New Mustang GT convertible

**Coatingsarecrack** · 07-10-2019, 12:49 AM

My 2016. I ceramic coated it and was pretty simple.

The ragtopp brush a must have and cleaned well w/o being to aggressive and pulling up the top. The Griots cleaner worked really well but I’ve tried the meguiars and it’s good too.

Used this to coat in early March. Still beads strong. I’d recommend this or carpros version. After reading TONS of reviews on a all these have been happy after useage. Sweet ride.... by the way. Any Mods planned or run her stock?

Wow man, yours looks fantastic! The all black gives it that Vader look. Sinister. I like it!

I've spent time over at American Muscle and CJ Pony parts looking at all sorts of mods. I thought I might get Steeda springs or some Shelby wheels. But seeing the car in real life makes me want to keep it stock for now. I'm liking the look and stance from the factory. There some minor mods I'll do; tint, smartTOP module (to be able to put the top down when going more than 3mph), hood struts, and a set of winter wheels and tires. She's my daily driver so I need a real winter set up this year.

I can't see needing any speed mods - this things is fast enough for daily driving to get into trouble real quick!

Thanks for the info on sealing the top. I'm going to try the 303 sealant first and see how that goes. I'm impressed that the top is beading from the factory, but I plan on sealing it later this summer or early fall. CarPro looks like a good idea and I may see how 303 holds up this winter, then try CarPro next spring.

What mods do you have on yours? Looks like tint, wheels, and springs?

Yeah was going to go the 303 but when using I masked off rest of car as I heard convertible sealants can adhear to paint so was looking for longest lasting. If wasn’t in the NW would of used 303 heard nothing but good things. Make sure when reading recommendations for your top to be aware of poster’s environment as that can make big difference in performance of products.

STAY AWAY FROM CJ’s and American muscle! Just like detailing parts get addicting!

Mods:

Steeda H pipe with Roushe axle backs.

Airaid Cold air intake.

Blacked out FPP badges

Diode dynamics sm

Purchased but not installed yet:

RTR side rocker splitter

CPC front chin splitter

Lund Ngage tuner

Mishimoto catch can

Mishimoto aluminum expansion tank

Mishimoto radiator hoses (blue).

Misc blue and aluminum engine dress up parts.

All but the shocks will go on soon.

Glad you’re healed up from the

life’s ruffles. And back on AGO.

Prayers are still being sent...
