I'm thinking of just printing another piece of plastic in the shape of Dickbutt and sticking it over the existing cutout. So Dickbutt will wind up being a smaller projected image than the pony but it should still work, if I can print such a small piece at a decent resolution.

I went with the Mishimoto catback and I'm very pleased with the sound. I don't know how they did it but they somehow made a turbo 4cyl sound deep and mean. When cruising it's barely noticeable inside the cabin, but when you step on it you know it's there. The shop did have some trouble getting it on though - the hangers and outlets hardly lined up at all. I don't know if I just got a lovely unit or what, but they were able to sort it out.

I have the MBRP exhaust(which also fit pretty poorly) and have been told my car sounds like a SR20. When I put my downpipe on I installed a resonator and I think it helped the sound level stay reasonable. Really I notice the intake/turbo noise over the exhaust anyway.

The local dealership has a '16 GT with 4600 miles I'm thinking about trading my Focus ST on. They're asking 28.9 which I don't think is a bad price, but I haven't really looked for other cars to compare it to. What do you guys think?

Is it a premium? PP? 28.9 Seems high if it doesn't have options.

I'd have considered that price for a non-Premium if it had the PP and cloth Recaros. But that's too much money for that car.

What would be a good price for that, and how do I get the sales manager to give it to me for that. I'm actually glad it doesn't have recaros because I don't fit in them, I test drove an ST2 car before I got mine that had them and quickly said gently caress that.

Factory MSRP was $34,165. Thats a decent discount, but I'd want a bit more off. You could probably get a new identical one for $31k, so with 5k miles on it....

Take your other car to carmax and get a floor trade in value. Test drive the ford and have them give you a trade in dollar amount on the fiesta. When you get back say you are interested but want the keys to your other car back first before you make an offer. Get your keys, write down the terms you are willing to pay and your phone number and leave. Do not wait around for a response. I have never gotten the best price without leaving.

Thanks. I found another car with 1k more miles for 2600 less, I'm gonna try to use that to get a better deal on the blue one. I just love that blue with the silver stripes, sexy as frig.

Anyone have a guide on removing the aluminum dash trim on the s550? The dealer used some kind of cleaner that etched the driver's side a bit so I want to remove all four pieces and polish them up.

I haven't actually pulled the largest piece but as far as I can tell they are all held in by clips and just pull right out. I've removed the smaller pieces next to the wheel and they popped right out with no hassle.

I've removed the smaller pieces next to the wheel and they popped right out with no hassle. I thought so, but paused when the headlight switch piece had a screw holding it down. Looking around some forum posts it does look like the passenger side pieces are indeed just clipped in though, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I just remembered I've got an MGW shifter for my TR-6060 that I bought forever ago that I was holding off on installing in case I got some of the dreaded TR-6060 grinds. My powertrain warranty expired nine months ago so I want to install it this weekend but I also don't want to lay on cold rear end concrete for hours so I'll probably wait for it to warm up a bit.

I really wanted to pick up a MGW shifter when I first got my car because I assumed I had the stock shifter. Turns out I didnt, I have some other short throw shifter so I just kind of went on to the next upgrade. It works fine, but reverse is hard to get into sometimes, and very rarely will it get caught up going from 2-3 but its good enough. Still want to try one out sometime though because I hear MGW is the best.

I want to get Steeda or MGW shifter for my car as well. The 2 to 3 shift can be real annoying under power. Stock shifter moves around too much. That's really my only issue with the MT82 at this point and it's mostly Ford's fault anyway.

I was bored at work tonight so I checked X-plan pricing on a new GT. If I can't get them to knock a few grand off the used 16 I linked earlier I may just buy a new one. E: Welp, looks like daddys getting a 17 Impact Blue GT with the GT performance package(WTF NO SPOILER?!?!?!?!?). Are the silver stripes a dealer installed option, or are they from the factory? fps_bill fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Feb 26, 2017 |

Yeah my bad, it's lightning blue. While we're on the topic of colors wtf no more guard green? I was seriously thinking about going Steve McQueen style till I saw they dropped that color.

Achievement unlocked: didn't brick the ECU. Swapped plugs, installed intake/filter, changed oil and installed the Cobb stage 1 tune. I also used the taller PL20195 oil filter which still fit nicely and has enough space to work the wrench if needed. ETS intercooler comes in mid next week, and once that's installed I can start datalogging for the custom tune. I also sent a sample of the oil into Blackstone Labs to get a report. Mostly interested in seeing how close the "remaining oil life" gauge lines up with reality.

Radar detector update, if anyone cares. Had my eye on the passport 9500ci integrated system. 3 problems with that:
Now all I need to do is find an installer who can hook it up to a switched power source. The guy who did my dash cam install insists that there are no switched power sources on the mustang, and I am not knowledgeable enough to say otherwise - although I find it very difficult to believe. As a result, I have to manually turn on and off the dash cam, and I don't want to do that with the valentine (and I'd like to get the cam fixed as well).

Definitely hard to believe. Even if the cig lighter sockets are hot all the time, there's almost certainly another one that is actually switched. My 9500ix is wired to the auto-dimming mirror which works perfectly, used a mirrortap so I didn't have to alter any wiring at all. Check here for your specific model and get one long enough to tuck under the headliner and run over to the visor. I've got the mirrormount too but I might switch to a visor mount for the (arguably dumb) reason that the mirrormount interferes with putting a sunshade in the front window unless I move it down, and if I do that every time I get out of the car I'll have to keep re-tightening it which is a pain. If you're not on there already, the place where all of the radar detector super-spergs hang out is rdforum.org. You'll be able to find out pretty much anything you want to know about detectors/installation/etc there. H2SO4 fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Feb 27, 2017 |

Is the inability to use a sunshade the only reason to not use a mirror mount? I have a passport max that I had hardwired with the sticky cup mount above my mirror in my ST. In the middle of summer I'd always come out to to the detector laying on my seat, floor, or between the seat and center console.
