Once he sells the house... price won't matter

Just picked up the spoiler Looks great. I only opened a corner of it and the match seems on the dot. I'm gonna open all of it now and inspect further. I need the Taco Qc though

It sounds like it's pre-painted? If so, I'm guessing you went aftermarket.. which means it's the one that picks up 2 of the 4 spoiler attachment holes and have to drill 2 holes on the outer edge of the spoiler?

If I ever go this route in the future, I'll probably go S-Fly OEM. Reason is that it has an inner metal frame plus will pick up all 4 trunk lid holes.

Can't wait to see the new spoiler Luis.

Just got back from Autozone. The rubber part of one of my wiper blades was coming off. So I went ahead just bought a new set. Dam things cost me $20 a piece. Ouch! Then again I bought the priciest one's I could find.

Other stang news.....
Sold my stock mirrors ($60) then turned around and used that money towards a set of used camcovers ($55) off some dude on S197 forums. I'll be taking them in for powdercoating next week. Still undecided if to go with black krinkle or chrome.

Luis-You can borrow my spare set to powdercoat your covers.

Off to see Strangers....

What rubber part? The blade itself? First sign of our cars aging..

Yah. I went knock off Reasoning behind it: It was the cheaper route just in case I didn't like it. Better spending 120 then 400 and finding out that I'm unhappy with it. Paint is spot on. Tom's had zero problems. I would have gone OEM had I been 100% sure on my decision

I'm interested Let me know how much it costs to powder coat them. Chicane sports has a little deal of $200 for the covers plus install but if it's cheaper for me to powder coat then I'll go that route. At least I'll know it's getting installed right (under the eyes of Taco ). Go for the bling I'm going black crinkle.

My guess: He's getting shr louvers

Hold on young S-Fly. Before you get a boner, Leo's camcovers may not fit. 05-06 has a different camcover bolt pattern than the 07-08. The new ones have less number of fasterners.

Better check it out before spending $$ to p/c them.

Just wanted to ask if any one in SOCAL has heard of K2MOTOR based in Cal. I've been waiting on some TEIN springs for 3 weeks.

Thanks again for the heads up. No rush either way. I'm not doing engine mods just yet. Want to finish up my suspension first.

Haven't heard of them. Hope they get you your spings quick; I can feel your pain, I know all about delays.

I didn't think any body would hear of them but I thought I'd ask. Getting itchy on the springs. Can't wait for that 1.5 drop.

My bad superfly. I'll catch on someday.

I've heard of Tein springs, but don't personally know of anyone running them.

The drop looks similiar to the FRPP and Eibach Pros. Should have a nice stance once you get them installed.

He's just teasing me

Besides, we all know who the master of a perfect mustang is Bill

Tein; Same as Bill. I've heard of them but never seen it personally. Hope you get them soon. I'm sure the 1.5 in drop will look killer

You're wrong Luis.. the perfect Mustang is the one that's on the road and galloping!


Which is not me.
