GT500 Wide Body Kit - The Best of Both Worlds!

2012-01-28T12:05:00.000-08:00

No matter how you look at it there are two distinctive kinds of car folks. Those that are all about the LOOKS of their cars, and those that are all about the GO FAST of their cars. There are some that are able to do both, but they are the exception.

I have seen a lot of Mustang Parts & Accessories out there and inevitability they also fall into one of the two camps: They are either Look Good parts, or they are GO FAST parts. So it is very nice when you discover something that appeals to BOTH camps equally. My latest discovery is the GT500 Wide Body Kit from Bangastang.

First let's talk to the Looks Good folks. All you have to do to be completely hooked is observe the dramatic difference in the silhouette of the car. The wide, aggressive stance and the sweeping ground effects is enough to guarantee jealous, coveting looks from observers as you drive by. Your ride will look vastly different and, I believe, vastly better than the stock Shelby GT500, and it is already a beautiful car.

Now to the GO FAST folks the addition of the GT500 Wide Body Kit is all about more rubber on the road . . . a LOT more. Specifically you are able to get a whopping increase of 45 millimeters per fender in the front, and an astounding increase of 50 millimeters per fender in the rear. In real world terms this means you can have up to 20 X 9.5 front wheels wearing 285/30/20 rubber and 20 X 12.5 rear wheels wearing disgusting large 345/30/20 tires. This significant increase gives you a great deal more grip off the line as make you much faster in the turns. How would you like to shave a few seconds off your best time on your next Track Day?

So, to sum up . . .

The GT500 Wide Body Kit makes your Shelby GT500 LOOK as bad-ass as it really is, and
It makes you GO FASTER then ever before.

So there is really only one issue left, and that is where to ship the thing? You are going to need a good fiberglass installer as well as someone to paint the kit. So my best suggestion is to find your installer and have the kit shipped directly to them. This will save you a great deal of trouble carting the thing around later.

If you would like to discuss anything about this kit or just order with a person instead of online, just Contact Bangastang anytime and they will take excellent care of you. They always do!

Lighten Up!

2012-01-25T18:33:00.000-08:00

How many times have you heard someone tell you that? Well now you are hearing it again, except this time we are talking to your Mustang!

Reducing the curb weight of your car is an excellent way to increase the performance of your Mustang, and also a great way to get better fuel economy (for those that care about such things!) One of the best ways to do this is by replacing some of the stock steel parts with high-performance carbon fiber parts.

One of the biggest parts on your Mustang GT that you can replace to make a big dent in weight is the hood. At Bangastang we highly recommend you replace your stock heavyweight with a very light and very cool Carbon Fiber Mustang Hood from Truefiber. These hoods are very lightweight, will really help your need for ‘go-fast’ and they look beautiful! What could be better than something that makes your car look cool AND go faster?

These are truly a bolt on replacement. All holes match the factory hood, so all you will need is:

Some basic hand tools.

Someone you trust to hold the other end while you bolt in on.
About 15 - 20 minutes to install hood pins.

BINGO your Carbon Fiber Mustang Hood is installed. That's it. Now you have to spend the rest of the day driving around so people will notice “all the hard work” you put into your Mustang GT.

If you are a Show Car guy then look into the special option of having a carbon Fiber underside on your Truefiber Hood. Looks exceptionally cool and is bound to impress even the pickiest of Judges at your next event.

Carbon Fiber or carbon fiber?

2012-01-19T07:24:00.000-08:00

OK, I have to admit, I think carbon fiber looks too cool. The futuristic way it shines in sunlight on a nice afternoon drive or in streetlights in a parking lot on a beer run - it just looks cool! The more carbon fiber mustang parts I see the cooler I think they are.

As a result a lot of people out there started producing Carbon Fiber Mustang Parts. The problem is, and this problem exists in all things, there are widely varying levels of quality. I mean there is carbon fiber and then there is Carbon Fiber! So how do you know, from a picture on a website, if you are getting carbon fiber or Carbon Fiber?

