Nice! What percent? I had 20% put on my 03 dsg mach literally a week before it got flooded lol

I got 25% on the drivers and passengers and 10% on the quarters and rear window. I tried to bribe the place to go lower but they wouldn't. Lol

Another update..

A little update: Pypes M80 mufflers welded in

Alright.. time to pick this thread up a bit...
I Haven't been able to do much to the mach since I moved due to several big purchases to get started in my own place, but now we are at a point where spending money on the stang is do able. My wife just got a job at Woodforest National Bank so that takes the stress of bills and lightens it significantly.

With that being said I am going to start piecing together suspension parts and install them all at one point.
But before that I just ordered these, to wrap up the exhaust for now.. I am going to have a shop weld them in and fix the pesky leaking x pipe..

So I had a question about detailing the mach... If it has never been detailed well where should I start. I mean buff, polish, wax.
What brands do yall recommend? What kind of buffer? Do I have to mask off the decals and emblems? I know I have to mask the plastic..

wash it really good then clay the shit out of it. maguires sells a nice clay. hard to say as far as buffing/polishing without seeing the paint close up.

those pipes are sick btw

Yeah. It had light swirls that I want to correct.

On a side note I ordered a replacement matte black hood decal. I like them to much to leave it without one..

Also some big news.... The 15th I am ordering my new rims! I am going with 18" staggered saleens. A long with h&r supersport springs and Sr cc plates. Glad to get that ball rolling on tadtfully modifying this thing!

On a side note I will have some parts for sale soon so I'll post them in this thread to Guage interest...

Oem mach 1 springs: these are stiffer and will give a slight drop.

Set of 18x9 cobra r rims. Black with chrome lip. 2 rims have bad curb rash and all 4 have flaking on the chrome. Pretty much need refinished. Name a fair price... haha.

I think it came out great for my first time doing a decal!
Rims and suspension bits coming soon!

Review: This is an american muscle brand decal, and after 8 months it looks brand new still, no fades or peeling edges.

H&r super sports. 95% sure.. do you other suggestions?

Super sports will work. If you can get your hands on a set of roush springs that'd be even better. that's what these are valved for.

Haha, those are actually cleaned up a little bit better than they were!
