Have had my Gt just a few days now and notice something strange. After about every 50 miles of driving, there is a fairly good amount of what appears to be brake dust on the body of the car behind the wheels, both sides, especially the rear wheels. It wipes off easily, and it doesn't seem to be road dirt. Anyone else having this problem?

It's because the body is "rolled back" under the rear wheels allowing dust & dirt to collect there .There are 2 things you can do .

1: Go to ceramic brake pads ,there about 100 dollars Canadian for a set (you would need 2) .My freind drives with them year round and can take the extreme cold plus being ceramic no black brake dust ,just regular road film so it keeps the rims and car easyer to clean.

2: Optional molded in color mustang mud flaps from the dealers book for the 05,this will help protect the lower body in the "rolled back under area" from all road debris (stones sand etc.) B)

What do the flaps look like? Decent or cheap looking?
