the short version and I am a retired Insurance Appraiser and former shop owner....
The shop as part of the repair process represents you and negotiates with the Insurance company for the amount needed for repairs and part replacements to restore the car to pre loss condition per the language in...
You could drive to Florida to any of the Whipple or Ford Performance authorized sellers that are contributors to this forum and have them install it for about $3000 plus the cost of the kit
Now if you are going to go with upgraded oil pump gears, catch cans, etc etc etc the price is going to go...
The PN that got CARB certified for a tune for the 24+ 5.0 mustangs is M-9063-M50D but so far it just exists on paper
On @LevittownFordParts website under 24 Mustang, and sub menu Ford Performance, there is now a tool to load tunes/calibrations but it screams out in a large font on the page that...
the reality is that we no longer can buy an automobile and do with it what we want.
It started with the Government and catalytic converters and the addition of all sorts of mandated equipment.
Ask The Diesel Brothers what happens when you play with a tune. ($850,000 fine)
Ask the shop that...
Let me know how they are keeping the Cat's from blowing out
There are people using the Whipple kits that are putting out more than the ones Whipple is providing for Ford Performance and there have been failures of the cats due to heat and flow exceeding the design capacity, and Ford is denying...
Can that be repaired?
YES
3M makes an excellent bumper repair kit
It requires the cracked area to be "V'd" out and the rear reinforced.
In your case I'd go as far as trying to blend the color in keeping int as low and localized as possible and clear the Whole bumper.
Just be aware many...
I am looking at @LevittownFordParts website and I am seeing a lot of parts for the Mustang that were not there the last time I looked.
Strut braces, Dark Horse steering wheels, 3.55 loaded center sections, lots of interesting things, I am just digging into it now for the first time.
It may...
Hey @LevittownFordParts does this mean a tune is imminent?
I still don't see M-9063-M50D show up as an available part yet, but the device to load the tune is now available?

"it does not need to be recalibrated, it will work fine"
Sure that sounds good, until the system does not work as designed and someone gets hurt, then Fred's Glass Shop that has no assets walks away from the lawsuit with a judgement that can never be collected.
The alignment shop with a 30...
Ford is among a bunch of manufacturers who specify only OEM glass be used to replace any windshield, they will not guarantee any of the safety systems will work with any other supplier.
As a car owner you are free to put in what you want, but as an Insurance or repair shop guy I need to follow...

I don't know about Ford, but my 2022 Highlander came with a stack of manuals, including one that was over 600 pages just for the radio.
The Pilot Operating Handbook for a...
Every time I post a certain member of the peanut gallery wants to chime in and make it a dick measuring contest.
Frankly I don't care anymore
My Mustang is so low on the list of things I have an interest in I only come here when I am totally bored out of my mind
And I just realized I am...
I am lots of fun everywhere I go
and when it comes to stuff like changing lights out I ask these things because in every town, on every department, there is some Ahole cop that is going to crucify someone for something he does not like and I like to make sure that when that happens the owner of...
Gee I did not know that!
18 years as a mechanic, 20 as a body/frame tech. ,9 as an Insurance appraiser that had to memorize 50 pages of "P Pages" so I knew what was an included operation and what was not (bathroom breaks, breaks, pulling the car in, etc are considered part of the normal labor...
If you are not the original owner, you did not have a lot of leverage to force the dealer to install them because you can't prove the original purchaser did not ask for them to be left off.
The selling dealer already got paid for the PDI so there is no way for the dealer or tech to be paid...
