well at least im going to have 70* tomorrow, hoping it doesn't reain so I can pull the mustang back out and drive around with the windows down!

 

Yesterday afternoon: replaced the cabin air filter for the first time, at 21,240 miles and 33 months since new. New filter element set me back $19, installation took four minutes.

 

That's so cool.

 

50 degrees today and sunny, so I fired up the green machine. Felt and sounded awesome.
Couldn't take her out as the roads are all wet from the melting snow.

 

Think I'm going to drive it.

 

Vacuumed it, cleaned it, waxed the hood and roof with Americana wax, totally ignored the wheels since they're only on for a few more hours - they're coming off tomorrow once I get the car to the World Of Wheels show venue.

 

Installed a sequential turnsignal kit on the '06 GT today. Getting to the right side brake / turn signal fixture is a pain due to the Shaker 1000 subs and amps.

 

Gabe, nice work… nothing like a clean pony!

 

Finally got around to getting this done. Could've done it myself, but I don't like messing around too much with electrical stuff. I took it to my buddy at the electrical install shop, same place that wired my boost gauge. They're the only folks I trust with my car. Got it done in a couple hours (less).

I wanted the cleaner look of just the halos, without the amber distraction. Best part is that it's totally independent, so I can run it on its own, OR with the parking lights (as I had it before), OR parking lights alone…whichever I prefer. It's also tied into ignition, so that I can leave the switch on always, and it shuts off upon me exiting/shutting off the car.

I had him mount the toggle in a discreet location by the hood lever. It's a solid switch that requires some muscle to trigger…to avoid accidental tripping.

The biggest benefits of having my shop do it: soldered connections instead of t taps, professional looking wire looms and routing, plus cutting the panel to install the switch. That would have taken me a whole afternoon if not more, plus it would have not looked that good. LOL…

Anyways, pics below. I love the new look. It's how it should have been from DAY ONE. Shame on me

 

That is really cool the way you have it set up.

 

Thanks Burton, and you're so right, she's been dirty for months, looks so good now ... I only pray that the roads will be dry in the morning ... we got a few showers tonight, roads are all wet now ...

Fogs/Halos look awesome, by the way!

 

Thanks mark!!!

Good luck with the drive Gabe! Mine will stay tucked rest of week and weekend. 40s, then rain Sunday . Next week is 60s.

 

Looks good bud.
Clean and neat.

 

Thanks Burton, made it down unscathed, got it cleaned up, New wheels/tires/lugnuts/center caps installed, just sitting now waiting for the show tomorrow:

 

Wheels and tires look good with those center caps! I had been considering the 20x10 versions of my wheels for the back too. Might have to revisit that. I like the 19/20 staggered.

 

Thanks Patrick ... I wanted more sidewall up front and a slightly taller tire so the 275-40-19 was it for me ...

Couple more pics from today:

 

^hot gabe... hot.

 

well I got my shift handle installed and I love it!

 

Gabe your car is looking Awesome! Wheels and all.

 

Thanks guys!
I so didn't wanna leave it there ... can't wait to get back to it tomorrow ...

During cleaning it I found out 2 things I didn't like: there is a small chip on the right front wheel, I'm pretty sure I did it loading it into the trunk before I left the house, and the upper billet grille will need replacement soon ... the upper screws are rusted and they're coming out of the plastic surround they're screwed into ... cheap American Muscle part, gonna see if they'll replace it for free ... especially as the black powdercoat keeps graying out over time requiring me to use metal polish on it to bring the black back.

But for now, the grille still looks good on there and I'll use something to touch up the wheel nick ... show must go on! Lol ...
