  1. 89Trooper's Garage - Modification Journal

    Let me know how it goes. Maybe I’ll do the same with this car.
  2. 89Trooper's Garage - Modification Journal

    I think I’ll get a pair of 25mm spacers and try them on one side of the car. If it looks good, then great, I’ll order another pair. If not I’ll check how much of the 30mm is used for the lug nuts on the stock setup. I think there’s plenty to cut off 3mm. Meaning, there would be 27mm studs if I...
  3. Wheel Spacers!!

    I finally took the time to measure. I have a non-PP GT Premium with 9.0ā€ PP rims on all four corners. Studs are 30mm and the relief hole in the rims is 7mm. 20mm spacer leaves 10mm of stud sticking out, which will not fit in the 7mm relief hole. 25mm spacers leaves 5mm sticking out, which...
  4. 87 Octane

    I doubt it. Nor between 87 & 93. But I’ll put my money where my mouth is. My car is a daily driver, I sit in traffic a lot, but I also do get to do some spirited driving. I know that 87 is not hurting my car, so I'm not worried about that, but I will fill up my tank with 93 the next four times...
  5. 87 Octane

    Honest question here, because I don’t know: For those that want to use 93, why pay $16 (or whatever it is) more per tank when you can add something like this for under $3 a tank? https://a.co/d/9daYV5r
  6. Scratch guard behind door handle?

    Thanks for the replies. I didn't think about it until it was mentioned, but I looked at my window sticker. My dealer does some "special" things... this was one of them. They also put a strip along the edge of the door (that was already starting to peel up on the passenger side). All are...

    Yes, definitely! But I haven’t on this car, yet. I’m just over 2000 miles and I have a week off over Christmas, so I was going to do the first one then. I’ve heard 10 and 9.5, so I guess we’ll see, soon! I have always used the Motorcraft filter and the Motorcraft blend. I do know it’s a lot...
  8. Scratch guard behind door handle?

    Is this from the factory or is it something the dealer installed? It’s already starting to peel and looks worse than what it’s trying to prevent.

    @RaceRedder no warning lights when the rears are disconnected, so most likely none for the front, either.
  10. EZ Pass / Smart Tag Location

    Florida finally offers a black one (not that I couldn't have painted it). Tint doesn't bother it and you can't see it outside. You can barely see it inside.

    I have the fronts all back together, but I haven't done the rear lights yet. When I disconnect them I'll check for any warning lights - but I doubt there will be any.

    Yes... just five plastic rivets holding the fenderwell down, then just reach behind it and unplug it. What does your car have in that location now?
  13. 89Trooper's Garage - Modification Journal

    Yes, the top is the stock sidemarker with the single LED (maybe two?). And the bottom is the Form Lighting replacement with the entire strip of LEDs.

    Man, what a difference. Not pressed into place, yet...
  15. 89Trooper's Garage - Modification Journal

    Good eye! The real reason I have all four tires off is because I'm installing the ZL1 Deluxe Rock Guards and the Form Lighting LED Sidemarkers... and the 4th brake light. All in the same areas, so doing them at the same time made sense. And now I have plenty of access! Since they are off...

    Window Tint Date completed: 10/13/24 Done at: TINT MY RIDE PRO INC., Davenport, FL For anybody looking in the Davenport/Haines City/Winter Haven areas, he does an amazing job. This was a surprise on the back window when I was checking over the tint when finished - never noticed it...

    They were on for 9 years on my 2015 in Central Florida. Ever even started to peel off. 😁
  18. Which rim do you like better?

    Yep… black I wouldn’t like. These are gray. Doesn’t sound like a huge difference, but the contrast is what I like against the black car/black tires. I hate to say it, and it’s just my opinion, but the basic silver wheels make the car look cheap/cheaper. Maybe not so much on other colors like...

    @Alan Applegate Cleaning the inside of my rims!
  20. 89Trooper's Garage - Modification Journal

    Well... I just measured: Stud length on a GT Premium Coupe non-PP = 30mm Relief indention on a 9.0" PP rim = 8mm at most. Let's say 7mm to be safe. 30mm - 7mm = 23mm. A 20mm spacer will not work. A 25mm spacer will have a good 2mm of clearance. Not much, but clearance is clearance. I...
