What? We're talking rubber car mats vs regular carpet car mats. Not bare carpet.

It's ok Cage, I like the carpet also. When my current mat gets hosed up i'll just buy another carpet one. I don't really see why there's any discussion beyond that.

I will have a weather tech mat under my coffin.

They've been phenomenal in all vehicles I've owned. Living somewhere with slushy, mucky seasons, grit-filled roads and a decent amount of time spent in the woods, they've saved the floors from so much water and filth.

Weathertech for life yo! I've had them in my last 3 or 4 Cherokees, and the mustang. I had huskyliners in the ST, and they for really well. I don't like the gap at the back of these ones though.

Has anyone added premium care to a mustang? It seems like cheap prepaid service for a car that will need it. From a sketchy internet dealer of course after purchase. Don't the radios in these break every time?

By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


I have the "lifetime" warranty on my Challenger and a year and 12k miles in not a problem. Manufacturing tolerances are much tighter now which allows these warranties to be offered without to much worry you will lose your shirt.

Of course if some thing like the uconnect unit goes it will be worth it :v:

Worse case it covers brakes when they break. I just feel confident the ford performance enhanced ecoboost will poo poo the bed within 8 years 100k miles of me driving it. People seem to get rid of them with low miles and I am just the ahole to buy one.

The warranty is $1,400.

They are some aftermarket HALOs that look hella cool, and I have HID's in them, too. The halo turns on as soon as I put my key in my car, so I got a nice insurance discount plus it makes it safer to have something on. And it looks dope. The corner light is also a switchback LED! It is a white running light, and blinks in amber when blinker is engaged.

I too put on aftermarket HIDs with halo parking lights, about a year ago:






The lenses aren't really tinted, it's just the hood overhang shading them.

I like the nice cutoff at the top of the beams even thought it was a pain getting it adjusted correctly. The bolt to adjust the starboard passenger side one is basically under some A/C piping so I had to use some insane flexible wrench extender that kinda sucked rear end: http://amzn.to/2sdP8nn

130k miles, still going strong.

Did a brake upgrade (SVT Brembo upgrade kit), *drat* the new brakes are fantastic.

Suspension refresh coming in, going to an all-BMR setup (K-member/A-Arms first, followed by Watts Link after, Koni level 3 package for springs/dampers).

After it handles good, then it's time to check on the state of things in the engine in preparation for adding more power. Depending on how bad/good it is I may or may not be considering a Coyote swap.

Well you have been driving a v8 with the power of a 6 cylinder so you just need one more step.

I had a 2011 before this; I'm aware of what the Coyote has on offer. This was the more financially-compatible 8-cylinder for me after the 2011 was destroyed. I'll eventually be back up in power, but I don't think I could ever get used to the sound of anything lower than 8 cylinders, unless it was stupidly fast to compensate (and the ecocrap 4cyl doesn't count).

Stock for stock, aren't 3v GT's of that era still faster than new Ecoboosts?
