Yup, you can now Factory order the Full Car cover (at least on the website) with your new car. I'd be interested to see what it looks like and how many layers it has but that car cover is very temping.

I understand why they don't want to do remote start for manual. If you leave it in gear and hit the button they don't want to be liable. I know a few shops that are on the fence about installing it. They actually make people with manuals sign a waiver saying they aren't responsible for any damages to the drivetrain or car if you leave it in gear and use the remote start feature.

I want the module that makes my Shaker 500 have Sirrius. Does Ford sell that? So that I can use the stock head units control.

That would be a nice feature to have but as you say not on a manual. I remember a year back somebody had it on a stang and it was in the shop being worked on and when he went to pick it up they had already wrecked his car.

No, it does not state any prices.

If anyone needs a Ford Mustang accessories Smokers Cup (aka; ashtray) and Cig-Lighter like me know.
Somehow I ended up with one [brand new too]

 

[The Fang]

I asked them today and he said $328 for the shelby spoiler.


As for the Side Window Deflectors they are $91. Way to pricey imo. guess I will have to drop that from my xmas list.

 

[french2812]

Does the Shelby spoiler come painted or primed?

 

[like a G]

I just got the Shelby spoiler in today. $328. only comes primed. Can't wait to get it painted and put it on.

 

[bigcat]

from my experiences, i would guess that it would only be primed, not painted.

I have the molded rear splash guards and they're damn nice. Just be sure to buy four 10x1 stainless steel washers from a local hardware store ($1.97 at Lowe's) so your rear bumper fender screws have more support on the guards.

The flat splash guards/mud flaps are the only ones available for the front. I'm working on figure out how to attach them so they are functional, look good, and won't fly off or flap against the steel fender well and take off the paint.

BTW

Why is the cargo net $44-$50 when the cargo net for the Crown Vic is only $20??
Has anyone used a generic cargo net from Wal-Mart or AutoZone for their Stang?

Must be using old school remote start modules, because the newer technology from viper, clifford, alpine, and numerous oem manufacturers diasable the clutch interlock switch and lock it out from release until the car is removed from gear. I had a remote start on my S2000, my wifes Jeep, and my supra currently with no issues whatsoever. All had manual transmissions and could be started while in gear. The remote start in the jeep was oem and the Supra was a new unit used as oem in the 04 and up toyota line, made to work in the Supra.

Cost is an issue, because you add about 200 to 250 to all installs with the added parts and labor required. These remote start/alarm systems are expensive enough as is.

Only downfall is, if you forget to set the parking brake while parked on an incline, the car goes to a neutral state when the remote start is engaged. The car would then roll freely. Never happened to me or the wife, but I could see someone forgetting especially after a long hot summer where they may get used to parking and only leaving the car in gear with no brake engaged.

Sorry for the long post, just didn't want anyone getting a false sense thinking it was impossible cause it's not.

Yea I have the molded ones and they are nice-nicer than the flat splash gaurds which are crap imo. The stealership riped me they ordered the flat ones when I ordered them and would not exchange them for the molded ones. So I refused to let them order anything for me again. went across town and ordered them 20 bucks cheaper.
Yip used extra screws too

Side Window Deflectors Ford cost $91

they are back on my xmas list, had my wife order them from discount autoparts $35

I had an aftermarket remote start on my Integra GS-R 5 speed that worked great. The model I had wasn't as sophisticated as the ones mentioned above. This one had a sequence that had to be followed in order to "arm" the system and prevent mishaps. Leave the engine running in neutral, set parking brake, press button on the remote (lights blink to acknowledge) , remove key from ignition (engine stays running), exit car, use remote to lock doors. The doors would lock then the engine would shut off by itself and the remote start would be armed and ready to use. The whole process took some forethought and a couple extra seconds but it always ensured the car was in neutral with the parking brake set before it would work...with the added bonus that anyone unfamiliar with the car (mechanics, girlfriends) was prevented from using the remote starter altogether.

They may seem useless to some but after using one through a couple of Canadian winters I think remote starters are simply excellent.

Point taken. It's absolutely possible, just more risky in a manual
