That's why I use the Griot's product. I can't stand shiny tires. New tires are NOT shiny. This stuff is easy to use and works great.

Those look great with that color. How did you get the watermark on your photos?

Thank you. I am happy with the colors also.

I am a photographer, so I have learned to watermark everything. I used lightroom5 for those photos.

Installed my Roush lowering springs and BMR adjustable panhard bar. Bought these second-hand and was told they were 1.5" lowering springs. Looks like they're 1". Still an improvement though.

In ACroDSee Pro you can do it, it is a little more time consuming than other softwares. Adobe Lightroom 5 is pretty inexpensive and is fairly easy to use. I think you can get it for around $125. I use Lightroom, Photoshop and Portrait Pro for my editing.

Looks perfect. Oem brembo wheels! I haven't seen those on mine in a few months. I'll have them back on in winter for storage.

Installed door armrest covers and a console armrest cover from Redline Goods. Great fit and love how they feel. Oh, the comfort is so luxurious.... The charcoal alcantara matches the charcoal cloth nicely.

I ordered the SR Performance steel braided clutch line. Got locked out of 3rd gear again over the weekend and from what I've read, this clutch line helps eliminate that. Buys me some time to get other mods done before dropping $400 on an MGW shifter.

Took her to the gym, and more errands later while maybe stopping for a photo shoot. Enjoying my day off.

I swapped my Pedestal Spoiler-equipped decklid with one that has the standard spoiler. I'm MUCH happier now. Didn't like the pedestal style one at all, not to mention it's a pain with all the water it traps when washing the car. It only took about 45 minutes to do the swap. Very painless!

I took delivery, drove her home in the pouring rain, and installed a few goodies.

Moroso separator, Boss coil covers, AM front flaps, BBR antenna, and a miserable failure installing MMD hood struts thanks to some unclear photos (see my build thread for details).

Day 2 of Mustang ownership, raining even harder. So I did stuff.

Step 1: Install GT500 mufflers (2012 style).
Review: Oh my god. Why aren't these stock? Install is cake, perfect fit, no fiddling.
No pics because, well, everybody's seen GT500's.

Step 2: Install Boss side exhausts with 3/4" hole baffles.
Review: OH MY GOD. Youtube video's of ace2ace's car with this setup do not begin to do it justice. Only real difficult part was getting the front clamps loosened off. My 5.5 socket stripped the end, and the actual bolt head is facing up with no room for really anything. Just tedious. Other than that, not bad at all. I did have to remove a couple of little plastic air deflectors to install the side pipes, and I'd never read about this requirement in any install or review, including videos. Maybe it's a 13-14 thing? All the vids I saw were 11's. Sorry about the horrid flash:

Step 3: Install Energy Suspension shifter bushing.
Review: TBA when the rain stops. Install was cake. After futzing around with exhaust all afternoon, a couple 10mm bolts and some WD40 on the new bushing, no sweat. 5 minute install. This one uses the stock bracket. Just looking to get rid of some of the crunchiness. Jury's out.

Top Gear Top Tip: If doing a shifter bushing/mount install and H-pipe replacement on the same day, take a break after getting the H-pipe off and do the shifter bushing then. It's not a huge deal, but does give you a little extra space. I did NOT heed this tip, but the bushing was still only a 5-minute job.
