start something on your stang and wish you had not started? What is the biggest bone-head move you have ever done in relation to your car.

For me, it was my strut-tower intall. Seemed simple enough. I started around misnight figuring I would be done in an hour. I needed the car in the morning for a show. I ended up being up all dam night because rather than drilling and tapping (I did not have aq tap) I tried to bolt it on from the bottom w/o a lift. 5 hours later and all bloody knuckles, I got done.

Then one time last spring, I was getting readu to take the stang out for the firt time. I was in a huge hurry and the battery was dead. I jumped the car, but in my haste I reversed the polarity and fried the battery.

See, even a genius like me, screws up.

 

umm i began 2 do the c pillar install lol, took off the panel in the car and decided against that but didnt affect anything just put it back on and took it 2 shop lol

and my lastest one was i removed my spoiler to move it farther back on the trunklid (1999 spoiler) and now i dont kno if its gunna go back on im feeling the no spoiler look its a big decision

so i guess i realy havent done anything that bone headed 2 it yet

 

Cant say I ever have...

 

i bought a v6 =) worst mod ever

 

O jesus...

How about installing my Accufab Throttle body. I had to make a cut with the dremel to remove the twin butterfly body. After making the cut the piece that I cut fell between the runners and the block, so I had to take off the ENTIRE intake and remove it. At this point i decided to clean my IMRC's, and then realized my fuel injectors were cracked, so I had to replace those, and then I snapped off two bolts from overtorquing. The whole thing took me about two and a half weeks.

Total PITA, but in the end it was worth it.

 

The worst I've ever done was making a switch for the interior neons... I took a drill bit and drilled through one of the coinslots to make room for a switch, stripping plastic everywhere, making a mess, got the switch to fit in but it still looks like ****... and then found I could have bought them (a switched coinslot) from Ford for $10.

 

Does anyone EVER use that stupid coin holder?
lol

 

Changing the studs during my prochamber install. I thought we would NEVER finish that without breaking the stock ones off.

 

no i ****ing hate that they should just put a fake switch there or sumthing

 

That's a good one!

 

A long while ago, I saw that someone was making "ejection seat" buttons that replaced the coin holder. They were really funny and looked cool as hell.

 

You see? Someone else had the ejection seat idea going... yeah I'm not that crazy.. :banana:

 

Actually I do have a regret now that I think about it... Messing with those darn fog lights we've got. Id rather pay someone than deal with that crap.

 

I do but only when i'm rolling through tolls

 

what problem did you have with the foglights? i took mine off and replaced them with some piaa fogs..

 

The entire housing, man they are a PITA to deal with. My car is lowered with a chin spoiler and they leaked so I had to take em off. I just replaced em with the clear ones and they leaked too so I had to take em off and reseal them. There is 0 space to work on those. Its those 3 clips, they are impossible to get on.

 

Gotta tell ya man, started installing my 8" antenna at about 1 in the afternoon, it was such a PITA, I finished about 2 1/2 hours later. Hardest mod yet.

 

lol...uhh im gonna have to go with

worst screw up...buying an auto V6!!...should at least of bought a manual sixer or a manual gt!!

 

i think it took me about 20-30 mins to take the old fogs out and put in the piaa's. did you take the front bumper off or try to do it with the bumper on?

 

front struts. air tools couldnt even break them free. i had to use a 3/4 inch ratchet that thing was about 24"s long. 1.5 hours later they were done.

 

i hear yeah i want my old 00 gt back i miss it

 

suck it up, boy

 

fine ill just make do with my v6 and its measily 280hp come spring

 

boy I SAI- I SAID BOY!!

 

for me, i'd have to say it was the upper control arm on my friends 06 gt. we probably spent about $40 on tools to do the job (breaker bar, special socket, universal, misc other stuff) and in the end we still couldnt break the bolt loose because of the angle. we're either going to wait until he does springs and panhard bar so we can just drop the whole rear end to do it or he might just pay somebody to do it. all in all we spent about an hour working on under the car and maybe an hour or more getting the parts/tools.

 

ummm so far lets see, the exhaust was a bit of a problem before they welded it now it's great...other then that, I'd say buying the CF tailights....I'm glad I put the stock ones back on, it looks alot smoother now...

 

took me 5 minutes to do mine including opening the package.
:yawn:

 

HAHAH the fog lights are no problem on my 97 gt

 

Dude, I did the exact same thing to mine, and it was very simple and only took about 20 minutes. I drilled the hole first and then used wire cutters to snip out the coin holder slots. It looks very nice also
