What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[ice445]

Yes I have one (two) of those

If you buy them in the U.K. you don’t get the waffle weave MF’s, so last time I was is the states I picked a second one up so I could get the waffle weaves.

The first additional advantage was that they had updated the foam backing to use like a Velcro backing to hold the pad (rather than elastic).

The second advantage is that the handles stack :

That’s exactly what I did use, up until getting the S550 and then acquiring the two invisible glass tools

My 200IQ solution is to just never clean the rear glass

(I do have one of those things, it still sucks to go back there)

My daily and usually sits outside. I don't wash it unless it's done right which is why very few swirls. It has been months, so wash and wax with McKees. It does get a daily bird dropping inspection.

*fist to birds*

Be glad your car isn't red. Birds love to drop it on red cars.

After hitting a deformed Walmart curb with my splitter, bending my splitter, I decided it prudent to put a camera in front to prevent future costly repairs. (I was able to heat my splitter and form it back to the correct orientation thankfully, but next time it could be more expensive a fix).

Anyway, with a camera and a monitor from Amazon and a couple day's work, I installed a front bumper cam system for a lot less than a splitter.

Oh yes...and while the front end was off, I sanded off the closed-off sections of the honeycomb grille to optimize flow movement on both the high pressure side and the extractor side of the cooling system.

Anyway, pics follow:

Monitor in Folded position.

Monitor in raised position.

I may leave a Mustang hat over it to minimize attention of passerbys and keep direct sunlight from heating up the case.

Very nice! Link to camera by chance? @Snakebyte

Had a great weekend with friends old and new at Laguna Seca!

Sure...Here's a link to the camera.

While I didn't have to, I chose to Dremel a notch in the black lower grille surround, seating the camera a tad further out of sight when looking at the front of the car.

Drove it again today, 200ish miles round trip.
In honor of the 4th we visited Andersonville National Historic Site, National Cemetery and Prisoner of War museum. Frankly it was very sobering and overwhelming. Andersonville was the Confederacy's largest POW prison. 26.5 acres housing up to 33,000 prisoners at one time with zero shelter, almost no rations, and a creek that served as latrine and drinking water. Not the South's finest moment. 13,000 federal prisoners died in the 14 months of its existence, and they are the core of the adjacent National Cemetery. Somehow, under 500 are in unknown graves. It's still an active cemetery for our service people.
It felt wrong to take pictures of the Mustang in this situation.

Andersonville National Cemetery.

The site of the prison camp.

We are only able to celebrate the Fourth of July because of the sacrifice of our military.
Thank You
God Bless

While I'm waiting for my damn hub thrust washers to finally get here.. fixing 'Ford quality is job 1' God awful panel gaps.

Figures that Roush now makes these hood vents available. Might have to remove my Ford/Air Design vents for these. Haven’t decided yet…

They look nice. Note that over time, car washes and sun, the VHB tape will degrade and when at high speed those thing will literally fly off your hood

The Roush as well as the Ford/Air Design are bolted in in addition to tape. But I agree, I wouldn’t want anything on the hood (or a spoiler for that matter) held on by just tape.

If that’s the case I wouldn’t bother with the inner plate. It just restricts air flow.

Drove it!!
