Hey Taco, do you have a writeup for changing shocks/struts? Hint Hint
Thanks for all of the instructions. I still say you should sell them to the manufacturers.
Struts, yes. It's in the Steeda Ultralite write-up. After you remove the top bearing cap, that's it.. swap in your new struts.
Shocks, no. But, it looks way more easier than changing out the struts. In the same write-up, after you unbolt the lower shock mount bolt, all that's left is accessing the bolt up top, and out she goes!
As far as selling my write-ups, maybe one day. But, in the meantime, enjoy the freebies!

By the way, where are those rear window louvers you got from DG? I noticed they weren't on in the pics...
Once again, TacoBill ROCKS!! You make everything look easy, now I may have to get a scoop. I like that you have a red Mustang so I can see what my car would look like with your mods. You need to do a ducktail since that's on my short list.
(1) How long did it take you from start to finish?
(2) I love the look of the Shaker.. Was it worth the time, money and effort?
Hey Rusty!
Appearance wise, the Shaker and the stripes have the greatest visual impact on my car. Which is not always a good thing when a cop is nearby.
1. All in all, the install wasn't too difficult. Total time was around 10 hours (spread over 3 days). The only snag I came across was from the K&N CAI, but after some head scratching, a solution was found (thanks to the hump hose). If you have a stock intake, knock off at least 3 hours. Basically can be all done on a Saturday!
2. Yes!, Yes!, and most definitely YES!
I 've heard of shops charging anywhere between $200 - $400 to install this Shaker kit. If you're considering it, save a gang of money and do it yourself. And, I canjust aboutguarantee that your gaps will be more even compared to what a shopcan do.

Hey TacoBill,
I recently ordered my moleskin for my tint that I'm going to have done once my 'stang comes in. I just got the package earlier this week and saw that there are printed instructions that come with them.
So, I decide to flip through the print-outs, just to see what they have, and I notice the pictures they have are pretty familiar. I go back to your write-up and check...yup, they are your pictures! Too funny!
I guess you know you write good install documents when the company you get the products from is using your pictures, andship with their product.
Anyway, just wanted to point out that even people outside of MF are taking note of your awesome work.
Kyle
