My first round of engine detailing since Ratageddon. I noticed that the strut brace has little scratches from my little friends. I'm hoping I can buff them out. If you look closely you can see where the little buggers were chewing up my firewall insulation.
I'm still deciding if I should replace it. It's minor and most people would say I'm crazy since its in the engine bay but I don't care. It bugs me.
I sprayed the engine with a Stop the Rodent spray. Does a good job and it it works it'll be something I continue to use.

Good luck with the strut tower brace, hopefully the little scratches will come out!

One of my options but a dumb question coming up. Will Ford give me a hard time on a warranty issue if I pull the insulation out?
Thanks. If I can't get the scratches out I will paint it. I've seen some painted and I think it looks pretty cool. I just don't know how to remove the GT badge.

Drilling out the rivets is the only way I can see to remove the GT badge.

Can't you just tape over the GT emblem and then paint it?

I could but I know that I'd get a cleaner job if I can remove it first.
Here's another question.
What color should I paint it? Not sure if I'd go black or Sterling to match the car.

Dropped off the Mustang yesterday for ongoing transmission, engine tick, and a door rattle issue. Wake up this morning and there is snow and salt everywhere. Poor car, I'm sure they're going to be driving it today lol
