    roof mount antenna

    No problems with either of my shark fins. I had one for 3 years on my red G8. No fading of the paint, no deterioration of the foam adhesive. If you're worried about a 110% paint match, I wouldnt. Who is going to get on a step stool and look at teh difference in the paint from an inch away? I...

    Anyone have cold air, tune, and exhaust?

    Just wondering what the actual gains were from a cold air kit, that Magnaflow catback and a tune? The stock mufflers are straight through i noticed, so it doesnt look like its very restricted.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    I'm on a lot of the mustang facebook groups because I work at Late Model Restoration and was on some of the G8 forums and facebook groups.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Very nice quality, I have one for my 2006 mustang GT also. They run about $50, but last forever. Seeing that the 2016 is different, you'll probably have to go to their website directly. If my G8 was a GXP, I probably would still have it and not traded it in on the explorer LOL

    2012 Electrical Issues

    Yep, its a shame. My '99 Lightning had the stock battery in it for almost 11 years. After i replaced it in 2009, its had 2 batteries since then. Excide batteries makes the battteries for Motorcraft by the way.

    2012 Electrical Issues

    Took it to Ford and had it load tested. The battery was the factory battery (now 3 years old). And it was bad. We'll see what happens next. From my experience with many vehicles, batteries now do not last long like they used to 8-10 years ago.

    2012 Electrical Issues

    Ive had it for about a month now and has been driving perfect. Car sat for 3 days and it cranked right up to move it in the driveway to wash it. Washed the car, went to start up and just a bunch of clicking like the battery is dead. Put the volt meter on, 10.5 volts. Put a battery charger on it...

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    Installed my VG sharkfin antenna and CoverCraft sunshade last night. This is my second antenna from VG. I had one for a Pontiac G8 before this and color was spot on as well. Awesome product. LED puddle lights coming next.

    What did you do to your 5th Gen?

    In the past week I added the full 3rd row Ford all weather mat and a K&N filter only replacement. I also took the time to clean out all the oil that was in the inlet tube between the airbox and the throttle body.

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    I took my complete air box and inlet tube off last night and there was a lot of oil in the inlet tube. I'm very familiar with this as I'm in the Mustang and Lightning community. There is TONS of blowby with these 3.5's just like all the 4.6 Mustangs. This is most of the cause of people smelling...

    Want to lower the 2012 XLT

    Looking at he H&R springs for the explorer. If you have personally installed these and had the vehicle successfully aligned, please let me know what camber bolts you bought or how you got it aligned. ALSO, your honest opinion on the ride quality. I love the way the vehicle rides now and can...
