    Chunk out of tire

    Had a small chunk taken out of tire by a malicious curb. Almost an inch long...maybe 3/8" deep. Its right on the rim protector area. Do you think I should replace? See pic.

    CDC Splitter installed

    Finally got around to putting this on my 2010. Now with the boss 302 rear diffuser, I feel I’m done with the “ground effects”.

    2010 HID to 2013 HID/LED Headlights?

    I put this in the 5.0 section because its probably more common among 2011-14's. I know they make a kit now to add 2013-14 headlights to 2010-12's that came with halogens, but is there anything yet for those of us with the HID option? I'm not into rewiring everything. Just looking for a...

    Boss/GT500 rear diffuser installed

    Just had this put on today. It's subtle, but I think it adds a little character to the back end. Also, for anyone who has a 10-12 and wants to do this mod, I got this from the Ford accessories website for 187.00 shipped AND installed at the Ford dealer. I couldn't believe how cheap. They were...

    Added FRPP aluminum driveshaft

    Had it installed last week. Definitely noticed a little more “urgency” when hitting the go pedal. Also feels a little more connected to the road if that makes any sense. A little pricey at $650, but worth it just to get rid of my clunky 102k mile factory shaft. Of course like any other mod...

    Too Much Lean? 2010 GT

    So I have a 2010 GT trackpack, that has a few Boss 302 bits here and there that include; near new take off springs, rear sway bar, and brake lines. I’ve also added Koni orange str struts/shocks, poly front sway bar bushings, a Shelby rear shock brace, and run 285/255-19 tires. I like to call it...

    Shifting at high rpm’s

    So I know this is a pretty old subject with these cars. I just want to hear from some people that actually found a way to remedy it. My 2010 GT, has the stock shifter with the Saleen shifter block added. The Saleen block did shorten the shift throw, but also made it notchier-which I know is a...

    Finally got GT500 rims on

    Bought these back in November. Was waiting for best deal on tires to come along. Actually Amazon and EBay came through as the lowest prices. I went with staggered widths even though the rims are all 19 x 9.5. 285/35 in rear, 255/40 in front to keep the diameters consistent. I like them, but I...

    Bought GT500 rims. Tires?

    So I bought a set of 4 front base GT500 rims from a 13-14. They all measure 19 x 9.5 with a 44 back spacing. Wondering if I should do a staggered set up or square. Option 1: I have 255/40/19 all around in decent shape, so I could keep 2 and put 2 new/used 285/35s on the rear. This is pretty...

    Boss 302 Springs Worth it?

    I have an opportunity to pick up some low miles fr/rr boss 302 springs for a cheap price. My car is a 2010 Track pack with about 95k on the original springs. I know they don’t lower the car much(about 1/2 inch up front, less in rear), but I don’t really want to lower it. I just want something...

    Code P2104, 2010 GT

    My car started and idled, but had no throttle and had an engine light on. I scanned it with the SCT4, and it showed code P2104, which is related to the tps on the throttle body. So instead of messing with that, I just bought a new Ford Performance stock replacement TB from AM. Put it in...

    Added Rear Wheel Spacers

    Tired of the “tucked in” look on the back wheels, so put on 25mm coyote spacers. I really like the stock 19’s, and I can’t go any wider with the tires (255/40), so this was my option. Looked weird at first, but it’s growing on me.

    Shelby shock brace added

    Figured I’d put a little bling in the trunk. I painted it to match the stripes on my car. Noticed a little more rigidity in sharp turns, but it was mostly about looks and the Shelby name.

    BBK Catted X clip

    Just added it. Idle/revs. Rest is a Flomaxx axle back. Stock headers. Sounds pretty good wide open too.

    Unintended Acceration

    Had a weird instance where revs just kept climbing under heavy throttle in 3rd. Took out of gear right away, pulled over and shut down. Was bouncing off rev limiter for about 5 seconds though. I do have one of those sprint boosters that wires into your pedal and shortens the drive by wire...

    Added a gurney lip

    I have an eBay special gt500 spoiler on my 2010 GT that I decided to add a gurney lip/flap to. It’s a factory flap, but the spoiler had no attachment points. So I ground down the dowels and used heavy duty 3M automotive tape to attach it. Not sure if it’ll hold under pressure-guess I’ll find...

    Splitter for 10-12 GT?

    Does anyone make a flat, abs plastic (no carbon fiber) splitter for the 10-12 GT? And one that does not require those little rods. For the standard fascia, not the boss 302/CS style?

    Putting ‘11 brakes on my ‘10

    I bought a set of used 2011 front calipers for my 2010 so I can run the bigger non brembo 13” rotors. If I’m ordering a set of front and rear rotors/pads, can I just order a 2011 set? Meaning, are the rear rotors/pads the same as the ones on my 2010?

    285s on 19 x9

    I know this has been brought up in the past. Some say no issues, some say they wouldn’t do it. I’m looking to put these on just the rears and leave the front 255s. I don’t really autocross or drag race. It’s just for looks. Just looking for people that have done it and their opinion. My car is...

    Should I be worried about this noise?

    This is my first 4.6 Mustang and i've read they can be noisy. My car has a slight knocking sound at idle and it increases with rpm. I never hear it while diving though. I did listen to some youtube vids of cam phasers and rod knock, and it doesn't sound like that. Vids:

    Black with white stripes?

    Looking for some s197 pics of black mustangs with white over the top stripes. I’m looking at a set of white supersnake stripes, but wondering if it’ll be too much. If so, maybe silver. But I do like white

    62 mm TB worth it?

    On a mostly stock 2010? I have an Airaid race cai, canned 93 SCT tune, and pypes axle back. Will I feel a difference? Will the throttle response be noticeably better?

    New to me 2010 GT

    Picked this up over the summer to replace my fox body. Mostly stock except for pypes violators, Airaid intake, and 62 mm tb. It’s a track pack car with nav and the comfort pkg.. I added some konis and a gt500 wing. And new Falken 255/40s
