Silver "race" handle now availble for MGW Shifters

2011-01-19T14:37:00.004-05:00

Here at StangMods we've been a big fan of MGW shifters since they were released several years ago. Their unique design offers up one of the most comfortable and solid feeling shifters we've ever tested. New to the MGW line up is their silver "race" handle. This handle will fit all MGW shifters and will give the driver the shortest throw possible. The standard orange handle is still available and provides a more comfortable feel for the driver. Check out the MGW shifter with shifter gaskets when looking to upgrade the stock shifter in your Mustang.

StangMods Online Store Redesign

2010-11-17T17:48:00.002-05:00

Its been many years now since the first StangMods site hit the net and we decided it was time for some freshening up. We enlisted the designers at Volusion to handle our latest site upgrade and we are more than happy with the outcome.

In changing the look and feel of our online store, we decided to go with subtle changes rather than a drastic, complete makeover. One thing you'll notice is the large search box located on our header banner. Customers can now perform a quick search for any specific part. We also added our toll free number in the header so customers looking to reach us by phone can do so quickly. Overall, the number one goal of our re-design was to enable a better shopping experience for our customers.

You can check out the other changes by visiting our store www.stangmods.com

Mishimoto Radiators for your Mustang's Cooling System

2010-09-15T14:04:00.016-05:00

For most of us, the blazing heat that comes along with the summer months has finally come to an end. Now is the perfect time to upgrade your Mustang's stock cooling system. Mishimoto Performance Radiators for the Ford Mustang is the solution to your engine cooling needs.

The Mishimoto product line includes performance radiators, silicon hose kits, air diversion plates and thermostats for your late model Ford Mustang. StangMods carries their entire line up and we offer free shipping and the lowest prices around.

The performance aluminum Mustang radiator is intended to increase cooling efficiency by as much as 30%. This means your Stang will run cooler and make more horsepower. In addition to the cooling capabilities, a new aluminum radiator will save you a few extra pounds off the front end of your Stang.

What we love about these radiators is the lifetime warranty and direct, OEM fit. Lets talk about the warranty first. Each Mishimoto Performance radiator comes with a lifetime warranty against any and all manufacturer defects. The manufacturer stands behind every part they produce for one simple reason...they know they make high quality stuff! They even offer accident protection. Thats right, if your Mustang equipped with a Mishimoto radiator is involved in an accident, they'll replace the damaged radiator at no charge. Simply can't be beat!

Installation of your new Mishimoto radiator is as simple as one, two, three. For most Mustang applications, no cutting, drilling, sawing or any permanent modifications are required for installation. Simply drop in the new radiator and go. No custom brackets or any other mounting hardware is required either.

You can browse all of our Mustang performance aluminum radiators at StangMods.com.

JLT Mustang Cold Air Intakes

2010-04-15T16:28:00.004-05:00

Since the early 90s when fuel injected 5.0 motors were all the rage, one of the first few modifications any Mustang owner would do was an aftermarket cold air intake. For around $200, you can significantly improve the airflow entering your Mustang's V6 or V8 engine. Its not a secret that cooler air leads to more horsepower. In addition, those who have or plan to install an aftermarket exhaust, the benefits seen are even greater. One company that leads the forefront in Mustang cold air induction is JLT Performance. Their line of cold air and ram air intakes offer the greatest power increase over the competition. This is a fact thats been proven with numerous third party dyno testing. In addition to adding more power and torque, JLT intakes are easy to install and look unbelievably good underneath the hood of your Stang. Their standard gloss black intake is a thing of beauty and if you're looking for more oomph in the looks department, their color matched intake tubes will help get the job done. Get the best of both worlds with a JLT intake for your Mustang today. They are available for the V6, GT, Mach 1, Bullitt, Cobra, GT500 and even Ford Lighting and Harley pick up truck.

Mustang Clear Bras from StangMods

2008-04-26T19:25:00.000-05:00

Why do so many Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche dealers install clear bras on these vehicles before they leave the lot? For one reason, to protect the paint finish of these high priced automobiles. Now you can add the same protection to your Mustang with our VentureShield Clear Bra Protection Kits.

We offer them for the 99-08 Mustang V6, GT, & Cobra. We also have a protection kit for 99-04 Saleens. With the individual kits, you can help protect areas such as your front bumper, hood, fenders, side mirrors, rocker panels, and wheel well openings.

VentureShield offers a LIFETIME warranty on their products. The film when installed is nearly invisible and will help protect against rock chips, road debris, bug stains, and grime.

