Honestly I'm not sure how smoked lights would look on my car. The paint, stripes, wheels, etc. are so bright as it is, I'd be worried it wouldn't look right. If anything, I would only do a very light coat on the headlights I have now. But I like it the way it is...for now.

what did you do with the mass airflow sensor? (can you run proper air/fuel mixture...without?) are you getting checkengine code if without?

Ya, but you get the extra 15hp.

Thanks. It's in pretty good condition, but it still needs work. Hopefully someday I can get it exactly the way I want.

That's awesome! I've been to plenty of twins games. I like their new stadium, but I'll still miss the metrodome. You must have some scorchers for winters in vancouver cause it's supposed to be 93 here tomorrow. lol I gotta put mine away for the winter in a few months as well. I'm really not looking forward to it though cause I just got her out of storage last week. I can't believe it's almost august!

I haven't started it in almost three years. Need to replace the old fuel and see if it'll start. Really want a 5.0 though.

BRO!

Someone needs to report you to Mustang Social Services! That's called NEGLECT son!

I'll admit, I never got my car out of storage last summer either, but I was literally unable to keep it at my residence do to location. Plus I have two small children who need to ride in car seats. Its not very often I'm even in a situation where I'm by myself where it's even a possibility to drive it, then take it back to where I'm storing it.

Dude. Today. Check the fluids, put a battery charger on it, and start it up.

I'm gonna try sometime this summer. I've never siphoned gas before. I don't really know if it even matters since I don't plan on keeping the engine anyways.

Just shove a small hose down the filler tube and suck until it starts coming out then put that end of the hose into your receptacle. Make sure you have some water to wash your mouth out right away.

I think they make pumps for it now, so you don't have to do it the old fashioned way.
