nice vertible we need some top down pics of it too

 

You went back to your old hood? Thought it was carbon fiber

Man that's one heck of a car

 

Will do, my day off is coming up, gonna clay bar and wax soon.

 

Thanks bro!

it is the cf hood, but color matched now. The vents are unpainted though. The raw CF didn't look as good as i'd hoped after clear coat so i had them paint it DIB. I am glad i did.

 

Yes I agree!

 

So I rented a 2013 Corvette convertible from Hertz last weekend. Made me want to trade in my Bullitt and get a new(er) GT convertible. Too bad I can't afford a newer Mustang. I had never driven a convertible for an extended period of time. It was so much fun, especially here in San Diego where I could use it all year round.

 

Why'd a corvette make you want a newer stang?
Or is it because it was a convertible and you fell in love with a vert now?

 

Can't beat a summer day with the top down.

 

Time for a boys weekend golf trip.

 

Amen.

 

Tom, you next mod should be...

I've considered it Patrick. But I'm waffling on the idea. Sometimes I really like the way it looks, other times I don't. Most of all though I'm not crazy about having to cut holes in the rear interior trim panels.

But thanks for looking out for me!!!!

Tom

 

absolutely gorgeous

 

I hear ya! I'd be scared to do that too. I'm heading out to the car now actually, to install my GT500 steering wheel finally!

 

What are the differences/advantages of the Shelby steering wheel vs stock?

Tom

 

i quick search of pics it looks the same as a GT except for the emblem of course and a sort of suede cover for better grip and feel maybe?
p.s. it looks like it has a couple of humps for better grip as well. Hmmm… not a bad upgrade Patrick

 

You got it Darren. The 10/2 grips are actually larger, but it's the suede that attracted me. I'm also doing the GT500 shift and e-brake boots soon, to tie it all in, topped off with a black Boss 302 ****.

I was lucky, I scored my wheel off a member here who had sold his car and never installed it - got it for $150! I couldn't pass that up. It's been waiting for my car a week after I ordered the car lmao!

 

If it makes you feel any better, those panels are pretty cheap to replace... When I sold my '06, I bought replacement panels (cause I uninstalled the light bar before selling) and when I got my '13, I reinstalled the same bar and was even able to reuse the panels that I had already cut for the '06!

 

i'm not crazy about light bars, but rather get an actual roll bar…the get it padded with black foam.

Just because it was a convertible. I did enjoy the Corvette a lot, but they're insanely overpriced compared to a Mustang. Yeah it handles better and it looks more exotic/European, but it didn't sound very good and the build quality was awful inside. More plastic than the '05-09 Mustangs that cost 1/4 of the price. I was also surprised that it didn't feel that much faster than my Bullitt.
