    Dashcam install (heavy pics)

    Here is my procedure to install the Viofo A129 Duo front/rear dashcam. My Mustang also has this same exact setup, so I already knew for a year that I was satisfied with its performance, features, and reliability. The Viofo has a great Parking Mode in my opinion. There are several options just...

    Ford Performance Racing School

    Wife and I attended last Tuesday, Aug 4th in Asheville. It was terrific. My favorite event was the Panic Lane Change. I went into the chicance above 40mph on my first run, did not hit any cones, and stopped before crashing into the obstruction. Instructor said Good job, but back off a little...

    How to remove sun visor warning labels?

    It is better to just apply a matte black vinyl rectangle over them. Did so for my Mustang. The ST labels don't bother me as much, so I am putting them off for now. The Mustang forum has some threads about grief for those trying to remove them. They are stuck on hard. Penalties include...

    Blind Spot and Cross Traffic system stopped working

    Ours became intermittent last week just as we started on vacation for ST Experience day. It is now a permanent failure. Just returned from dealer, who ordered a module, and Yes he said they are back-ordered, and No he doesn't know for how long. We are at about 2500 miles on the odo.

    Missing Parts

    I hear ya. But I kinda like seeing the diff cover and bolts. I went back to page 1 to see a photo of the deflector. Seems like a felt sound isolator? Besides some aftermarket company will come out with a techno diffuser for under the bumper soon enough.

    Rebadge, Debadge or Leave it Stock , what is your preference?

    Yeah, we tried a darker piece, too, but then it was too dark. Hard to see the badge, and yet not fully blacked-out, so we went back to the 30-35% tint. Couple of weeks now and I'm still satisfied.

    Who plans on adding paint protection film?

    I just don't think you will need protection there. Order OEM parts at a good discount from Levittown or AutoNation Ford parts.

    Who plans on adding paint protection film?

    What do you mean by lower sides? I installed splash guards which will stop pebbles being thrown by the tires. BTW OEM splash guards were the easiest install ever.

    Which fuse #'s to use for dashcam?

    I will need 2 fuse taps actually. Do you recall what you used for a ground post? Do you run rear cam and if so did you route the cable through the hatch loom?

    Which fuse #'s to use for dashcam?

    Wondering what others' experience has been on which are best fuse choices for 12V power, and Switched Auxiliary power? Also I have yet to spot a ground lug nearby the interior fusebox.

    Factory dashcam

    Just bought my second Viofo A129 Duo. First one is in my Mustang. Great camera, affordable, simple & easy, phone playback, and terrific parking mode controls.

    Exhaust Noise Issues

    Mine had a horrible metal-on-metal rattling sound the day I drove it home. Determined it was outside, driver's side, in the very rear. Crawled under there to find 1/4" gap between the last exhaust hanger and the body. The bolt would not tighten. I worried that the body insert was stripped...

    Jacking procedure?

    What's everyone doing to jack up their car on stands? So much more hassle than my Mustang with jacking rails. I've tried jacking the pinch welds and supporting the front and rear sub frames. I don't prefer to support the pinch welds on stands. Here's a pic of a stand under the large bolt for...
