This sticky has got to be one of the best Mustang resources on the web! Thanks for all your hard work TacoBill!
I do have a possible revision to the webelectrics sequential tail light install instructions. You mentioned throwing away the rubber material (grommits?) from the 6 bolts (3 on each side) that attach the lens assembly to the body. This material is used to prevent water leakage into the trunk. When I installed my sequentials, I used plummers putty on the re-install since the rubber material is basically useless after you remove the lens assembly. This is an important step for those of us up in rain country (WA).

Bill,
First thank you for all your contributions... Your write-ups are some of best on web...I'm a recent convert from Jeep'n... and have never seen anything that compares to your write-ups.
I just used your write-up to install my Steeda Ultralites tonight... have a suggestion to add to write-up... would have saved me a little time on install... when putting struts back in car... although four bolt pattern on plate looks like a square... it appears to only go back in one way... arrow on plate must face a certain way... at least I couldn't get in place until took strut back out and turned plate so that arrow faced toward the side of car.
Also note for '07 Convertibles -- there is significant bracing under the car... and removing rear springs proved a little harder... rear axle won't drop enough (hits bracing) so had to use spring compressor to get them out (guess option would have been to temporarily remove bracing)
Thanks again on your write-ups... now I have to go back to your Hot links to figure out what my next mod will be.

Bill - thanks for the exhaust sticky - without it I'd have been running crooked 4"tips back there! With it, I installed my Pypes Violators in my garage in about 45 minutes - SMOOTH and Easy and they sound GREAT by the way!

I think that someone should Snap up Bill and Bank Roll him on a How To Book . Really he takes all that scary hard chit outta there and makes it so easy that my son want to do stuff so I supervise and let him, again Thank-You Bill.

Thanks Bill. The most important tool for all my mods was my laptop on your hotlinks guiding me the whole time. You helped take a home builder and one time carpenter and turned me into something of a novice gearhead who can do more than change his oil.

I'll be taking photos as I do my install, and I'll be glad to do a how-to thread. My bumpers are here, just need to be painted.
