Merry Christmas my Friends

Great - thanks - does that apply to the current Mustang?
I have a Ford tailgate release switch that I am going to use. Inside the console there is a small access panel (cover) that covers the emergency brake adjustment. I was going to mount the switch to that small cover. It will have a factory look to it.
I need to add one to my car and the Escort I'm driving for the winter, just need time to do it. The Escort's remote doesn't work well when going through security at work, need to hold the remote out the window. I'm better off just handing the security guy the key. At least with the '05+ the trunk button works with the car running.
I did it to my 07 GT. Used a SOS cup switch cover.

Some questions for you pros.
I took off my Throttle Body to clean and possibly paint it. If your have ever saw the oping on a Saleen SC the throat has a down-ward slant. It have some oil in the low spot. I do have a oil separtator on the pvc valve. The hose seems to be dry and there was not much oil in the oil separtaors bowl. I did use a cheap oil/air separtator that is used for a air compressor. But I'm sure that is where the oil is coming from.
Christmas presents were 2 Mustang shirts, a bottle of Mustang colone, a RC Mustang, A Ford Key chain, and some other junk.
I made out pretty good this year. OK the Holidays are over, winter can quit at anytime.

you got a leak in that junk Saleen blower.

I'm pretty sure the wire is a pink/white wire in the SJB in the passengers kick panel. Search the forum on trunk release button to be sure. It is very easy to this, get a 2 pole momentary button switch radio shack, ground 1 side and splice the other to ethe white/pink wire. Mine was hard to find in the panel, but it is there. Hope this helps.

Guess I should have read farther before I replied.

Hey Tom...I've been meaning to ask this for a while....What makes your car look like it is "rearing up" in the front?...I cant tell if it is just the angle of your pics, but they all seem to show your front end much higher than the rear....kinda like its under hard accelleration even though it is standing still....I compare the space between the tire and fender in the rear and the front..

Cody- I run Steeda Sport springs in the rear, but only the stock Ford springs up front. I like the look this way.... I think lowering the front makes some Mustangs look kinda odd.
The angle of the pix are kinda designed to bring out a more aggressive stance; from the side, the difference isn't as noticeable:

Thanks,
Tom
