After owning a bunch of different mustangs over the years and several different variants of the current platform (12,13 boss, auto 13 gt, manual 13 gt) finally pulled the trigger on a gt500. Traded in my grabber blue 13 gt on this 2010 grabber blue gt500. It is a one owner car with 6500 miles on it. Totally stock when purchased. Had a bunch of problems with the manual gt's/boss and had the motor replaced under warranty on the blue gt I traded in. So hoping to avoid the issues with the 5.0's with the gt500. After only driving a few miles I will say that the 6060 is so much better than the MT82 in the gt's!
gt I traded in
day I picked up the new car
under hood when picked up
Car was in good shape, but paint was a little swirled. Had the car tinted and tinted all lights
rear brakes were dingy, so decided to paint them as well as clean up wheels, fender wells and front brakes and added black lug nuts
after
Changed out the stock mufflers for some borla S types and MMD rear tail light trim, shorty antenna
next up was the suspension. Went with some eibach pro kit springs
stock height
lowered
Then started removing the factory stripes, which was a pain. Decided to remove all the badges (for painting) and hood vent.
Badging being plastic dipped
Then had professional detailer do some paint correction as well as the badges being filled in grabber blue
Then some underhood and interior attention. The white stripes in the seats were dirty, so treated them with zanio leather cleaner
before
50/50
all clean
Added strut tower brace, JLT catch cans filled in grabber blue, JLT Carbon fiber intake tube, battery/brake covers, trucarbon fuse box with snake, blue filter and moved the ugly white harness that was on the passenger side strut tower.
Have some trucarbon exterior pieces waiting to go on, and a few other little under hood touches and they will be shopping for some wheels. Thanks for reading!