News Flash: Price means nothing! I have seen crap priced just as high as the good stuff. So then we are back to how can you tell? The sad truth is you really can’t. That is where my buddy Hendrix at Bangastang comes in. He reviews every one of the carbon fiber mustang parts that he sells and I can guarantee you this one thing:

If he wouldn’t put it on HIS car, he will not sell it on HIS website - period!

This statement says a great deal. Have you SEEN his car? Have you SEEN any of the work he has done on anyone's car? If you have then you are fully aware of the weight of that statement.

So you can order a Carbon Fiber Roof Cover right now that is of the best quality and know it will absolutely fit. You can order a Carbon Fiber Mustang Hood and KNOW it is a simple bolt on replacement that looks and fits perfectly! Why? Because Hendrix said it would!

Best part is if you have any questions on a part, how it attaches or installs, just give Bangastang a call and they will give you all the info you need.

New '05-'10 Mustang GT Plenum Cover

2011-10-26T15:52:00.000-07:00

2005-2010 Mustang GT owners have a new product to smile about and buy.... the new Mustang GT 3 Valve "Open Runner" Plenum Cover. It takes a lot for me to get excited but the new S197 GT Plenum Cover has me more excited then when Tobi Smith asked to borrow my #4 pencil in fifth grade art class, I had such a crush on Tobi.

The new "Open Runner" Plenum Cover from Cal Pony Cars is one of the sharpest '05-'10 Mustang accessories to come out in a long time. The first thing that strikes me about the Plenum is the design that resembles the 2011 5.0 Mustang Plenum Cover. Adding a new look to an older vehicle is a very wise move. Because of it's low profile design the Plenum Cover will fit under most of the Strut Tower Braces on the market....BIG Kudos. S197 owners have longed for a Plenum Cover that offers clearance for Strut Tower Braces and this one will do just that.

The "Open Runner" Plenum Cover comes in a Gunmetal finish with an aluminum accent that matches
with the CPC Fuel Rail Covers and Throttle Body Cover. The Plenum Cover works with or without
the CPC Fuel Rail Covers and Throttle Body Cover but if you really want to dress up your engine
bay the Fuel Rail Covers and Throttle Body Cover are a must. The 4.6 font is embossed and will be available with different color decals in the future. Installation will take you less than five minutes and the impact is instant and long term.

The price for the Plenum Cover is $199 and is available from Bangastang. We are now taking
orders for the "Open Runner" Plenum Cover and will start shipping orders out in early November.
Bangastang is the first to offer the new GT Plenum Cover and it's also available painted from us.
It's time for some new gear for your 2005-2010 GT. Visit our website and place your order today

Project Mustang Bullitt

2011-08-21T23:26:00.000-07:00

We've been hoping for the opportunity to work on 2008 Mustang Bullitt. Bullitt owners tend to limit the number of aftermarket accessories that they install on their Mustang, so when we got the call that we would do some customizing on a Bullitt, needless to say we were pretty excited.

The Mustang Bullitt is a tribute car to the classic movie "Bullitt" that starred the late movie icon
Steve McQueen. In 2001 the Ford Motor Company released the first Bullitt Mustangs and then
again in 2008-2009. Limited in production and color selection Bullitts were only available in black, True Blue and Highland Green with the latter being the most popular.

We received a phone call from Bret D. owner of a 2008 Mustang Bullitt, Bret explained to us that his Bullitt was a daily driver with 70,000 miles and also a show car, which is some what rare for a car with 70K miles. After talking with Bret, I realized that he was very meticulous about his Bullitt. We knew from day one we wanted to do something special and classy for his '08 Bullitt. Bangastang doesn't believe in ruining a Mustang, just enhancing it. Bret told us the ideas that he had for his Bullitt and after a few conversations we came up with a game plan. With some Mustang accessories from
Bangastang and the painting skills of Pat's Custom Cars and Bret's input we started "Project Bullitt".

