    Unwanted stripes on Convertible top.

    On mine the back is over support. Front is close but not exactly. Middle is in between the steel runners unless it is some type of fabric support added to the top but not steel reinforced. :shrug: My saleman said bring it in and let the service guys look it over but want to try and solve...

    Unwanted stripes on Convertible top.

    Ever ask the dealership to see what they say? If it is one yours and mine then I guess all tops would have it. Yours still there or did they fade away?

    Unwanted stripes on Convertible top.

    On the passenger side if I had the front up then the back it would make a pop noise like the windows were out of line and poped in place. Worried me so did it in the back then front order and it has never done it again. I would hate to break one of those windows if out of line.

    Unwanted stripes on Convertible top.

    It is the standard vinyl. I don't think I was able to get the cloth with the CS. When I first built it shadowed that out on the Ford site so I didn't even ask for it.

    Unwanted stripes on Convertible top.

    I noticed these after I got it home. There are three stripes on the top. The third one is on the ridge support behind the other two so it is not seen in this picture. I thought it was residue from maybe some shipping tape or somthing but I have washed it twice and they are not coming off at...

    Ford Dealers and aftermarket parts

    After asking directly to the horses mouth about Ford racing parts. Mainly the FRRP but result might include all Ford racing parts within reason. Robert: Currently, the Ford Racing Power Pack does void the warranty. That said, we have tested and validated the pack for durability, and...

    close vert latches when putting top down?

    Well I am a vert virgin so I have not been closing the latch when I release. I have not noticed any problem yet and the salesman did not mention it either but they don't always know more than a brick wall unless it is written in front of them. I would be interested in other vert owners to see...

    Best cold air intake system

    Well there are several here that might disagree. Several systems out ther ethat easily put out more the 20 ponies. Depending on what you want to pay for hp put most average I would guess between $10-$20 for each extra hp you get. From what I have read you can not get the same hp/cost range...

    Possible Ford/GM merger!?

    Now that would be interesting to see how they would do that and what cars that would affect. The days of the Mustang/Camaro wars would definitly be over unless they still build both or just leave it as is since the true winner is currently already in production. :D

    My first simple mod other than taking off dealer tag...

    Yes, I have to admitt it kills me and wondered if someone would say something. I told myself that it was a sunny day car, but yesterday I wanted to show it off to my brothers and parents and got caught in the rain. And this morning the rain was supposed to have stopped late last night but got...

    My first simple mod other than taking off dealer tag...

    I saw this on Tacobill's car video a month or so back and liked it. Although, I did not want to explain to my 5yr old daughter not to go around saying "BADASS GT" like on his. :) So I made it simple. What you think? (not the best photgragher but hope you can see it okay) May try one...

    Is the Stock air intake silencer still on 07's anymore?

    well gives me something to think about. As a mechanical designer I love a good challenge. May not make it into reality but worth the thinking. I just noticed how hot it was under the hood in the garage after the drive and knew that could not be to good since the air intake still probalby gets...

    Is the Stock air intake silencer still on 07's anymore?

    I went and looked on mine and it looks like it just extends the air inlet a little. It does not seem to change the size much so don't think it would help much. I was wondering about if on the CS (not sure there would be room on the others since the CS is supposed to have 1.5 inches more) it...

    My GT/CS finally arrives....

    Thanks for the compliments of all so far. As far as I know the only way to get the two tone at this time is the CS or the GT500. (why not really go for it? :nice: ) One thing that the website did not show (unless it is now fixed) and found this out when quoting was that to get the CS...

    Is the Stock air intake silencer still on 07's anymore?

    I rememered in the head to head CAI test that 5.0 magazine did they took out this item and it gained like 6 hp. Is this the item that you are referring to? If so then I guess only thing I can do is wait until I am able to get my new CAI/tuner in. Figured I would be able to tinker with...

    "Acrylic-Werks" polish

    Well used the polish today and it was not any easier to do than any other polish/wax. I had to go back to the dealer and asked the guy I bought it from about it. He said that on new paint there is no need to rub it hard. Just criss cross it to get the polish in the paint. Polish with cloths...

    My GT/CS finally arrives....

    Well I had a guy run a stop sign at a hwy intersection and I had no time to react. Impact was at hwy speed (60 mph). There was no skid marks. He was driving a 3/4 ton 80's models chevy with a custom steel flat bed on it. My car ended on the left. He on the right and the custom made bed...

    Is the Stock air intake silencer still on 07's anymore?

    Since it might be until christmas before I get a CAI/tuner kit I was looking to take out the silencer that is I though below the filter in the box. I took out the filter and all that was there is a square hole. There is nothing to take out. Is this where the silencer is supposed to be? And...

    18" polished stock rims... Are the clear coated?

    I was reading the manual and it stated something about the aluminum wheels being clear coated. The polished 18's I could sware don't appear to have a coting but before I try to shine them up with something like "Mother's" I wanted to ask. Because if they are, that would be a big mistake.
