People are stupid. I wouldn't pay more than $40 for those things. Plus IMO they don't even look that great. I prefer the old school PBR badges on the 429 cobras.

The only difference? The tires...

And #2 is the main reason!
I agree, type of tire makes all the difference.

Nope, I was trying to push the black anodized one.
Feel free to thumb through 600 pages to find it (or take my word).

Yeah... I wish.

I'd probably just get the BMR since I already have one of their products. Gotta keep things matching ya know!

Mine look like they have plenty of wear in them so for now, as money is tight, they will have to stay.

Nice pics Jed!

Yeah, its starting to cool down a bit in SoCal. Besides, it gives us a chance to show off out spiffy Mustang jackets!

Sorry you missed it Brian, but your pic was shown on the big screen in one of the slideshows!

No jackets needed in Texas yet, its cooled down but the lows have gotten to maybe 68 at night, which is wonderful no jacket weather. During the days mid to upper 80's now which is niceeeeee

Almost forgot my little drive home from the cruise-in story...

As I was rollin' down the boulevard going home, what do I see in my rearview mirror? You guessed it..

I rolled down the windows (so I don't get popped for tinted windows) and start baby shifting the car to keep the dB's to a minimum. He follows for for a couple blocks (him seeing my 'BADA$$ GT 3rd brakelight didn't help things ) and coming up to a red light, he pulls up to me on the driver's side and rolls his passenger window down half way. I thought that was it, the Taco was going to get pulled over!

To my amazement, he said or did nothing and pulled away!

Then just as soon as I thought I was in the clear, there was another cop 1 car back! Sooo, I babied it all the way home.

Sometimes, driving a spiffy Mustang can be stressful.

Nice story Bill, your day is coming pal!

Taco"spiff"Bill

You're spiffy alright among other things

I hope you have your "spiffy" car cover on the DQ keeping it dust free now that you taken it out for it's weekly drive. You want to make sure it's all "Spiff'd" up for its next weekly cruise.

Problems with A-arm install

1) Didn't have a 21mm deep socket

2) For some f'ed up reason the bolts on my a-arms are reversed. So the nuts are facing up towards the car instead of at the ground. Not sure if even once I get a 21mm deep socket I'll have enough room to turn the wrench.


3) Need to get some loctite.


See what happens when you don't do a mod at Bill and Kevin's. It's nice to have the necessary tools.

So with that said I was so PO'd I didn't even attempt the LCA relo bracket install.

For reference the bolts on the a-arms are supposed to be like you see in the pic mine are upside down.
