Rustoleum lens tint(couldn't find VHT). Rubbing compound. Wax. 1000 and 2000 grit sandpaper. Lots of elbow grease. Clear coat. Trial and error.

Ok, thanks! Don't think I'll be doing anything anytime soon. Might look into it more during the summer.

I guess, but he lives in S. Mpls, and used to work near University Ave. in St. Paul.
But yeah it's just luck, because I been pulled over in my DD a couple times, but never in the mustang, and I always drive above the speed limit.

Wow, how much was it for the new key?

Haven't got a new key yet. My mechanic can't do keys but he was able to make it work. So keys are on my list tomorrow.

Went to the dealership.

First time I've actually been in a ford dealership. It's freaking awesome.

Not sure. All I really saw was a row of 13s rear ends.

Picking up a truck tomorrow to finally retire the cobra.

Was mainly inside. I wouldn't mind living there.

Anyone else find themselves looking at car parts when they probably shouldn't be?
