5th gear at 45mph? That sounds entirely too slow. Stainless mufflers tend to be made of thinner gauge material which increases the tinny sound. This may not be applicable to newer exhaust systems, but the old ones (like on my 70 Mustang) tended to create a drone around 3k rpm. Something to do...

Take the unmount GT/CS bumper cover to a Ford dealer . They should be able to match the factory paint, although metallics might be a little tougher. I got mine after an accident, but I have Performance White GT, so it's harder to see any variation between paint. Just make sure they know how you...

The fewer mods the better. Especially if there is a mish-mash of things. A tuned package is one thing, but a bunch of go-fast junk thrown at it may also indicate how it has been treated. Plus, you never really know how well the mods were done. If a manual trans, has the clutch/throw out...

That can happen if you took a pic of the pic with a phone. There should be an editing button on your phone when you open the pic on your phone. There will be a button that has a curved arrow indicating 'rotate'.

That's okay. No hurry. Mine is showing signs of deterioration where my hands sit.

How nice is the steering wheel? Pics?

One or more calipers could be sticking on their slides.

6 gauge MyColor dash cluster and center dash buttons. Make sure it works first. Buttoned in good condition typically bring $30 or more on Ebay. Cluster might get $100...depending on the mileage, but it's hit or miss. Not low or high, but how close to the buyers existing mileage.

Here's a couple more pics from front and rear. I do have a front spoiler/lip that just barely clears most parking stops, but I do have to watch it. It also does NOT like my plastic ramps. The P springs had less drop than the K springs, I think. I didn't want too much.

Is that trim piece an actual Shelby part? Heat expansion is causing it to buckle upwards as it gets hot. Nowhere to go but up between fixed points. Sort of related...I noticed in the first pic that the reflections in the headlights make them look like snake eyes!

If I recall right, the P springs were not an even lowering all around. The rear drops a little more than the front. Plus, springs do settle over time. A concern I had was that my 140k mile oem springs might have settled enough that I wouldn't get the advertised drop. At least, not until the new...

Trig is not my thing, so I will have to trust the expertise of others. I

Definitely get the adjustable panhard bar. I think there was a visible 3/8" shift to one side. That was with the 235 tires. The 255s add another 5/16"-3/8" to each side of the tire. So that would emphasize the shift.

Thank you! I have 255/45/18.
