Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP!


  

Professor Wizard -> Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (12/7/2005 11:53:37 AM)

Most of the people are only interested in Performance Modifications because they like the GO FAST stuff... BUT – I for one am trying to build up my car for “Show” as well. So I have been searching the world for places to get “Stuff” to fix up my car and here are some of the results.

OF Course, I am telling you to check out the sponsers here for many of the fine products the offer FIRST. But if they don't have what your looking for here are some other places to look for those hard to find products!

Many thanks to those who have contributed to finding those special deals and items that you can use to set your car apart from the rest of the pack.

If you find something special, or a deal that is awesome for things you can find anywhere - Please post in this thread and I will edit/add to this main page.

Enjoy Customizing your Mustang...

Here is a place for Dash Kits. Not only is this the cheapest place to get the kits, BUT ALSO, on the Mustang kit they have, they cut out the word MUSTANG on the piece that goes over the glove box. Pretty cool! There are lots of things you can do with that by putting underlay behind it to make the letters stand out. They have a large variety of materials available. However, they will not “split” a kit so if you want to mix/match like I did, you have to buy two kits.

http://www.wooddashexperts.com/customer/home.php?cat=2354

You can order 2 samples for free from them to help you decide what material you want.

I purchased and installed Red/Black Carbon Fiber and a Real Aluminum kits from them for my car.

If you are looking for paint to paint your exterior add-ons... try these!

I bought paint from these guys… The color matched perfectly

http://www.etouchup.com/

GREAT for the DIY guy wanting to paint that body mod himself.

$35 to $40 with shipping (depending on where you live!) For 12 oz (enough to cover 6 square feet of area or a 2' x 3' area.

Includes can of Clear Coat. (Although it isn’t the TOP quality – I would upgrade!)

Does not include primer, but you really can use just about any primer.

Here are some more sources for paint.

Looking for that Vinyl Dye Spray to make the rear side panels match the front ones if you went with the RED Interior (For some stupid reason Ford decided to go cheap and not “red” the rear panels!).

I am even thinking of dying the armrest so the front seat flows all the way across like the rear.

Girls LOVE to get on my motorcycle - - but they somehow, inevitably, manage to scuff or scratch the gas tank while doing so.

Here is the product I use to remove the scuff, scratches and haze. (NO!.. I am NOT going to tell a HOT nearly naked girl she can’t sit on my bike!) ha ha ha

http://www.flitz.com

This stuff is amazing! I also use it to buff the gold/brown tint off of the chrome exhaust pipes where they exit the engine. It removes it completely without a trace and really shines up the chrome.

And YES… I do use it on my car all the time to remove scuffmarks and such from the paint, and also use it on my wheels.

You can find several cheap sources on the net. You can also run to your local Ace Hardware Store and pick some up at reasonable prices if you don’t want to have to “Wait” for it to arrive.

Another option I went with on my Mustang was the Ford Automatic Day/Night mirror with Homelink Garage Opener built in... The dealer will install.

Just click this link and search for mirror.
http://www.fordaccessoriesstore.com/fas/consumer/fas_ConsumerSearchResults.asp

it is cheaper without the Homelink and Temp options...

Here is a site that keeps adding things… Miscellaneous stuff.

http://www.cal-mustang.com

And another site that has those rare "Painted" Mirror Inserts to make your mirros match your Mustang!

For those of you thinking of adding some of your own chrome... like on the grill or Convert Top Surround... (I’m putting a chrome strip across the front bumper reminiscent of the 69 – 74 mustangs with that thin chrome bumper in the front!)

Here is one place I found with reasonable pricing as an option.

http://www.flexchrome.com/Products/extruded.htm

They measure in thousands of an inch… for those who aren’t good at math -
Here is a conversion Chart.

Getting tired of holding your hood up?

Ever knock that stupid Hood Support rod out of its hole and have the hood fall!

Ever have the little retainer clip break and then have your hood support rod flop around with every bump.

Try this!

http://www.redlinetuning.com/QL-FORD-MUS-05.html

They aren't cheap... but definitely better then the factory rod.

Are you wishing your headlights were brighter?

Here is a site with H13 (9008) Xenon Halogen Upgrade bulbs - made by Nokya (A good brand) in the Arctic White Series.

http://automotivelightingusa.com

Shipping is pretty inexpensive (around $5) and they also have the Nokya Arctic White H10 bulbs so GT owners can get matching fog lights.

So you don’t like the factory power outlet plug.

