    Hood Quesiton

    Where would one go to get an OEM hood, or the Shelby 1000 hood, that is factory painted with stripes installed? I unfortunately hit something that put a wrinkle and knocked some paint off in the corner of my hood :(

    Change Of Plugs ?

    speaking of spark plugs, what is the recommended shelf life of them? I have a set of TR7IX that I got from someone who sold their GT500 and they are brand new in the box, only 3 years old. I googled online and it would seem fine to use them, but would like to know GT500 owner's opinions as well.

    2013 owners with 6 years of ownership, step on in. ( 14's with 5 also )

    Best Street brake pads

    Porterfield Racing R4S brake pads. These have very very low dust as well and are noticeably touchier as far as braking than with the stock pads. A little more costly than the others mentioned in the thread, but figured I'd give my .02 cents

    Paint touch up

    I like them a lot. They hook and go for me. Brand new they held 1st decent. But have held 2nd gear every time. Stock rears wouldn't do that.

    Paint touch up

    So I ended up doing something stupid and need some advice. I replaced my air filter and got tired of this little tab on the inside of the fender tearing into the front of my filter so I bent the tab down. This tab held the hood latch line by a clip on it. I moved the clip up to the next hole...

    I just replaced my OEM brakes with the Porterfield RS4 brakes from Van. Tightened everything up and took her out for a 20 minutes cruise. This was easy driving with one hard 3rd-4th gear pull with moderate to heavy braking (done within the 1st 5 minutes) to make sure everything was good. As far...
