    retro grill

    The Pony package grille should pretty much snap into place in lieu of the stock grille. The biggest challenge you'll have is wiring it. Ford does not provide an easy way to retrofit the electrical connections for the fogs into the V-6. Aftermarket will likely be the best way to go!!

    What happened to MSP?

    One of the challenges with public forums such as this is that most people don't remember that they're truly NOT public. This forum is owned by someone who foots the bills, provides the resources to make the forum available and user friendly, and makes up the rules. Bottom line is that its...

    They may say FORD on them but most dealer service departments treat them like any other aftermarket part.

    MRT Cold air intake

    Yesterday I finally received a package that I've been impatiently waiting on for weeks... Say hello to my new Mustang Racing Technologies (Street Smart Design) Cold Air Intake. After a long wait MRT finally released the V-6 model of their intake. It took me the better part of an hour to...

    is this dealer jerking me around?

    Sorry to hear that you're having issues with the Ford dealers up there in Maine. Unfortunately what you're experiencing is not uncommon with some dealers. Remember that though it says Ford on the sign they're not owned by Ford and don't always seem as concerned that they're putting the Ford...

    V6 vs GT

    The differences between the V6 and GT can be summed up pretty easily: engine, fogs, brakes, sway bars. Beyond these types of things the cars are pretty much identical. That being said I think Alec makes a good point. Get a beater to learn how to drive a manual. Find yourself a good...

    Post painted caliper pics please!

    I would imagine that some cracking and flaking of the paint is normal. I put four coats of paint on mine and haven't yet found any chips. I imagine I will fine them in time.

    05/06 Mustang GT kills 3 people in Detroit

    Here's a short article about the crash in the Detroit Free Press. The article definitely indicates that the Mustang had been stolen: http://www.freep.com/news/latestnews/pm6574_20051010.htm

    Post painted caliper pics please!

    Dupli-color brake paint kit sells for $14 at Wal-Mart. I'd recommend stopping in the Craft department and picking up some different paint brushes however. The brush that comes in the kit is pretty bad.

    Aux Input Converter FINALLY released

    My understanding is that the Ford part is compatible with the 06 models only. A good friend who works in the parts department of a local Ford dealership told me this and that they don't expect them to be released until November at the earliest.

    Ford racing CAI for V6

    The part in question is believed to be manufactured for Ford Racing by S&B. Since Ford Racing didn't display a picture of the CAI and nobody, including Ford Racing, seems to know when its gonna be released, nobody really knows for sure.

    Ford racing CAI for V6

    No dice on this part... last I heard its in limbo somewhere. Rumor has it, on the other hand, that S&B is making the part for Ford and their V-6 CAI is released. Go figure! :bang:

    Carpet Trunk Liner Install

    A while back I got to looking at some carpet trunk lid liners. I liked the idea but wasn't thrilled at some of the designs I saw or the pricing. I e-mailed one of the sellers and asked if they'd consider designing a one-off liner for me and inquired about the price. The seller, Joe at...

    New C&L Air Intake System now available!!!

    What seems odd is that there's still no mention of it on C&L's web site. :shrug: I assume this means they're still in the late atages of developing it. C&L Performance website
