Wow! Your car is very clean. What did you paint the rear axle with?

You can't go wrong for under $100!

One of these days your car is going to have a piece of dirt on it. Don't freak out, just be prepared. Sorry to cause you to hyperventilate, it's ok man.

When people tell me my car looks so clean after I spend a weekend detailing it, I laugh at them and say "you should see this red Mustang that some guy on the Interweb has". Just sayin', you're kind of a big deal around here.

Jeff, are you sure you wanted to show your new LCA's or how clean your car is! the new LCA's look good, I assume these are the ones that come standard on the GT500!

I think yours might be cleaner, since you have so much less miles than me ...

If I remember reading correctly, the GT500 owners have the wonderful wheel hop we have, so what's to be gained by installing these?

Thats kind of weird that they look identical to stock. do they have poly bushings that make them any better than stock?
