Sure, anything related to the aftermarket lights and nothing else.

It really depends on your dealer. I've never been hassled for warranty issues, but I've heard plenty of stealership stories where they attribute completely unrelated issues to dumb things like LED map lights.

Replaced all four of my factory base model speakers with Mirus stage 1 speakers:

And installed a reusable (non-oiled) K&N VF2020 cabin filter:

Thnks Nic,

I guess the best way around this is to go speak to them before i place the lights.

Peace!

I let a colleague drive my car in our office parking a few days back...in 2 minutes, he took a bad turn and managed to scrape the side skirt (underneath so its not visible untill you get on ur knees and look for it) along a curb....

My 400.00 tire I got for 237.00 got a dry wall nail , so I'll go remove it & put a plug in. It's odd that any instruction says remove object rasp the holy thread & goo the plug but not a **** thing about delaying tire first 😳

As that fixable? Very close to the sidewall.

Few shops around here would fix it, but then again they would rather just sell another tire.

Plugged / patched right it might hold. I did one close to that spot area on my last set of tires, and never had another issue with it.

No, it's not safe to repair the tire in that spot, especially with a regular plug.
That tire is junk, should be replaced, and any shop that plugs it there should have their license revoked.

You stuck a plug into the area of the tire where the steel belts meet the thinnest part of the tire, the sidewall.
You might as well have plugged the sidewall.
In a high-performance car like a V8 Mustang, you're now gonna drive around with a ticking timebomb wrapped around that wheel.

I hope you're around nobody I know when that tire goes.

today?

I am replacing my 20" wheels with 18" solid black deep dish bullitts and new INVOs

The roads around here are too mean for 20"ers.

Lesson learned. Excited about the new look. I will post pictures once they are mounted up.

Kudos to AMAlexLazarus for his great support.
