Thanks for the link to the pics, it help trying to figure out what it'd be like. Still would like to see a shot of the rear profile of the car.

I wish... some of us have to actually work...
I was just told yesterday I have to have my mac up and running on our flavor of VPN to connect to our network by Friday. There is a new on-call policy going into effect Monday and I'm the guinea pig. No time to get on the 'net and space for a few today. The upside is that at the end of the week I'll get $$380 for being on call for a week....

Leo, spacers are for ricers....... real Mustangs have big, wide tires atleast 9" wide.


I just removed my factory motor mounts...... Prothane mounts are do in tomorrow. Also yesterday I installed the Web Electric one-touch turns, sequential tails, and 3rd brakelight pulser- all way cool stuff.

That $380 will pay for 1/2 of the Avic D3.

I like the sequential tails, I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on those as well Tom. They seem like an easy install?

I bought the splice-in kit since I have an electrical background....... very, very easy. Took about an hour total to do both rears, that includes removing the trunk panel, install, testing the system, etc. The instructions that come with the kit are top notch and very easy to follow.

Here's some pics Buzzystang05 sent me. You can see the difference with spacers real well in these pics.









Sounds like everyone got some mods for X-Mas.

HIDs would be nice....... I've thought about those but I seldom drive at night so I figure I really don't need them. But then again with that logic, I also don't need motor mounts, the Vortech, etc. etc. etc. LOL!

My GT is a daily driver and I drive to work every morning at 5:15AM so its dark out and I really need good light (dear, armadillos, possums, raccoons, skunks and big a$$ snakes) for the roads I drive on. Lots of creatures always crossing the road

Whats a Vortech Tom..........................

+1 on the Avic-D3 I've had mine installed since mid August and love it. Always get compliments on how good it looks in the car. And its iPod integration is second to none.

Where's a good place to buy some turn signal tint?

I got mine from bluebatmobile.com. He's local in San Diego that does this out of his house. Looks like the sight is down right now though..


Just type bluebatmobile into google. You'll see he's an almost ever car forum.

Glad you found it there! I looked at my AZ and couldn't find it. Maybe they were sold out.

I might feel dumb when you tell me... but what is AW?
