r/S197Stangs

Took my dads 07 GT to get tires put on for him about 45min one way and coming from a 03 GT new edge owner, this car got me thinking about things you know? lol. Just the interior quality improvement makes me want one and the mods he has made me really change my mind about the bodystyle (always preferred new edges now I’m 50/50).

Our cars are very similar suspension and handling wise, everything you can do done to both. His is noticeable quicker with same mods. Kinda got me wanting to make poor financial decisions and own 2 mustangs😂

About to do a cluster swap on my 11 Gt but the milage on the donor cluster is 165,564 and mine has 72,356 how do i roll back the mileage to match the car’s actual milage? I have forscan

I own a 2010 gt and the previous owner installed a hurst short throw shifter, it shifts great, but i dont like the look of it. I know its a muscle car thing but the thin look of the stick doesnt look good to me, and i think the subaru style shifter looks a lot better, i also dont like the big gap between the boot and the knob. Are there any reccomendations for other sticks or am i out of luck, i havent been able to find any good ones. The first picture is what i have and the second picture is the look i want. I understand it might not be possible because of the layout but im just wondering whats out there.

My current build is a 2009 mustang gt with a built motor and turbo cams planning on twins for around 900-1000wheel eventually. I am close to being finished with my built motor and I am now trying to get setup with a standalone ecu (haltech elite 2500 is my current choice unless I am convinced otherwise). Does anyone know any good tuners for haltech near DFW preferably? I’m in Longview Texas specifically for a distance reference. I would definitely prefer someone close to me rather than full remote due to this being my first standalone car not knowing what to expect.

I saw a video of someone replacing their 05-09 mirrors with 2010-2014 ones, and thought I could do it as well. I’m really happy with how they turned out!

It did require a bit of drilling though, and it wasn’t the easiest thing I’ve done as measuring turned out to be a little difficult. The mirrors cost me 150€ from ebay and paint (plastic primer, matching base and 2k clear coat) was 60€, totaling about 210€ (= $246).

There’s still a tiny gap between the upper part of the assembly and the car, and I’m gonna be looking for solutions for that. All in all I think it’s a decent upgrade, don’t you think?

Hey everyone,

I just picked up a Satin Silver 05 GT that I absolutely love. My only complaint with these cars has been the interior. They leave a bit to be desired in my opinion. I owned an 07 v6 for the last decade and just upgraded. With that being said, I want to give this thing a little facelift and would love some ideas and possibly pictures of what you guys have done.

My interior is all silver and cloth. I sourced heated black leather front seats and black leather rears in good condition already. I want to ultimately swap the grip panels or paint them, do the headliner & carpet over in black. Any other suggestions? Anyone have experience with painting these trim panels? The guy I bought the seats from has a totaled 05 with a blacked out interior. I’m thinking about offering cash for his door panels, carpet, etc but I feel like painting mine might be easier than fully swapping. Any thoughts or advice other than “don’t do it” would be appreciated 😁

is this a good price for the mileage? car looks to be pristine condition no visible damage, not sure about title or previous owners tho

Have not posted in a bit but sharing some photos from my camera roll from paste few months! I hope everyone’s been enjoying Spring so far and being safe!

Any ideas? The car has 80k miles.

74k on it when I got it, just rolled 91k on Saturday. Currently needing dent repair from hail amongst some other minor things. Pic is from the day I picked it up!
