Having that kind of knowledge must be so nice. I had a small problem today that costed me 90 minutes of my time and soooo much stress.
You have your cars looking so amazing and running just like they look; awesome.

2 new mods on the way. Should be here by next Monday or Tuesday.

Pic's will be in order on these 2 interior mods.

Hint: It looks factory and very clean and is very functional. So far I have only seen one of these in a GT500. Once I saw it....I had to have it, and Tana said "I need that too !" :hysterical:

Got Tana's new mod installed.

That is a really slick mounting system. Very nice. How do you like all the other mods Rob installed? Exhaust sound? The cars are beautiful.

Three (3) mods will be installed on Tana's car for Mothers day. :wub:

1. 3M clear bra - Appointment set up for 5/8 (will be using my $200 off coupon that I won at a car show last year)
2. Clutch Drag TSB 10-3-8. 2010 Clutch, flywheel, lube, pilot bearing, Clutch Slave cylinder and new bolts. All parts ordered today and are 3-4 days out.
3. Ford Racing GT500 6-Speed short throw shifter. Ordered today and is 3-4 days out. (this will be installed during the TSB work)

Tana's 3 year warranty is up in a couple weeks so I was very happy to get the TSB approved by my dealership. Posted Image

LOVE the sound very happy with choice of KR mufflers-The "Fuzz buster" gives me a little room for comfort in opening her up once in a while. We had our first drive together a couple of weeks back, (first time with all my mods) and it was Sweeeeet!
Hope all is well with you and yours.

Although not excited about my car under going some surgery you made the thought of it easier by ordering me the short throw shifter to be installed while it was opened up. I'm one lucky "wifey" :wub:

Tana has a new a new 3M Clear Bra on her GT500. The installer is in Vancouver WA and I would recommend him. He did a great job. Did the front bumper, all the lights, fender fronts, door cups and door edges, pillars next to windshield and the bottom door entry sill area.
