Replying to: beernut (Sep 22, 2006 8:06 am)  I actually put those rocker panel stripes on my '02...white for me, as my car is dark blue. What do the wheels look like on the '00? Are they kinda a shiny, machined chrome, in a star pattern with exposed lugs?

Replying to: john_324 (Sep 22, 2006 12:30 pm) Anyway, the dealer came down another grand so I bought the 00 on Saturday. The exterior is in very good condition and appears to have been garage kept at least for some of its life. The interior looks showroom - even better than I would have done - I'm really surprised at how clean it is. Just a side note... I looked at a '99 convert. on Friday for $3 grand more. Only 24k miles and beautiful pictures on the internet. But...YIKES!! It started as a Hawaii car and moved to Maryland after two years... probably military. Well, it appears the low mileage was due to it being stored for a long time AFTER it was nicely covered with Pacific Ocean salt... corrosion everywhere you looked and at least one complete repaint. Some body panels had at least two repaints. So, now I own a Mustang. There you go.

Replying to: john_324 (Sep 25, 2006 2:41 pm) This is fun! Hey... I've got a question about the clouded headlights that all of these cars have. Is the fix... a) Replacement b) Expensive polish job by a pro c) Buy some goo and polish it myself, or e) Leave them alone?? I'm sure its been discussed on this board before, but I'm new here. |

Replying to: beernut (Sep 26, 2006 3:39 am) I've heard of people wet-sanding their clouded stockers with a really fine grit paper (like 2000), and then polishing them...apparently works pretty well. If yours aren't too bad, you might get good results with just some plastic polish and some elbow grease. Just be glad you don't have a 94-98 model...the headlights on them are known to get quite yellowed with age.

At www.mustangforums.com they mention a "midyear presentation of the GT appearance package". "It included 17 inch wheels, hood and side scoops and specialized body graphics." My "GTR" has 275/40/R17 tires, a K&N air filter, "281 High Output Engine" graphics on the hood, "GTR" badging and the galloping ponies graphics on the sides. Could this have been the midyear package they are referring to? (The car also has a "Ford Racing" sticker on the radiator shroud.) There are no stripes on the hood but the car is red with grey fabric.
