What OP picture shows is the fitment of the (plastic) rocker molding to the (metal) rear quarter panel. I don't think you can adjust that, other than maybe ghetto-rigging it with some rubber padding against the inside surface of the rocker molding to make it bulge out more, flush with the RQP...

I would definitely get rid of that car. Lemon law it. 30+ fault codes on a brand new car doesn't sound right, there could be various electronic issues, which are a real headache to root out. And definitely sudden stalling could be very dangerous.

I wish Ford would put their money into better QC. Build quality, fitment, squeaks/rattles, etc. I find it hard to trust 10R80s after many I've experienced. The MT82 doesn't have a good rep either. There's no way we're gonna get more for less, or even the same money. It will absolutely go up in...

I own white but prefer silver. Silver ones are hard to find on dealer lots. Silver will be easier to maintain, but if you ever need the services of a body shop, metallic silver is one of the hardest colors for them to match. I've had bad experiences even with the top-rated body shop in a major...

I too thought I could suck it up, but I think I'm going to switch to another platform. '24 Ecoboost - many problems including engine coolant leak, defective axle. '25 GT - less rattles than '24, but 10R80 transmission problems and engine randomly died for no reason once while driving...

Quarter million dollar spenders who want American + V8 will probably go ZR1/ZR1X over GTD/Super Snake R. Ford and Shelby's only play left for Mustangs is milking boomer nostalgia until the boomer generation dies out (no offense to boomers on this board). The younger generations never...

Did you paint those MUSTANG letters? Also for what it's worth on my '24 Ecoboost the plastic of those letters got smudged/melted from the heat of the engine bay

Not that poster, but I believe the part is: JL1Z-7089-B Also curious how to DIY this.

Anyone have experience with the depreciation on M2's or M240i's? Seems like a good alternative/competitor to our Mustangs, but my understanding is BMW depreciation is one of the worst, so I'd hate to lose $30-40K after a few years.

Also noticed random small paint defects on my prior '24 Ecoboost, less so on my '25 GT. Definitely agree Ford needs to improve quality. If it were a 30K car, I'd bite my tongue and suck it up. But for 50K-70K, they better be at least as good as a Toyota Corolla that's half the price.

Were you able to get the 'employee pricing' discount on a custom order?

These cars still have some electronic intervention even in "fully off" modes. At least in S550 GTs, if you pull the classic Cars-and-Coffee move: a burnout from a stop while making a turn onto a street, it will let you spin tires until your first counter-correction, brake stab, or letting off...

I used to use wheel cleaners without issue but would caution against any acid wheel cleaners. After driving my new GT home from the dealer 100 miles away, I noticed the paint on the calipers and wheels was damaged by likely acid wheel cleaner during PDI. There are drip-streaks on the front...

^Yes, from reading around on the internet I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. 6G Forum member had the same issue here: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/10r80-clunk-noise.164619/ Links to TSB 20-2253 (for 2WD Ford Expeditions) but it's the same symptoms. Similar posts on F-150 forums as...

Is this the same thing as the "transmission output flange" lubrication issue? https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/clunking-noise-from-the-transmission-when-slowing-down.161604/page-2#post-3311352 https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/clunking-small-knocking-when-light-braking.159124/

Maybe I have this too... clunking/small knock when decelerating gently to a stop, right before full-stop. Also coincided with a new jerk/clunk when shifting between R and D (10R80). Seems to be driveline issue rather than wheels/suspension.

From someone with a base non-active exhaust (which I modified with a Roush axle-back), I highly recommend the factory active exhaust option. OEM active exhaust is like $1500? A good quality aftermarket exhaust system is say ~$1000 just for the parts, without install. Aftermarket exhausts...

48K for a used '24 with 14K miles seems high. You can likely negotiate a new '25 Performance pack to 50K before tax. These cars often go for 4-8K under MSRP. Even after they stopped advertising "For America" pricing, you can still negotiate similar pricing (and many reports online that...

Thanks for the detailed write-up! EDIT: misread your graph and calculations. I will review this later in more detail.

Anyone driven both a GT (not Dark Horse) and a base C8? Wondering how the low-end torque and handling feel compares between them. Missing my old Camaro LT1's instant low-end torque in basically any gear. C8 supposedly has more torque than the LT1, but not sure if it feels that way.
