Got the new RTR decklid pane all painted/cleared, just needs a good wet-sanding:

make sure you set up the gauge so it gets an accessory on +12v signal (adding that extra wire), not just drawing power from the OBD port (hope i'm explaining this properly). otherwise, you will notice the gauge cycling on and off all the time, even when the car is off and has been sitting.

Thanks guys, I'll have to keep an eye out on that odd behavior. So far it's already behaved kinda weird, will have to see.
I really didn't want to add the extra wiring, but I guess I could probably piggyback off the radio fuse?

I went up to the car a couple hours ago and the gauge was off, I hit unlock on the remote and the driver's door unlocked but at the same time the gauge also powered up.
I tried it again about 10 minutes later and the same result.

Are you sure it will cycle on/off completely on its own, without any outside interference such as the remote-unlock?

Thanks man, I love it!
And yeah, the blower's still getting installed, but with all the snow on the ground, I have no will to install it right now :/ ......


Today I placed another order with Hypermotive

- Steeda 555-4098 upper control arm for lowered 11-14 cars
- Steeda 555-4096 upper control arm for lowered 05-09 cars for the GF's '08 Shelby
- Redline Tuning all-black no-drill hood strut kits for both cars
- Speed of Sound dual-gauge a-pillar for my car
- Speed of Sound triple-gauge a-pillar for her Shelby

Also ordered the Ford Racing rear bump stop kit, this one from Autonation Ford, for almost $25 shipped, better by a few dollars than what anybody else could've done it for.

Still looking for gauges.
She wants A/F ratio, Boost, and oil psi
I want Boost and oil psi.
I already am getting A/F ratio readout via the Aeroforce, and on a recent WOT pull through 3rd and 4th gears it was right at 12.4-12.5

Did you change your exhaust to something other than stock? Sounds good. I try to stay away from parking garages here in Germany because they are made for Fiat's.

Thanks Steve, yeah there's no resonators anymore and the mufflers are Borla S-type axlebacks

Sweet mods, some great ideas.
How did the paint on the GT500's hold up? I just did mine a month ago.

I'm curious to see how that AeroForce gauge works out for you (I want to put two of them in the triple gauge Laguna Seca mount that goes on the top middle of the dash along with a volt meter- but want some real-world reviews first).