If you have a new Mustang or even an older Stang that you want to ensure stays in tip top shape, a clear bra kit is the ultimate in vehicle protection. Our entire inventory of Mustang clear bra kits can be found: http://www.stangmods.com/Mustang-Care-and-Maintenance-Products-s/259.htm

Installing 2005-2008 Mustang Turn Signals

2008-04-04T12:15:00.009-05:00

Lately, one of the most popular upgrades that 2005+ Mustang owners are doing is replacing the stock amber front turn signals with a clear, smoked, or black turn signal lens. Today, we are going over the installation process and photo comparisons of each different lens.

Tools/Parts Needed:

Phillips Head Screwdriver

Plyers

Clear, Smoked, or Black Turn Signal Lenses

1. The first step is to make sure your vehicle is parked on a level service with the parking brake engaged. Turn your steering wheel at full lock to the side opposite the one you are installing the lens on. (If you are installing the lens on the driver's side, turn the wheel all the way over to the passenger side) This will give you enough room to work with. You can use the phillips screwdriver to remove the screws on inner fender lining to give you access to the lenses. Also, it is not necessary to lift the car but it will make the process of getting access to the lens and having enough working room much easier.

2. Once you have access to the rear of the lens, you will need to remove the bulbs in the stock lens housing. There are two separate bulbs in each lens. (3157 and 194 bulb signified by red arrows in the picture below)Remove the bulbs by simply grasping the base firmly and turning counter-clockwise. They should come out with minimal effort.

3. After you've removed the bulbs from the rear of the lens, you will see two white prongs which are holding the lens in place. (see red arrows in the picture below) What you want to do is squeeze these white prongs with your plyers/channel locks while you gently press on the front of the lens. This will release the lens from the housing. This process will be easier if you have another set of hands to push the lens while you are releasing the prongs.

4. Now, after you've removed the stock lens, you simply need to re-install the bulbs in your new lens and reverse the process from step three.

A popular upgrade to go with your new lenses are our 3157 Chrome/Amber Bulbs and 194 Chrome/Amber Bulbs. These bulbs help you take advantage of your new clear/smoked look by removing the stock amber bulb and replacing it with a bulb that still glows amber when activated, but appears almost invisible when off. We offer a complete package that includes your choice of the smoked, clear, or black lenses along with the 3157 and 194 chrome/amber bulb. Click here to be taken to our Mustang Bulb Packages

HID Flickering for 2005 and up Mustangs

2008-01-18T14:40:00.000-05:00

Have you purchased an HID kit for your 2005+ Mustang only to have flickering problems with the lights? If so, you are not alone. The ECU (computer) on 2005+ Mustangs respond differently to performance modifications and the same is true when you install HID lights. StangMods.com has a fix for this problem. By adding our heavy-duty, upgraded relay to the wiring harness of your HID kit, the flickering and strobing problem will be solved.

Any reputable HID kit should come with an auxiliary wiring harness with inline fuse and relay. If your kit did not come with this, you will not be able to properly install your HID kit without cutting into your stock headlight harness. Single beam HID kits for the 2005+ Mustang will require one relay, while most dual beam kits will require two to three. Please contact us: sales@stangmods.com if you need help identifying how many relays you will need and if they are compatible with your specific HID kit. Remember, all single beam and dual beam HID kits from StangMods.com comes with the upgraded relay(s) and harness to ensure proper functioning the first time around. Feel free to contact us with any and all questions regarding your specific lighting needs.

As always,

Have fun in your Stang and be safe!

Mustang's Squeaky Clutch

2007-07-14T00:13:00.000-05:00

I noticed this problem with my own 2003 V6 and now with my 2004 Mach 1. The "squeaky clutch" problem has plagued many Mustang owners alike. The problem is with the throwout bearing. There has even been a TSB (technical service bulletin) about the problem. The only issue is, even after getting the problem fixed at your dealer, the squeak is most likely to come back.

The solution...upgrade your weak, stock throwout bearing with a heavy duty unit from Ford Racing Performance Parts.

http://www.stangmods.com/Mustang-Throwout-Bearing-p/00755-m-7548-a.htm

The heavy duty unit features a self-centering bearing design that will outlast any stock or "replacement" throwout bearing installed at your dealer. Available for all manual transmission Mustangs from 79-04. Install one of these and get rid of that squeaky clutch!

