20% tint all around, tinted side markers front and rear, and had the hood vents wrapped.

I have a tint appointment next week and was thinking about going with 20% but worried that it wouldn't be dark enough. Are you happy with the level?

I always do 20% on my cars... dark enough during the day to make a huge difference but not too dark at night to see what is around you.

Yes, very happy, I had 20% on my 13 as well and prefer it. I had used 5% on many of my previous vehicles before that and was just too dark at night and really drew more attention from cops. I have not been pulled over since running 20%. Knock on wood...And it is still plenty dark to keep the car cool and the sun off my face when driving.

I'm sure it's not going anywhere, but I have to prove just how reasonable the Mustang is as far as having a family is concerned. Yesterday was the first time putting our 8-week old daughter in my car and driving her alone to watch her for the evening, so if it helps the wife sleep at night I'll post a tech thread if I have to. (Not really.) Every little bit helps! Thanks again, guys. 07Boss wasn't too far off: it was indeed a tight hole.

FYI, I have a 3yo and 5yo ride in the back about 2/3 of the week every week. A newborn in a rear-facing would be harder, but doable. Yes, the Mustang will baby.

The 3yo (the little girl) requests riding in the Mustang 95% of the time. :D

Today I finally got the upper grille swapped out with the warranty-replacement piece that AM sent me.

It sucked to find that the mounting points have been changed, so I had to drill new holes to install the new piece, but I'm still very thankful that Alex @ AM took care of me the way he did ... love the look that grille gives!

I also emptied out the catch can and then moved on to work on the GF's car a bit ... she's been complaining on lack of traction lately, especially since she can now actually enjoy shifting the car with the new MGW shifter ... so a quick fix was to remove the Invo-equipped Alcoa rims and install my autocross set-up ... 2010 GT500 convertible 18" wheels, with her old 285/40/18 Goodyears on the front rims, and 305/40/18 Nitto 555R DR's on the back.

Took the car for a quick drive, and it's definitely a bunch harder to spin the tires ... it'll still do it without a problem, but now you have to actually try.

I got the jiffy bleeders for the rear cal... and install the rear Russell brake lines. Also dropped the LCAs to the middle hole to see if that helps with traction. While the rear wheels were off I figured I'd wax the inside and outside of the wheels.

Hell, I do more than that on every highway on ramp. :poke:

Today I ran mine up to about 120 on the ramp and coasted back down to 80 to merge.

You guys are slow :p.

Lol ... this was in a fair bit of traffic ... just noticed that it sounded good, the sound bouncing off the jersey barriers to the left and grabbed the camera :)

Took it to a show in Claremont NH, benefiting the Claremont Senior Center.


On the way to the show, I was mid-pack in a 13-Mustang convoy :)

At the show, yes, my car is flanked by 2 cars with aaaaalmost the same plate, both being 2008 Shelby GT500s, both white with blue stripes, both NH cars :)