Try this one from Seeda

Plain Mustang Key Fob with lazered Mustang Logo...
http://1licenseplates.com/mustangchains.html

Get the same thing here.. but with your initials imblazed on them...
http://www.autoattire.com/keychainkeyfob.html

And it's sister site will let you order it with your initials on the fob as well and they have other options for fancy Mustang fobs...
http://www.cal-mustang.com/showdetl-7-7715-19-0.html

Here is a good old fashioned leather fob with a round Mustang tribar logo plate: (Cheap)
Also - while your in their site, look at the floor mat options... I purchased a cheap key fob and pulled the plastic Tribar Horse o

Here's a question for y'all.....where can I aquire a black honeycomb grille for the lower bumper to match the main grille? The easier to install, the better.


Professor Wizard -> RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (12/15/2005 9:18:16 AM)

Roland...

Unfortunately.... NOBODY makes THAT yet....

THERE is a perfect Business opportunity for ya!


NOok -> RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (12/15/2005 3:24:41 PM)

I sell front camber alignment kits for them on my site, and have them on my 05 as well to get the alignment right where I want it.

zanemoseley -> RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (2/8/2006 10:41:32 AM)

May I ask how hard it was to install the dash kit? I'm thinking of the real aluminum for my red GT. Which aluminum did you get? Do the panels feel like they're pretty well on.


Professor Wizard -> RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (2/8/2006 2:03:19 PM)

I got my dash kit from wooddashexperts.

I have some Real Aluminum.. and some Red/Black Carbon fibor.

Intall was easy, however teadious as it requires a bit of patience. don't try it if your overcooked on coffee!

I feel they look great!

They just stick on - - the entire back side is covered with 3M Sticky... and once they are on.. you are NOT going to get them off without totally destroying the dash!

zanemoseley -> RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (2/8/2006 2:30:45 PM)

Yeah I saw your pics from the car show, nice car. I like the mix of the red/black CF and the aluminum however I definatly can't afford to buy $400 of kits just to use half of it. 3M makes some sticky stuff, I just put on some aluminum trim on the rear tail lights and they're sticking well, it does the outline of the lights and the two lines between the lights. I'm probably gonna order some sample pieces, they won't give you 2 for free, its $5 for 4 samples but they'll refund you the $5 when/if you order a kit.

Do you know if the E brake handle can be replaced by an aftermarket one like a MOMO, they have some cool ones but I don't know if they'll fit a stang, one site I though said they would fit mustangs however others don't list them as compatible. Worst case scenario I could go with the billet aluminum e brake slip on I've seen on ebay for like $60.


zanemoseley -> RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (2/17/2006 7:20:51 PM)

Professor, do you know anything about the ebrake question I put above?


MikeFromMass -> RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (2/19/2006 7:57:00 PM)

Just received my "Chrome Trim Kit" from a seller on ebay called "e_seller05"

BUYER BEWARE ON THIS ONE.......

The picture looks great, but what you will receive is a package containing flat chrome stick-on moulding. You have to figure out how to make it curve around while still staying flat and HOPE it comes out like the picture. He didn't even include alcohol wipes to clean before you stick.

PLUS, there's a note in the package letting you know that if you leave bad feedback you can expect to be flamed..."If I receive bad feedback, you can expect the same in return"

SO...if you WANT flat moulding, then by all means buy this item, but if you're like me and expected a pre-made item then don't waste your $30.00 on this stuff, just go to the local detail shop and buy it by the foot!

Hope this helps someone!


zanemoseley -> RE: Where to get NON PERFORMANCE Items for your 05' and UP! (2/19/2006 10:01:46 PM)

MikefromMass, I too got the same kit from the same seller as you and it is a little crappy about the bad feedback deal but I read in some feedback that if you mess up a light he'll send you more free of charge so he's pretty much just saying he wants to make it right before you giving him bad feedback but I agree he could have worded it better. The trim is a little challanging to put on but came out great for me but its only been on 3 weeks so we'll see, it is 3m adhesive though. The corners are the hardest, I found it best to just go around ther corners tight and then lay down the next 4 inches or so of straight molding, the corner will pop up but you can go back and push it down hard and it should be good to go from there. Its much harder to get the corner to stick before laying down the next part of flat. It isn't the easiest kit but it is definatley the cheapest.

Thanks for this post. Now I can just give my wife the link so she knows where to go to get me presents.

Our anniversary is next month. [:)]