Brembo Brakes now at StangMods

2007-06-02T09:52:00.001-05:00

Hello all, we are happy to announce the addition of Brembo brakes to www.StangMods.com

Brembo offers a comprehensive line of brake components and systems ranging from direct O.E. replacement parts to high performance upgrades and complete racing systems. Each component and system is developed using Brembo’s innovative technology, experience and QS- and ISO-certified quality standards. Upgrade your Mustang's brakes with only the best in the business. Brembo is an OE supplier for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ford, & Subaru.

It doesn't matter how fast your Stang is if you can't bring it to a stop in a relatively short distance. Upgrading your brakes will not only add functionality, but you'll also add style and class. You can upgrade your front rotors to a cross drilled or slotted style and still retain the use of your stock calipers, lines, and even pads.

Cross Drilled Rotors:

Brembo Sport drilled brake rotors undergo the race-born practice of cross drilling to provide multiple paths to disperse built-up heat and gasses.

Slotted Rotors:

Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors undergo race-born practice of machining multiple shallow slots into the disc’s front and rear surfaces to provide paths to disperse built-up heat and gasses, and assist in refreshing the surface of the brake pads.

So, whether your looking for an upgraded look or extra stopping power on the street, a set of Brembo brakes is an excellent upgrade!

StangMods has slotted and cross drilled Brembo rotors starting at $179 shipped for the pair. With the ability to re-use your stock calipers, lines, and pads, we make it relatively inexpensive to upgrade your Mustang with a set of cross drilled or slotted rotors.

As always, have fun in your Stang and be safe!

Why HID Lighting for your Mustang?

2007-03-03T13:50:00.000-05:00

We get several emails and calls a day from customers asking about our HID lighting kits for the Ford Mustang, Lightning, and Harley Truck. Listed below are the most common questions and answers to these questions.

Question: Will HIDs melt my headlamps or wiring?

Answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT! You see, your stock Mustang headlight bulb consumes 55 watts of power when on. Our HID bulbs consume only 35 watts of power. The truth is, HIDs consume 20 less watts to operate than a halogen bulb. This means, your HID kit will consume LESS power and produce LESS heat than your stock bulbs. In addition, StangMods.com would never sell a product that would be detrimental to your vehicle's functioning. We stand behind all of our products 100%!

Question: What does 4300K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, 12000K mean?

Answer: These numbers are used to distinguish between the different color temperatures of each kit. When we say temperature, we are not referring to hot or cold. Instead, we are referring to the color and amount of light that is emitted. As a general rule of thumb, the LOWER the kelvin temperature, the BRIGHTER the light output will be. Thus, a 4300K HID Kit will produce more light than a 12000K HID kit. In addition, some think that the higher kelvin temperature, the more heat that is produced. This is simply untrue. Each kit operates at only 35 watts! Your stock halogen bulb uses 55 watts!

Question: What is the difference between the 4300K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, and 12000K HID Kit. Which one is brighter?

Answer: The only noticeable difference between each kit is the color of light that they produce. Technically, the 4300K produces more light than the 12000K, but the difference is very not noticeable. In deciding which HID kit to get, you should choose a kit that produces the color of your liking. Below is a side by side comparison of the color produced by each kit.

As you can see, the 4300K produces a pure white light. The 6000K produces a whiteish-blue light, the 8000K produces a blue light, and the 10000K produces a blueish-purple light.

Question:What is the difference between your kits and the less expensive kits found on Ebay?

Answer: Ever heard the expression, you get what you pay for? This is exactly the case when comparing our HIDs to less expensive kits on the market. When you purchase an HID kit for your Mustang, Lightning, or Harley Truck from StangMods, you are getting a fully backed warranty and the peace of mind knowing that we are here to provide support before, during, and after your purchase. The less expensive kits you see out there are made from cheaper products. There is a reason why they are priced so cheap!

Here are a few reasons why you should buy from StangMods

Our HID kits come with a full one year warranty.

Most ebay kits come with little or no warranty at all.

Our kits are designed specifically for your application.

When you buy off Ebay, you are buying a "one size fits all" type of kit.

We provide our own, detailed installation instructions and technical support.

Other kits come with generic universal instructions. Most of the time, the instructions are not even in english!

StangMods.com will be there for you before, during, and after the sale!

You've got to ask yourself, what does an Ebay seller have to lose AFTER you've left positive feedback?

More questions, as they come along will be posted. If you would like, feel free to contact us anytime at: 1.800.618.9350

Mustang HID Kit...Where to Mount Your Ballasts

2006-12-01T15:05:00.000-05:00

While our HID kits are 100% plug and play, the hardest part about the installation is finding a good spot to mount your ballasts. We decided to post up some pictures and information on where we recommend the ballasts to be mounted on all of our HID headlight kits.