When we first saw Bret's Bullitt it was obvious he had taken very good care of his car. Already
outfitted with Silverhorse Racing Louvers , Bassini exhaust, Ford Racing headers, MAG Fuel
Rail Covers and Plenum Cover, Bret's motor was clean something that we don't see enough of in
show cars.You've heard the expression "if it's not broke don't fix it", Bret's Bullitt was not broke it just needed a little freshening up and a few Mustang accessories to enhance Bullitt #2978. Bret has won his share of trophies for his Bullitt and wanted to make sure he continued to win more trophies. Bret had a good idea what he wanted for his car so an initial parts list was put together that included a California Special Front Fascia, Trufiber SVT fiberglass hood and one of our Bangastang Radiator Covers One thing to remember when customizing any car your initial parts list may grow and setbacks can happen like it did with "Project Bullitt".

Pat's and his crew starting to dismantle the Bullitt in preparation for paint, this was not going to be a scuff and mask paint job like most or your collision shops but a complete paint job that includes the
removal of all lights, turn signals, door handles, badges, markers and trim.

Within a few days the parts started to arrive, first up was the California Special Front Fascia, remember what I said earlier about setback? The CS Front Fascia was damaged in the shipping...OUCH!

With any car build there is always a delay and this was our first. Two days later the Trufiber SVT Hood arrived with the corner broken off. I was starting to think the courier must have been Camaro owners and didn't want to see "Project Bullitt" finished.

We had already waited five days for freight delivery of the hood and we didn't want any more delays or damaged shipments so I decided to make the four hour roundtrip drive to Trufiber in Corona California
to pick up the hood. A few days later another California Special Front Fascia was delivered safe and sound.

Let me briefly discuss fiberglass hoods and some of the debate regarding them, for the record all fiberglass hoods require some level of filler and block sanding during the prep stage. I've not seen one fiberglass hood that was perfect and didn't need block sanding. Don't buy a fiberglass hood for $700 and pay $300 for painting and expect it to be show worthy.....won't happen. Too many times body shops are not experienced in fiberglass prep and don't take the time to prepare the hood for painting only to rush into paint, once the hood dries every imperfection shows, you're not happy with the paint, the body shop tells you the hood is defective and you should get your money back from the manufacturer. The bottom line is you get what you pay for and cheap is not cheap.

Bangastang carries Trufiber, Suncoast, RK Sport Mustang Hoods and we find all of them to be good
quality Mustang Hoods.

Once the Trufiber Hood and California special Front Fascia was prepped the painting started, only top quality PPG paint was used and we stayed with the original Highland Green hue.

Next on our list was to come up with a Radiator Cover for the Bullitt, we've been making our one piece Radiator Covers for the Mustangs and GT500 for three years and have shipped out almost 300 but we've never done one for the Bullitt. The Bullitt has a Ford Racing Cold Air Intake that is specific to the 2008-2009 Bullitt and different from all the other CAI on the market. We knew we would have to modify our Bangastang GT/V6 Radiator Cover to fit around the Heat Shield for the Bullitt. Using
poster board we made a template that outlined the CAI once the template was fine tuned we cut a Radiator Cover and test fitted it on the Bullitt. After a few modifications we were ready for the final cut, remember measure twice and cut once.

One of the first things that I noticed on Bret's Bullitt was the Midwest Auto Gears' Plenum Cover and Fuel Rail Covers, unfortunatly Midwest Auto Gear is no longer in business. There were a few more pieces to the engine bay that we could add to bring more color and continuity to the Bullitt. Our good friends with Cal Pony Cars make a Mustang Fuse Box Cover, Shock Tower Covers and Battery and Master Cylinder Cover that would top off the 4.6 V8 engine nicely with some Highland Green paint.

We were starting to get down to the final stages of "Project Bullitt" and we needed a little extra bling for the engine bay. After talking with Bret we decided to change out all of the stock screws in his engine bay and add billet screw and washers to add a more custom look. All total there is about 26 fasteners that we changed. Can Christmas come any faster?

The Bullitt is painted, clearcoated with four coats of PPG clear, wet sanded and buffed now it's time for the Trufiber SVT Hood to go on. The Trufiber SVT Hood gives the Bullitt that retro look of the original '68 Bullitt. The hood fits fine with no issues.

