So a_lopez1975, are those all upgrades you wish you had, or are planning to buy? Those that are in your signature?

Your dealer told you that they would void the warranty with a cold air kit?

Those are all the modifications I bought during this deployment (the hardest part was convincing to wife to purchase them and she had to pick them all up at my APO address, LOL). They are all sitting in the garage with my car, so when I get back, I will install them (after driving the stang for a few hours while stock first).

As stated, this is my first mustang and never driven a mustang before. So we will see how all goes

Mine did, although from what i gathered doing some research on the forum, i guess its all dealer dependent. The one where I'm currently stationed was adamant that i NOT do anything to the car or they wouldn't warranty anything

Has anyone who has had these for several months noticed any issues with rust, cracks or bad welds? I just read a huge thread on a different mustang forum about it and there are dozens of people with this problem. I have had mine for several months, I will be checking them out tomorrow morning. Hopefully mine don't have the problem cause I love them but there seems to be a problem with a bad batch.

I havent noticed anything, in fact the fit and finish seemed spot on. But i will keep my eyes open for anything unusual

The Stang that I purchased, came with some type of rusts proof thingy (sorry, don't know the correct terminology for it). It was a like an extra $500...Hopefully that helps me out...

I ordered a pair of roush axlebacks last tuesday from jdm engineering which drop ships straight from roush to me and they have not shipped. I ordered them last tuesday so mabe they are trying to fix the rust issue? I called them and they said they were in stock..

JDM says that roush just hasn't shipped yet and im not sure why.
