Thanks Burton and I got it based on you and another detailer friend highly recommending claying the cars before doing anything to them.
I got back on autogeek.net and saw the kit, called up to order it, the lady wanted me to pay shipping ... I didn't pay shipping, not after having spent almost $400 with them 2 days before, lol

Oh that makes more sense. Yeah I would save up for the new one

Yep... Always wash then clay first before doing any paint correction. Without claying, your surface would be like sandpaper...can't really get to the real paint surface to remove defects (swirls) until you get rid of the surface contaminants.

Paul, why the change? tbh, I like them both. I think the only thing I hear bad about flowmasters is they drone. The pypes are good?

Thanks matey.

I've always liked the Flowmasters and never felt any real drone whilst cruising. BUT, having driven a friend's '07 with Pypes, I felt they were just that bit more aggressive, which is what I want in a sunny day toy

Just got done fully detailing the girlfriend's Shelby.
She is in love with the car all over again, lol.
Amazing how off-white that white got when dirt was embedded in the paint.
This took almost 4 hours and my back is killing me, but I'm psyched with the results.
Like she said, need sunglasses now to look at it, lol

The back end of the 07-09 Shelbys is, to me, the best looking stock rear end on a Mustang since '69. When you see it half a mile away, you know what it is. It looks and feels like it's clearly a cut above every other car on the road with it. My '13 backside doesn't have that same 'grab' to it that this one does. My neighbor down the street has a white '07 Shelby with the GB stripes, and on the rare occasions that I see him while he's driving it, I always follow a bit and admire how perfect that car looks.

Yup, I love the back end look of her car, whenever we go somewhere in both cars I always follow, so I can stare at that a$$ all the way there (plus the guy in me likes to keep an eye on his woman, lol)

These days, with the back-end lowered, fitted with the 305 tires perfectly centered, riding on Konis, checking out the back of the car as it drives over bumps or in turns, it's cool to see how controlled it is, plus sitting low and wide it looks awesome