Instead of using the Redline Tuning Hood struts that Bret had on his stock hood we opted to us a set of Cal Pony Cars Mustang Hood Struts these hood struts don't require drilling for installation and come color matched in most of the popular OEM Ford Mustang colors.

Time to check and double check everything before Bret picks up his Bullitt. Bret has a smile on his
face so I guess he's happy.

2011-08-20T11:14:00.000-07:00

Carbon Fiber has been around since the late 1800s when inventor Thomas Edison used carbon filaments in his early light bulbs. The carbon fiber in Edison's light bulbs were cellulose based materials from cotton and bamboo. Today's carbon fiber is petroleum based.

In the 1950's high strength carbon fiber was discovered. Carbon Fiber has many benefits one is it's strength. Carbon Fiber has a higher tensile strength than steel. Another benefit of carbon fiber is it's lightweight and it's resistance to stretching. The use of carbon fiber has been a fixture in aviation and the space program for many years.

Carbon Fiber was voted one of he greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century by the National Academy of Engineering.

In the 1970 the automotive industry starting experimenting with carbon fiber. The Ford Motor Company built a car out of carbon fiber in 1997.

Today cars competing in NASCAR and Formula 1 are comprised of carbon fiber composites to save weight and add strength.

Carbon fiber Mustang accessories have become a fixture of the late model Ford Mustang parts and accessory industry. Carbon fiber accessories were once only available in your exotic cars such as Porche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin. Now Mustang owners can purchase a wide variety of carbon fiber accessories and parts for their Mustang from hoods, front splitters, rockers panels, rear diffusers, fenders, trunk lids, plenum covers, dash kits and even center consoles. The list of carbon fiber accessories for the late model Ford Mustang is growing rapidly.

The cost of carbon fiber has decreased in the last few years making it for affordable. The techniques used to apply carbon fiber has increased and now it's a matter of your imagination. If you want something in carbon fiber for your Mustang it's probably available......just ask.

My question to you is has carbon fiber lost it's appeal? When something is new everyone wants it but once it's been around for awhile it loses it's appeal or does it?

Carbon Fiber Mustang Roof Cover

2011-07-19T22:53:00.000-07:00

Thinking out of the box can be hard for some people and quite easy for others. Coming up with a new product that is innovative and gets people attention is even harder. I've finally crossed paths with a Mustang accessory that does all of that and a bag of chips, the carbon fiber Mustang Roof Cover for the 2005-2012 Ford Mustang.

Sometimes we get a little bored with some of the accessories on the market for the late model Mustangs we see the same old stuff with a slight twist but the carbon fiber Mustang Roof Cover has my blood flowing at a very quick rate.

Installation requires the use of epoxy resin and most experienced body shops can handle the install. The Roof Cover will fit all 2005-2012 Mustangs. Imagine this on your Mustang , KR, GT500 or Super Snake with the stripes painted on the top.....SWEET!

The carbon fiber Mustang Roof Cover is available from Bangastang and retails for $589 which is quite impressive when you consider the size of this masterpiece. If you need some over the top styling

5.0 Engine Dress-Up Kit

2011-07-02T02:18:00.000-07:00

The new Mustang 2011 5.0 motor offers many options for customizing and Bangastang used every option possible. We started with a blank canvas and a little paint, along with some cool parts from
Airaid and Cal Pony Cars. Here's what the 2011 5.0 Mustang engine bay looks like stock.

A great canvas to work with, complete with radiator cover and plenum cover but void of color and that's where Bangastang comes in. Adding some color along with highlights is like a woman having her hair styled but in this case it's a Mustang's engine bay. Hairstylist look at the woman face to see what colors and tones stand out then they use highlights that make her features pop. We took notice of the 5.0 overall layout...coil covers, plenum cover, fuse box, strut tower brace, cold air intake and radiator cover. Using the exterior color of Race Red we built a foundation complete with highlights that brought out the existing colors, while adding depth and flow. We added a Cal Pony Car fuse box cover, Battery and Master Cylinder Cover and Airaid Cold Air Intake. We painted all parts and did custom airbrushing and striping. Here's what we came up with.

