Got the H in the JBA H-pipe welded today, then removed the cheap U-clamp that JBA includes, and had the band clamp keeping the H-pipe connected to the over-axle pipes tack-welded to the pipes, to keep the pipes from slipping out of the band clamps again.
Also had the Whiteline trans-mount bushing removed.
No more horrible NVH ... ahh ... nirvana !!!

I washed, clayed, and waxed my 2016 GT yesterday...
Washed using Meguiar's Gold Class wash solution, clayed with Meguiar's Smooth Surface clay kit, then waxed with Chemical Guys XXX Hardcore Carnuba Paste Wax...
The results are fantastic!
When I was prepping, I found this mark on my driver's rear bumper, and I still have no idea what it is. My main thought is that it's possibly blue crayon, from my three year old son, but regardless, it took forever to get it off the vehicle. I had to clay the spot three times, but it finally came off.
Here's the final results...

Looks Great. Love it in race red! Very striking!
Glad the blue came out, or you may have had to put some blue stripes on it... But don't do that.

Wired in a battery disconnect switch. I relocated the battery to the trunk back in March 2013 and have had the disconnect switch for almost as long. Finally have the easy part done, the switch installed and wired but still need to drill the back panel and the GT/CS bumper cover to install the push-off rod. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Just ordered some wheels and some tires ... Nitto NT555R 305/35/20's for the back of my car and the GF's Shelby, and 2 wheels that I need to test-fit on the car before I order 2 more

Nitto has a new tire coming out soon. It's on the Steeda Streetfighter car prototype. Supposed to be pretty awesome as well.

Got another dreaded insurance call, but turned out to be an update, they have not been able to contact the other party or insurance company for a statement, so they are pursuing to get the pay out reembersed fully from the other company, and finding the other driver at fault...as well as recover the deductible and pay that back to us...
Debating on if I want to replace the door (swap parts) or just try and repair the one I have...
That sucks. Obviously pick a shop you can trust and question a repair vs. replacement on the quarter. The last thing you want to do is to hack off the panel and disturb factory welds and corrosion protection. It looks like the door will require a skin though. Good luck.

Here we go!
20x10 Niche Milan on the front of my Brembo-equipped '13 GT.
Everybody said they won't fit, that the spokes will hit the calipers, or that the wheel will hit the strut.
It couldn't possibly fit any better, I so can't wait to get them paired up with some tires and mounted up for real!
No spacer, no rubbing, no clearance issues
Now I just need some tires and 2 more wheels for the back
The rear wheels will soon have 2 of these installed on them:
