Most mustang owners would have the heavy flow maxi pads in their garage already

Everywhere I look says this is for 08-10. There should be no difference for a 14 correct? Or am I missing something?

I made acrylic windows in the vents since I used to daily the car and the supercharger has a large exposed air filter.


I have the same hood on my is but we can't get it to latch on to close , it will close but not completely , did you have those issues ?if so how did you get it solved thanks

Theres threaded bumpers that you can adjust that stick through the tray in front of the engine. You can raise or lower each to get the hood to sit lower or higher. Sounds like you need to scream them down more so it catches.

Anyone here actually weigh theirs vs. stock? Also, can this be fitted/installed fairly easily (besides painting of course), or would I need to pay a body shop? Finally, now that several folks here have had a couple years on theirs, how has the finish/durability been over time? Thanks!

I was the first one on the forum whom got one. As good as the day installed. Did not weigh it, but I read it is only 9 lbs lighter than stock because the stock one is made out of aluminum.

The carbon one is definitely lighter. I had no issues with mine upon installation and within the time I had it.

Contact us for one!

I have trunk and hood and they are track tested to 140 plus! The trunk is a larger weight savings verse oem since its steel verse carbon/fiberglass. I would guess that between the two Im savings close to 25 lbs.

Got a 2 week wait for the replacement (being shipped over from the States!).

Guy admitted it was his mistake though, so no real harm done.

How much do you guys pay roughly for paint? Will get the majority of mine done in SGM to tone it down slightly.

Thanks for this picture. Gives me a good idea of how mine should turn out.
what's the name of that front bumper lip fam?
