Decal for center emblem is DS-826 3" Cobra decal. http://www.trophymustang.com/cobra-d...05a3ec3399d825 It's an exact fit until I figure out how to bubble the front per original. The '66 GT-350 emblem is from Scott Drake. http://www.trophymustang.com/196566-...05a3ec3399d825 . I made a template and put it where I wanted the emblem. Then I drilled the holes in the trunk lid. and put the fasteners on the backside. I also used clear door moulding glue behind the emblem to keep it from rusting behind it.
Thanks for the compliment!

This thread should be called "Four things Wrong with the 05 Mustang......." the 4th thing wrong is no trunk release other than the FOB or key....it needs a button or handle somewhere.....just my $.02 worth.
+1 Everyone I tell just thinks Im an idiot who hasnt found it yet.

I would not want a trunk release on a car that doesn't have a locking glovebox. Another sin.

Why, so when someone breaks into your car they can't pop the trunk? Do you really think a locking glovebox is secure one bit? They'll break that too if they want.

I really wish these cars had a trunk pop.

About the throttle lag, I know it applies to automatics. But, does it apply to sticks, is the tune worth voiding the warranty on a stick?

My question to Scrming is if that graph with the stock airbox was done witha stock air filter or a K&N type? If it's the stock airfilter I guess I don't need to mod any of the intake unless I change rear gears! Are those also with stock tune?
Bump on that question, John... Also, wondering if there is a performance diff between the stock air filter and the K&N

Thanks!!!!

The graph was with a BRAND NEW Motorcraft air filter... wanted to be as fair as possible since it was a brand new C&L.. The stock air box was with a stock tune... The C&L requires a tune... HOWEVER the only thing done with the C&L tune was adding fuel... nothing else was done in the C&L tune...
