TexasShelby Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Just got the Steeda (non logo) hood strut brackets (that one mod is worth it's weight in gold) and my strut tower brace back from the powder coater. Just got the GT500 "entirely" new scuff plates and sill inserts put in. (not going to ebay mine like some people are doing. when someone calls and wants advice on buying a used GT500, the first thing I'm going to tell them is, if it has the dash plaque and no sill plates...it's should $5000 off. ) Got a little Steeda bling going on. Rad cover, strut tower cover, strut bolt covers (what a rip off, but they look good) And the new painted mirror covers. Post some pics of your mods, if it's tires and wheels, be sure to state the wheel and tire size, and what springs you lowered with! Here's how I store OEM parts.

CobraCrazy Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 TexasShelby, Good ideas! I'm planning on getting the Steeda hood struts as well. Could you give me some detail about "the GT500 "entirely" new scuff plates and sill inserts?" Thanks CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I just got off the phone with Eibach and they said they will be offering a coil-over kit for the GT500 that has height adjustment and full shock adjustment with remote fluid. I was going to do the springs, but may wait for the coil-over system. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherri Leicht Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 TexasShelby, really like the white strut tower brace. thanks for a good dress up idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasShelby Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Could you post the scuff plate #'s here please. Thank you. Not a problem on the numbers... Left side is 5R3Z6313208CAC Right side is 5R3Z6313209CAC When you get them, they will be all plastic and have MUSTANG stamped where the new sill plates go. Be sure to wipe the area well with rubbing alcohol before installing the stainless plates. The old scuff plates just snap off and out, they have adhesive on the outboard portion...Keep the seal tape from the New plates adhesive strips to put on the OEM SVT adhesive, to keep it fresh and from sticking to anything. And you can use the they came in to seal up the old ones like I did in Post 1 of this thread. Hope this helps. MSMAP, I got that from Mr Grabber himself. I think he had his painted to match that sexy color he has...I really like it. I had the brace and the brackets for the hood strut mod powder coated, they did it in an "appliance" white and it's so close, I didn't worry with trying to match it exactly. Now I'm looking around the car wondering what else I can powder coat. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500HP GT Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Not counting the dash plaque (which I am not going to mention, at all, because some otherwise sane folks on here get downright medieval if you say "dash plaque," or "I got mine," or "hang in there," so I won't say anything about my really. cool. dash. plaque. The one signed by the man himself. Nice and straight. With my vin number on it. Ahem. Back to topic. Here is a snap of my one and only mod...(unfortunately, it's not a factory color!)

However you may have over paid, I read somewhere that Steeda and Roush were offering a simular package and could be a little less expensive. Question about the install, did you use a slip knot? Not sure a slip knot can handle the HP. And finally, have you experienced any wheel hop since installing this mod? DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500HP GT Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 NICE MOD.

Not sure a slip knot can handle the HP. And finally, have you experienced any wheel hop since installing this mod? DJ Yes, these were very significant considerations. At maximum torque, you really want to go with the stevedore knot on your air freshener. Wheel hop has been minimal. Just a lingering smell of vanilla upon launch. I love the smell of [vanilla?] in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
