs MMR Annihilator Intake Kit

    Hey guys...... I saw Steeda posted their Cold air kit for the 2005 Mustang GT today!!! However, the product description states that a new flash tune is MANDITORY. If I understand this correctly, you need to purchase the $260 cold air kit, then the $375 tuner, install them both, then pay...

    Gas tank won't take gas, CD player won't play CD's...etc...

    I have the shaker 500 stereo in my 05 GT. It has skipped more than a few times... for no apparent reason. Loading CD's is also a chore. My next step is to start making my own Cd's in MP3 format.... I can only imagine things getting worse. As for gas... I'm only on my 3rd tank... and last...

    Shelby Stripes?

    I have a satin silver 05 GT and just had the stripes put on. I went with white 12" wide, spaced so the edge of the stripe lines up with the edge of the fog lamp. So far I've gotten good reviews... with only one person telling me I should have gone with blue stripes. (from a 60's version he...

    quarter window louvers

    3DCarbon is now accepting pre-orders for there louvers and at a reasonable price. I believe they look a little nicer than the ones you have posted... not a sharp edged. Take your pick. The rear louvers are so 80's.

    Magnaflow axle backs

    I just installed a set of Flowmaster Super 40's on my 05 GT. All for $200 installed using the factory exhaust tips. They sound pretty good. However with light throttle at cruise speed there is a drone. At idle they are a little louder than stock. At WOT THEY SCREAM!!!! I do not...

    So...what are folks paying for the GTs?

    Ordered my GT on October 25th. Got a build date of Nov 29th after IUP delay. Delivered on Dec 8th. Most internet dealers were offering $1000 less than MSRP of 26305.00 Paid 24450 +TT&L under the X plan... but had negotiated THAT price before signing up for the plan! Things are getting...

    more X-plan questions

    I attempted to use the Ford direct website to build and price my Stang for the X-plan. But with no dealer inventory it will not give me the price. I did find that the invoice for my car was a bit higher than found on Cars.com. I even attempted the Ford graduate program build... no X-plan...
