In my win-the-lottery dreams, there's a barn full of a fleet of crazy rear end poo poo, and that's right in the middle of it. That, and maybe that SRT4-swapped LeBaron that was for sale a while back.

This websites slow as gently caress to checkout. Kind of lovely.

Im guessing shipping isnt free so add $100-$150 for the whole thing..

At that price i would rather have american muscle AMR wheels and ventus V12s

http://www.americanmuscle.com/charcoal-amr-19x95-0512.html
http://www.americanmuscle.com/charcoal-amr-19x85-0512.html

Theyre straight up knock offs of the $300 RTR wheel, its not like the RTR wheel is anything special though material wise, theyre $300 purely because of the name

Theres about one billion pictures of mustangs with rtr wheels on various forums, but i think its the best looking aftermarket wheel out there.

edit: also these are 18" wheels, which i think look weak on the new 5.0s. The cars simply too big for anything smaller than a 19" to look well proportioned. For reference your current brembo wheels are 19" as well

edit: ventus are about $1000 for a set of 4 staggered. whoooops

Yeah, I actually wanted to go with 18s because finding 19" tires is a huge pain in the rear end. The AMR wheels are definitely better looking, but I was hoping to get 10" wide in the rear.

Not sure what you mean by finding them. Finding local places with 19" tires? or tires dont come in R19"?

Meaning it doesn't cost a fortune for a decent tire, which is what I've seen so far. Although these prices aren't bad for the 19" stuff.

Does anyone know where I can find the rear interior quarter panel trim for a 1989 Mustang convertible? The piece of trim that attaches to this. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/ACC-8393QT-RGB/85-89-Mustang-Convertible-Quarter-Trim-Carpet-Regatta-Blue

I checked Latemodel Restoration, National Parts Depot, MPS, Prestige Mustang, and Mustangs Unlimited.

Mine is pretty yellowed and has a hole in the driver's side. I imagine it would be pretty difficult to re-skin it myself. I contacted a couple upholstery places around me but haven't heard back yet.

18" because it's $400 cheaper for wider tires, the Brembos fit, and the wheels are lighter. I'm going to get the Steeda Springs, Koni Dampers, and GT500 strut mounts at the same time I think.

I kinda led the crusade against them when no one wanted to say what shop was popping Coyote engines with their lovely tune. I have no problem with them as a retail shop and they give back to the community a ton. I'd have no issues shopping for parts through them, but I wouldn't order a tune or an engine from them. In your case, go for it.

At any rate, modularfords doesn't have a real administrator so their site is a nightmare crush of layout and design stupidity right now and I can't find the procedure to get the code.

I've got a 1998 remote entry module(the one that's in the trunk) that needs to be replaced, does anyone know if the 1999-2004 modules are compatible? The old remotes are nearly as much as the fobs + module for the newer ones.

Still thinking about a new mustang. Can you get a spare fr the brembo wheels to fit in the trunk somehow? I really don't feel like fix-a-flat will help during a blowout situation or anything other than "my car lost some air over night".

I don't get why Jalopnik called this ad creepy for having the girl's reflection be a lil devil suit.

I like how just after it transforms into the GT500, the rear passes over a bump and the car shimmies.

Was Black Swan a really creepy movie? Maybe it's not a reference that plays well with the Mustang demographic.

I don't have a problem with the little girl thinking of herself as Portman's character from Black Swan. It's just a gimmick. Nobody in the comments could get a response out of the author of the post.

I have a 2012 premium package v6 with an interesting tail light problem.

Everything works except the low-intensity reds that run all the time when the headlights are on. The brake lights work, reverse light works, sequential turns work perfect. Does anyone know something quick I can check out before I have to try to schedule a dealership appointment on my lack of free time?

Check the fuses, a single bulb can have multiple circuits running to it.
