American Car Craft has a polished one but only covers the front panel fender to fender. I just installed that and I like it. I don’t think they currently sell the radiator cover. I’m thinking of trimming and painting my plastic OEM cover to fit with the new polished piece...
Looking for advice on radiator cover - does it serve a function, or is it purely for cosmetic purpose? I am thinking of some custom engine bay dress up ideas and just might delete the OEM cover if it serves no cooling function.
Looking to customize the upper radiator braces, some painting...
Thanks. Yes, it was actually the front wheel well lining. The factory has several push pin type connectors to hold the entire thing in place. I found mine had over an inch of play near the fender well. I am thinking that was enough to bang it against the fender. Might be worth checking out...
Just to put a pin in this….. while installing the shims I noticed the plastic wheel well was flimsy. So I braced it to make it firm - not thinking this was anything but cosmetic. After this conversation about rotors, I removed the wheel well bracing and test drove. Low and behold, the loose...
I wonder if I inadvertently did something while inserting the “shims”? My initial thought was the rotors were moving slightly and clunking against the studs under those conditions. But now I’m doubting that after your input.
The diff and driveshaft parts were replaced with no noticeable...
It does seem weird, but it seems to have worked. My wheels were always tightened, and the clunk was with the factory wheels. The factory alignment spacer was removed with the new wheels about 20k miles ago.
The wheels are Vintage Wheels 407SSP with center bore at the stock 70.6mm. They were...
Solved a “clunk” issue with my 2007 GT vert. Maybe others can benefit.
I’m the original owner. Not a daily driver (only 91k miles). Always had a clunk sound when downshifting/ braking while making a turn. Ford dealer was useless in 2007 and I just put up with it, knowing I would upgrade...
Saw my first MachE mustang today. Not worthy of the name Mustang. Ford went batshit crazy.
Electric vehicles will be fringe until nuclear is accepted. Hybrids are the answer for the conservationists.
I’m glad I have my S197 with Magnum 6 speed and blower.

I’m running 4:10 with 550hp and 460torque in rebuilt 07 ‘vert with Paxton 2200 at 12 lbs and magnum trans.
Love the 4:10 feel (like low-end power). My hardest thing is learning how to keep my non-sticky tires on the road.
ps I don’t race - all street and show. So discount accordingly. Good...
Perfect timing on this question and the responses. I also have a new Paxton set up on my 07. I noticed my JLT catch cans are trapping more oil. Breathers now seem like the better answer. Also, cleans up the bay.
Now I need to research breathers and install. My winter projects just expanded.
