How do the Magnaflows sound??

Wow... looks great! I love that you removed the CS stripes. Those wheels look sweet too! The more I see the new 5.0 the more I want to upgrade. Very nice ride!

SkyStang06 07-30-2010 03:15 AM

lookin good my friend, love what you've done!

cidsamuth 07-30-2010 03:37 PM

I love the CS rims, but always hated the stripe. Nice change.

One thing: In your picture, your exhaust tips seem to be too high . . . even touching the rear fascia. I would recommend loosening them at the axle-back location and adjusting them down so they don't melt the plastic.

2011CS/GT 07-30-2010 06:15 PM

Waz what did you use to get the CS/GT Stripe Off? Also did you just go buy the badges from the delaership? I love the clean look. Congrats!

How difficult is is to install those type quarter window louvers? Or more importantly, how much do you think a shop would charge to install them? And do they come painted?

2011CS/GT 07-30-2010 07:09 PM

Cali I know the one's from Ford are around $370 painted and installed. At least that is what I was quoted. Never seen them tho so his might be a different kind.

The advzntage of the GT/CS is that there are not holes in the flanks under the 5.0 badge. Mine would be already gone...

I'd also like to know how you got the side stripes off?
Any issues (scratching, clearcoat damage, etc)?
Difficult or easy to remove?

Its easy. Take a heat gun or hairdryer, get one corner up and peel them right off. Takes 2 minutes... No damage underneath at all.

Driver72 07-31-2010 06:54 PM

Great thanks.

eightdogsbarkin 07-31-2010 10:00 PM

I really think it looked better stock.

Soldier GT 07-31-2010 10:13 PM

nice man...

2011CS/GT 08-01-2010 06:18 PM

I love the clean look of no stripe, but still can't bring myself to peel it off. It is the one thing that makes the car kind of unique. I kind of dig the stealth 5.0. I spanked a older Firebird the other night and the kid says, "Dude that ain't no V6." I said your right and drove off. Unless the sun hits the stripe on the side it is kind of hard to see the CS GT.

DanB2398 08-03-2010 01:58 AM

Haha i was i gonna buy that same car at miller ford. I bought mine from there but i went with ingot silver with instead. I even drove the car u have haha has the nav. they gave me a great price hope they did the same for you

lexustech48 08-03-2010 02:28 AM

Man, I love the way that Pedestal Spoiler looks! really changes the way the rear of that car looks!

Your car looks very clean too; understated yet elegant. Props!

chain1 08-03-2010 08:47 AM

hmm... I may have to do that. Looks great. I really hate to get rid of the stripe though. I also don't know about adding emblems to a car. Where did you get them? Did you have to drill holes to get them on? The main reasons I got the C/S is the improved front end and the pedestal spoiler. Didn't realize it deleted the 5.0 emblems til I got it. It is kind of a nuisance since that little emblem is really the only distinction between a 10 and an 11 (but it's a big one!). I know the C/S wasn't available in 10, but some people think the 11 C/S is a 2010 V6! (until I pull away from the light that is)
Thanks.

Thanks.

The emblems come with alignment tabs which the C/S fenders dont have. I just broke off the alignment tabs and stuck them on (they have two sided tape). I think I have them a little high, but i can just pull them off and reinstall them a little lower. I bought the emblems from CJ's Pony parts. There about $30 for the pair. The stripe comes right off easily. Im sure you could buy it and put it back on if you ever wanted to anyway. Good luck with whatever you decide!

You have to host them somewhere. Setup a photobucket account(its free). Upload the pics there and then link them...

DanB2398 08-07-2010 09:54 AM

Dan somewhere on here there is a thread on how to post pictures. When you are looking at the pictures in photobucket right click them and select properties. One line will begin with http:/ and end with something like jpg. You will need to highlight and copy that whole address. Then when your here click the insert image tab right above where you type. Then paste that address into the box that pops up. You can then select preview post and the picture should show up. Hope that all makes sense. Like I said somewhere there is a thread in one of the general areas on exactly how to do it. Once you figure it out it is a piece of cake.

Found it.....it is in the new member area. It is also a sticky if what I said did not make sense.
