It really wasn't that bad while the sun was shining but we got a nice afternoon shower shortly after the landscapers at work used their leaf blowers.

1. The visors are so thin/flimsy that my garage door opener falls off.
2. The cup holders are in the way of my arm when shifting and I have to drive like my right pit is on fire if I have a drink in the car.
3. The 115 MPH speed limiter is ridiculous. It'll do that at about 6k RPM in fourth gear and still pulling strong.

Don't you have homelink on your car?

Nope, Homelink was nixed from all Mustang models from what I understand. I wish I did though.

I remember now!

Hmm maybe at dusk? Haha doesn't matter either way really though, whatever is more convenient for you. I appreciate it! Just satisfying my curiosity...

Ok, I just took one at night anyway. It turned out pretty well but I still haven't figured out how to upload a video to Youtube in 1080i. I;ll let you know when it's uploaded in whatever quality I can get. It's a little bit of what you asked for but if I missed something specific, just let me know.

Here is a 1080p HD video of the HID headlights. Let me know if I missed something. The 1080p version gives crystal clear shots into the headlight assemblies.

This is a re-uploaded 720p HD video of the exhaust from the other night.

Ps, what's that pop you hear after you rev it? Sounds like a "snap"...

Thanks. It's a Sony HandyCam HDR-CX100. I'm definitely going to put 25% tint all around. I've been considering lowering 1" and possibly exhaust but we'll see about those. Yesterday I noticed my first nicks in the hood so I may be looking into an after market carbon fiber hood.

Yeah, there's some snapping to it but I'd say it's closer to popping. I've been referring to the sounds it makes as popping and burbling. It even makes that sound between gears and while down-shifting.

If you want videos of anything else, all you need do is ask. As it turns out, it's actually really easy to put these videos up. I just hadn't tried.

I picked up one of these on my way home from work today. It came out to $150 + tax. It will likely be the weekend before I have pics of it installed since the entire bumper need to be removed and it's still 99 outside at 6:30 here in good old Texas. BTW, this is the extension from the Ford accessories website.

Hey, thanks man and welcome to the group. The only thing they fouled up on the MCA package is not using the GT/CS rear bumper extension.

The one thing good about it is that they both stay unique in their own way. I'll be sure to share pice once I get my baby.
