Tell me what you guys think. I had the "interior upgrade" package from the factory where the center trim around the radio was painted "silver." But I repainted to a more metallic silver and did some painting to the bezels on the side of the door and on the dash. I also cut out where it almost seems Ford purposely put a cut out. The hood scoop now pushes "colder" air DIRECTLY onto the intake manifold. Works great! I don't drive the car in the rain, so water isn't even an issue for me.

 

Some more...

If you want to know how exactly to paint your interior correctly and have it look factory looking, mustangworld has a great write up!

I did about 5 coats of silver and 3 coats of the clearcoat.

 

looks great. if you only had to chose 1 gaugd pod would it be the a pillar style or the pod in the middle. i dont know which way to go. if i do the a pillar i am getting the speed of sound pillar

 

I would go with the Saleen style gauge pod in the center. It doesn't blind you, no matter what gauge you go with. Becuase I had Autometer C2 series gauges before which were a very strong flourecent blue color. That really blinded you on the a-pillar. But the center style also is out of the way, but close enough so that you can see what you need to see.

 

thanks. does the pod sit flush with the dash or can you see under it. any idea on a good place to get one cheap

 

Yeah, they sit flush and great. www.rpmoutlet.com best prices, best customer service!

 

Looks really good Brandon. IF I had a Mustang I would do the same.

 

Yeah Ben, I'm still so sorry to hear about the mustang. Any clue on what your next car will be?

 

Mustang

 

Hell yes dude...get a V6....:clap:

 

Interior looks real good man..Ive seen people that did it themselves and it really looks like ****..did you do anything to the hood scoop to support it b/c ive heard that if you take the honeycomb off theres a chance the thing could fly off

 

Yes I did actually. Look closely at the FIRST and SECOND TO LAST pictures...you can see one black zip tie. Well all the bolts that held it down originally before were able to be used again, EXCEPT for one. That one bolt to hold the scoop down was in the center behind the honeycomb grill. So I just simple zip tied the one that wasn't used. Its fine now...trust me...I've tested it out if you know what I mean.

 

hahaha, hell no!!!

 

Hahaha, just kidding...:dots:

 

I like it...

 

looks good man... i did the same thing with my hood a couple weeks ago. right now im making something to bring the air over and drop it onto the air filter. it's gonna have a water trap in it just in case (it rains every day here in florida during the summer at 3:00pm...)

 

Yeah definately man. Thats a great idea, I don't think I'll have that problem though where my air filter sits in the fender well. Post pics up when you're done though, I want to see that!

 

Was your guys hood painted underneath? yours dont look like it is in the pics brandon but im thinking of going to ford to get mine painted under warrenty

 

Yeah, mine wasn't painted from the factory, there was a liner there instead.

 

i doubt they'd paint it under warranty... gt's dont come with the underside of the hood painted as far as i know. they have a hood liner under there like 40thblckgt said... mine wasnt painted under the hood either.

Harness bar...

 

 

jesus...i want ur car really really badly..haha..looking better and better.....

now wat u could do is drill holes in each indintation (sp?) and put the honeycomb grille back on and make it look like u have nothing done to it....that would look sick.....hahaha...

the things u do w/ ur stang just amaze me brandon.....kudos

EDIT: do you not have the seat part of the RSD in? i just noticed that

 

Thanks a lot Brandon, very flattered. Keep up the good work on your mustang too! Just don't do what Ben did....:bash: shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

hahahaha....dont worry....that wont happen before we get together...

 

Looks Great! as usual...i'm back in town, infact I passed by your area on my way back from Lorton, VA (Autotrain)... Def. be nice to see that thing in person sometime...

 

We have some big cars meets in this area...at Reston Town Center on thursday nights.

 

well seeing as i'm outa for the summer and got nothin else to do I might head out there one week...

 

Sounds good man.

 

So did you paint the liner? or get rid of it? I'm pretty sure you need that liner or you'd melt your hood
