Anyone done brakes (pads +/- rotors) on the base GT brakes? Hoping to gather info (like official torque specs) since it's a regular maintenance item, but there aren't any Youtube tutorials with detailed info yet. I partially disassembled my brakes to paint the calipers, and here are some things...

Anyone know the part number for this spoiler? It's the "pedestal spoiler" that came w/Nite Pony Package (maybe only on Ecoboosts?). I like the clean, minimalist, low-poly look and think it matches S650 better than the more extravagant spoilers online

Not just condensation, actual water stains. Brand new 2026, drove through a rainstorm in the Midwest en route to California after buying the car on the East Coast. These are on the inside of the housing, even on the ridged black plastic material inside the headlight. The other headlight...

It's possible, and can be done in 45 minutes if you're fast. I want to avoid removing the bumper unless absolutely necessary to minimize the work, avoid messing anything up, avoid scratching bumper corners where they meet the fenders, or wear out the plastic brackets/hardware, etc. You don't...

I noticed a different FORScan behavior on my new '26 Mustang and am wondering if other '26 owners notice the same thing: the BCM resets itself each time you pull it up in FORScan. This is even without making changes. The car will make the Ford chime sound (ba-dum-dum) and the max brightness...

Barely visible hints of rust on the bottom of frame rails/pinch welds--should I even care? Dealers lift these cars (during PDI?) on the frame rails in front of the official lift points. This is what I've deduced from 3 new S650s I purchased, all different dealers. One had a plastic rocker front...

The DH steering wheel comes with adaptive cruise buttons, and my base model does not have this feature. Can I use the DH steering wheel anyway, without swapping buttons and just let the adaptive cruise buttons remain non-functional? Or will that cause issues, meaning I have to swap over my...

Hope this helps someone in the future who might land on this from the Google. Both wiper nozzles wouldn't spray. Pump audible, no visible leak at tank or in engine compartment. Fix: remove hood liner (pop out Christmas tree pins with trim removal tool). Then activate the wiper fluid, observe...

Metallic tapping for a few seconds, then gone. Happens rarely, after an auto-stop-start. Never noticed it on a true cold start (like in the morning). I'm guessing lifter tick. Checked oil level: full. Brand new car so should not be aged timing components or anything like that. Is this normal...

So far, people have been adding paddle shifters by buying a whole Dark Horse/GT wheel, either hoping to match your trim/features (+/- adaptive cruise), or switching over the buttons if mismatched. However, I wonder it's possible to buy just the paddle shifter assemblies themselves + the...

2024 with more than double the miles is worth $4,000 more than an identical 2025? Not based on a specific VIN, so it's not due to options, or collision history, or anything like that. I got these values by entering model, year, make, and options (just auto transmission and white color). Can...

Did my first oil change, ~8800 miles. Noticed oil hanging on the bottom of the oil filter housing lip and some evidence it dripped onto a line nearby, maybe a small splotch on the felt undertray. Never any dash lights or error codes so far, no drips on the garage floor. I'd estimate total oil...

Square pop-up "Engineering mode" popped up on the dash momentarily on startup today. But another startup message soon superceded it and the Engineering mode message did not persist, so I couldn't grab a pic. Anyone ever had this before? It's been raining here, and with all the water leak issues...

Noticed this on both rear quarter windows. The rubber on the outside edge of the rear windows is separating, not completely and not fully all-around. Anyone else have this? Maybe it doesn't pose a significant leak risk since the windows are sealed on via a ring of windshield glue on the...

Someone lightly clipped my passenger front, hitting the passenger fender and some contact with passenger side of the bumper. Bumper may be able to be polished out. I want to be as minimally invasive as possible and haven't had good experiences with body shops doing proper work in the past. So...

1800 miles, no mods, not abused. Mild 1st gear pull (without any loss of traction that I could tell), didn't even approach redline. LOUD POP! (can't tell if exhaust vs engine vs electrical), engine loses power, gas pedal does not respond, engine makes sputtering/bubbering noises (misfiring?)...

One rear brake caliper is missing that shiny silver finish the other one has. I've never had a brand new car caliper look like this. Never been on salted roads, etc. What is that white stuff is and how do I get rid of it? Or is it oxidation and thus the surface is already screwed? Rubbing...

Lifted for the first time today and noticed some peeling/flaking of the paint underneath the frame rails. Wasn't me lifting from there, I've never contacted those areas before. One section even has a little rust! Only ~350 miles on the car, manufactured April '25, purchased May '25, only driven...

Base Mustang passenger seats don't even have manual height adjustment. Is there a seat bottom part I can buy to add the pump handle for raising the passenger seat?

How does active exhaust full loud (track mode/locked open/fuse-pulled) compare to a muffler delete? Had a Camaro with active exhaust and it seemed to be basically a variable muffler delete. I pulled the fuse to make it perma-open for the entire 4 years I owned it, so got no value out of the...
