Dontcha just love having insurance but being afraid to use it because it's gonna cost you more trouble, time and money?

I don't agree with insurance companies, that's all

Sadly, to my understanding I'm still waiting on some under body section, which I feel is ridiculous.
I've waited 4 weeks come tomorrow. For a plastic molded piece? like wtf... Ford is such a *****, I don't know why this part hasn't been delivered. I thought at most this was going to take was a week.
So I'm kinda just waiting to get it back... Which I hope is any day now...



Pending once I get it back and have the CS front this is what it "should" look like... as I did a really rough photoshop on it...

I'm Back!

So a few hours short of it being an ENTIRE month... my wait is over. I just picked it up and am SO happy to be back in the 'stang.

Car turned out really well and I'm really happy I elected to put the new valance in.

Yea 31 days... it was like getting it for the first time again!

The thing that sucks is that there's road expansion on the highways along with a lot of the busy thoroughfare side streets where I live. There's cut offs, bumps and road debris all over the place... So yea, no doubt I'm going to be extra careful. Originally I wanted to lower it... But I'm going to need that extra height. Plus the whole 30+ mile project is supposed to take 5-6 years!!!

**** you stimulus money...

Thanks again tho guys!

If I do get a Mustang, it'll probably be in black.

I wish I could get a Boss 302 in black, it would make my choices easier...

Thumbs up New Lights!

Hey All,

So this past Tuesday I got my new front end lights. I ordered the Hoen HID match fogs. and Chrome amber bulbs. I ordered the Hoen's as Steve/Overboost (and others that have bought) have recommended and they're a pretty nice fit, overall about a 90-95% match.

The installs were pretty easy, I had to take off the plastic radiator cover and take out my CAI to reach the parking lamps. All in all it was about 10 min.

Hoen:

The chrome bulbs / stangmods
http://www.stangmods.com/Chrome-Ambe...bs-p/00729.htm

Overall I'm VERY happy with them so far, the only long term thing will be to see how long they last.
The parking lamps are about 90% light output compared to stock. But it's still very good as it is still definitely noticeable.

A few pics. Don't hate- the car is a tad dirty.

The first pic is just for referencing the chrome bulbs. and how it looks.
Thanks for checkin!

35% tint on the fogs would = the best 2010+ Mustang front end I've seen yet.

The chrome marker lights look awesome man.

I just ordered the fog light replacements and the marker lights are next on my list.

New emblems?

Haven't done too much lately... but I'm probably going to pick up a set of black Billet GT fender emblems. Thus replace the plastic/chrome ones. It's subtle but I kinda like it.

I'm going to leave the faux cap alone as it goes with the chrome exhaust tips.

I couldn't figure out how to order an entire set for a 2012 non HID car... Where can I order this?

^ For the headlamps? Low beams? You're going to be looking for a H13 Bulb. Also referenced as a 9008 bulb.

I can't really comment on who's better, but there's a bunch of sites out there... along with some threads on this site. Use the search feature for "H13" and there's loads of info... Good luck!

New Emblems. pt 2

Never updated this- So truth be told I never sprung for those black chrome emblems...

So about a week ago I Plasti Dipped them (google / youtube it - most do their wheels or chrome pieces.). It's a plastic matte coating that's reversible. For $5 (Home Depot) it turned out really well. 3 coats- and it's very durable.

Horrendous Cell phone pics for the moment:
