I don't have a photo of my rear valance, but do of the side emblem. The detailer I worked with was an XPEL franchisee; this gave them access to vehicle templates which could be used with a plotter and software. Other brands of protecting materials might have similar programs and systems. To...

The question above and the wording of the opening post are something of a paradox: a value-oriented performance car, with mods, that will retain the highest value over time. I feel you need to re-think your plans for any car, what you're trying to accomplish. Regarding the depreciation angle...

I forgot about it as well. And now that me and the thread have each gotten a bump :giggle:, I wonder if the $50M is for the new Mustang referenced in this thread. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️ https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/ford-teases-new-addition-to-the-mustang-stable-coming-in-2025.160971/ The 10R80...

I checked your local dealer: they have a manual GT in-stock right now. Test drive? :rockon: https://www.hardyforddallas.com/new-DallasGa-2024-Ford-Mustang-GT-1FA6P8CF4R5417941 Younger than you OP, but all my vehicles are now and have previously been manuals. I can't speak to the '24, but I'd...

It's my belief it has more to do with protection against salt and the elements of a new car during shipment overseas than the environment the vehicle will ultimately live in. The sea air itself is humid and holds a higher salt content. Foggy and unsettled days, more still. A quick transit time...

It's going to be up to the individual, their desire and style. I'd be cautious, for the following reasons: - What the photos look like on-line and what the materials look like in-person can be two different things. And it'd be great if the build tools at Ford offered views of the exterior of...

I'd recommend everyone reviewing their data once a year, for accuracy. Not only for your credit score and how it directly impacts your finances, access to insurance or rates, but employment. I've used annualcreditreport.com multiple times. Great site. Doesn't take long to go through each of the...

My signature below highlights key dates during my build, and the flow of events. Getting a VIN is a great milestone: it means Ford has committed to the build. You should be getting a scheduled date of production next, if you don't already have one. I didn't have access to or receive my Window...

I'll await confirmations, but If it is like the previous FP design, there is no drain. Most empty it by removing the top cover (in this example, the four screws), then using a use a turkey baster or syringe to remove the contents and put that into a drain pan. Edit: From the FP web site...

https://www.ford.com/ford-insure/ "Ford Insure is underwritten by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and affiliates." I feel it is not worthwhile for a few reasons: - The site mentions driving monitoring to get the deepest discounts. You might be quoted one thing, then realize that was a...

The OLM is a self-contained program within the car. It uses several factors (mileage, time, number of drives, duration of drives, temperatures, etc.) when determining oil life. It decrements the life of the oil based on Ford's formula. The OLM can be seen within the car's menus. If using the...

You are correct. My train of thought was wrong. I was relating to older models of vehicles, where the chassis might be stamped with one series, the engine something else. But yea, you're right. VIN is the VIN. The VIN is what's stamped on the unibody. The chassis #, in the case of many late...

For my purpose and for the Mustang I consider chassis number and VIN the same. Attached is a thread, highlighting what some do overseas as part of a customs and registration inspection. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/who-cut-my-carpet-below-the-seat-to-check-the-vin-number.47715/...

It's a valid concern. For the HP gained, sure, there are more cost-effective means, if not forgoing altogether. I looked at it like this: the Ford Performance, Air Raid filter is made with a cotton gauze, does not need oil and is washable. If keeping the car long-term, buying the filter seemed...

I'm attaching several threads you can bookmark for later, if you've not already done so. Along with that, staying plugged into the site here, to maintain awareness. Regarding insurance, you should be able to call or go on-line with your company and run hypotheticals. It'll give you the price...

Yes. I learned that a short time ago. Overseas folks, looking to confirm an actual chassis VIN for customs, will often have the carpeting cutback by one of the interior seats; the VIN is stamped there. It would seem it's the easiest place to check, versus removing body panels and checking...

FWIW, I took a look at mine; it looks exactly like yours. I consider them casting lines and flash. Pulling back to study the entire unit, I can see other lines as well. I haven't experienced any problems with loss of pressure or leaking fluid. One thing I do related to the tank's cap...I remove...

Chassis numbers are gifted at random and will not be the same as the VIN. On the line, the technician reaches into a tub of chassis plates, selects one and places it on the vehicle. IDK how many are in the tub at any time. As mentioned before, earlier cars in-general received lower chassis...

This was something to pay attention to in the S550. The insert was shaped differently and could only go in one way, but complete removal caused fuel trims to adjust towards their maximum. While it did produce the most power and would not throw a wrench light, there was no adjustment left...

The core modules of interest are the Body Control Module (BCM) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM). However, there are multiple sub modules (depending on the car build), some of which are referenced below. The BCM, PCM and sub modules can have their own firmware version. FDRS is what the Ford...