Driver Side
On the drivers side, when you remove the headlamp, you will see decent side hole in which you can pass all the HID wires through and tuck your ballast behind. Please see the picture below for reference.

As you can see, our ballast is tucked in between the headlamp post and battery. We recommend to first install your new HID bulb, then plug in the connections to the ballast, and finally , slide the ballast into place. Please note, there is more than enough space for two ballasts to be tucked in behind this hole. Those of you with HID Foglight kits, you can also tuck the ballast from that kit in behind the headlamp and run the wires down to your foglamp.

Passenger Side
Mounting the ballast on the passenger side is as simple as making all of your connections to the HID bulb and then simply using double sided tape to secure the ballast to the fenderwall as shown in the picture below.

Notice, we are running a JLT True Ram air on our 04 Mach 1. Even if you have the stock induction set up, you will still have plenty of space on the fenderwall to install the ballast. The wires will be long enough to reach the HID bulb.

With the examples outlined above, mounting your ballasts in this manner will help keep them away from water and any moving engine parts. The ballasts are for the most part water resistant and will not be harmed if exposed to small amounts of water.

How To: Making your foglights stay on when turning your high beams on in your 94-04 V8 Mustang.

2006-11-21T16:57:00.000-05:00

On all 94-04 GT & Cobra Mustangs, when the high beams are activated, the foglights immediately turn off. This is a function implemented from the factory. With the introduction of our Bi-Xenon HID Headlight Kit and HID Foglight Kit for 94-04 Mustangs, we wanted our customers to be able to run the HID high beam while having their HID foglights stay on. Outlined below are the steps necessary to have your foglights stay on when your high beams are activated in any 94-04 Mustang.

Materials Needed:

16 gauge wire approximately 2.5” in length ($4.24 for a 12’ roll)

Two male spade connectors ($3.14 for a pack of 4)

Electrical Tape ($2.09 for a roll)

Wire Strippers

Needle Nose Pliers

Preparing Jumper (fake relay):

Take your 16 gauge wire and strip off approximately ½” of the plastic sheathing on both ends.

Crimp the two male spade connectors at each end of your 16 gauge wire with your pliers. Wrap any exposed wire with black electrical tape.

This completes the fabrication of your jumper.

Step 1:

Open the cover on the fuse box located underneath the hood and remove the relay using needle nose pliers.

Step 2:

Once the relay is removed, you will notice five different open slots. The male connectors at each end of your jumper must be inserted in the two outermost slots.

Step 3:

Insert your jumper (fake relay) in the two outermost slots.

Step 4:

Finally, finish your installation by closing the cover on the fuse box. You are now done!

You should now be able to turn your high beams without having the foglights cut off.

Mach 1 Grille Delete...The differences between the two.

2006-11-18T14:45:00.000-05:00

After numerous emails and calls from customers wondering what the differences were between the two and three piece grille delete, we decided to create a little review on the two grille deletes. Enjoy!

StangMods.com offers a two-piece and three-piece Mach 1 Grille Delete for your 99-04 GT or V6. There is only one slight difference between the two kits. Both kits use OEM Ford parts for excellent fitment and looks. Read on below for more information on the Mach 1 Grille Deletes we offer.

Two Piece Grille Delete:
This kit includes the running pony emblem and the lower plastic "U" shaped section. The two piece kit is shown directly below.

Three Piece Grille Delete:
This kit includes the running pony emblem, lower plastic "U" shaped section, and the upper-center grille section. The three piece kit is shown directly below.

Differences:
As you can see from the pictures above, the only difference between the grille deletes is that the three piece kit includes the upper-center grille section.

Differences In Installation:
There are absolutely no differences in installation between the two kits. Installation is very simple, the hardest part being removing your stock grille.

Differences in Looks:
It is hard to distinguish between the two piece and three piece grille delete when the hood of your Mustang is closed. The upper center grille section in the three piece kit is primarily visible only when the hood is opened. It more or less gives the grille area a cleaner appearance when the hood is popped.

Whick Kit to Purchase:
We recommend going for the two piece kit if you are on a budget. The three piece kit is approximately $40 more. If you show your car and want to maintain a cleaner look, we suggest spending the extra money and going for the three piece kit. Otherwise, the two piece kit gets the job done very well while saving you $40.

As always, enjoy your Stang and be safe out there!
