Mine just got delivered yesterday. Any tips on installation? Heard I should warm up the brake pedal in warm water to make it fit easier?
warm / soapy water definitely helps with the brake pedal one. Start to slip it in from the top. Work your way down with both sides (open up both sides flaps together and push it down from top to bottom). Trim pry tool might help as well. Once three sides are fitted properly, there is a flap at the bottom, pull it and open up the bottom flap to fix the last side.

Too much force and the front panel will start to come separated from the rubber bottom.

I simply used a flat screwdriver pulled on the rubber tab and it popped right on - the gas pedal is a no brainer

Man, I wouldn't replace all 'cause one is hurt. How much tread is left on the other three?
I have 5/32" on the other 3. I ended up finding a used Pirelli scorpion zero with 5/32" remaining . Hopefully it works

20230407_190509.jpg 20230407_192050.jpg I know a couple of owners have posted that they changed the center caps on their rims.
I have the street package 21 inch wheels and just changed to Ford Performance 2 1/8 center caps normally for Mustangs .
Definitely like the new look . I popped the old caps off with a old light bulb suction cup like others suggested . I do not know if I can mention in this post that I got them from a site called American Muscle . I do not know if they offer open box all the time ...but I brought all 4 caps open box for half price .
They sent two still sealed and two open ...my come up . 20230407_190042.jpg 20230407_190247.jpg

Yeah, quite a number of interchangeable ST/Mustang accessory parts, which is good for both ST and Mustang owners. And no reason that you can not mention American Muscle as they are definitely a solid, real-deal, Ford accessory vendor.

I’m all about finally getting a good hand wash in tomorrow. This weather has been ridiculous.
Also got the rear camber adjusted and what a difference. Still want to go a little wider but thank you for the advice!! I’m on H&R so 305 should fit correct?

After owning an ex Austin PD crown vic that had door jam reflectors i never knew why this isnt a factory standard any more. I happen to have some 3m reflective that perfectly matches Star White. Its completely invisible during the day.

It blends so perfect during the day I added a scuff strip since I'm constantly throwing luggage in the back for work travel. It even hid the few dings from the previous owner

I had a really bad experience with them. Purchased the guards for two diff vehicles. Strung me along for months and never sent. Eventually sent one set for the st. They are generic and not st specific and are more for the cf look on the vehicle. I would recommend to stay clear of them.

You’re gonna love those over the Scorpions imo. Just put a set of 295/40r22’s on mine a couple months ago. Better dry performance and light years better in wet and snow!