Use your canvas and paint, add highlights, depth, detail and flow, you will amazed at the outcome.

If you need help with your canvas on your Mustang contact Bangastang at info@bangastang.com.

Count your Blessings not your Horsepower

2011-06-05T21:22:00.000-07:00

With all the natural disasters that have taken place....tsunami, earthquakes, floods, and tornadoes, I can't help but feel a great deal of sadness for the victims and survivors of victims. Loved ones and generations of families have been wiped out in seconds.

The stories that we've watched on television are just a one minute and thirty second snippet into the lives of people that have lost sons, daughters, grandparents, parents, friends, pets and all of their possessions. No prom, no wedding, no 25th wedding anniversary, no pearl necklace that belonged to my great grandmother.....all gone. A one minute and thirty second news story can't touch the depth of the pain and grief that Joplin Missouri must feel.

Too many of us are whiners, we complain about material things that we are blessed to have. My Mustang needs a paint job, but you have a car. I need to get my windows tinted on my GT, but you have windows. I need 20s on my GT500, you have a car. Maybe some of you can't imagine not having a front door, least of all a home that still stands or a closet full of clothes. The phrase "gone in 60 seconds"does not necessarily apply to car. Don't think for a moment that you're safe, tragedy can happen to anyone of us in a blink of an eye.

Take a couple of hours to realize what you have and how blessed, not lucky you are. Think about the
tornado victims that can't find their homes because it's been torn away.

Please make a donation to aid the victims of the recent tornadoes. We've got over 2,200 fans on our Bangastang Facebook Fan page, if everyone of you donated $25.00 that would be $55,000 raised to help victims. Count your blessing not your horsepower and help.

Thanks,
Bangastang

GT500 KR Parts for Sale

2011-03-27T22:48:00.000-07:00

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Apparently a Shelby GT500 KR wasn't much of a treasure to one man. Recently we acquired several parts from a KR....wheels, tires, front splitter, suspension, brakes, seats, sway bars, exhaust, front fascia and fenders. The owner of the GT500 KR opted to make his rare Shelby a Widebody road and track car. The Widebody transformation required a 10 piece fiberglass kit that replaced the front fascia, fenders, rear fascia and rocker panels. In present stage the GT500 KR looks nothing like the original trim.

Once we announced that we had several of the KR parts a mad frenzy erupted from Shelby GT500
from all over the world. We received emails and phone calls from as far away as Germany and
Poland. Over the course of a weekend we received over 300 emails regarding the KR parts. The
majority of the inquiries were about the rare KR wheels....they were the first to sell. A GT500
owner in the San Diego area read our Bangastang blog and called us first....wheels and tires were
gone in 60 seconds. The KR Struts and Springs were the next parts sold to a KR owner in Texas,
followed by the exhaust that is on it's way to Germany. The Brembo brakes from the KR have found a home in San Jose California.

After posting on our Facebook Fan Page, our blog and a few Mustang related forums we were amazed how quickly the word got out about the KR Parts and the story behind the KR. The Mustang Source
even wrote an article about our treasure find.

The lure of the GT500 KR parts is their rarity, you just can't walk into your local Ford dealer and order
KR wheels and the carbon fiber hood without jumping through a few large hoops.

We did receive a phone call from a guy in southern California that recently bought a KR from an
auction lot and several of the original parts were missing like the wheels, brakes and seats. He
was interested in buying many of the KR parts that we had available. So let's think for a moment,
somewhere in California there is another set of GT500 KR wheels floating around maybe for
sale.....time to do some investigating.

We have the Front Fascia and Fenders from the KR and we're considering offers, if the price is
right someone will have the front clip from GT500 KR, if not it will make a nice addition to
my memorabilia.

We don't know if we'll ever come across any more GT500 KR parts but if we do you'll be the
first to know. Make sure you're a fan of our Bangastang Facebook Fan Page to get the latest
news from us.

GT500 KR butchered!

2011-03-13T23:50:00.000-07:00

Finding original 2008 Shelby GT500 KR parts are like a Honus Wagner baseball card.....they are almost impossible to find and if you find one the price is through the roof.

You've heard many stories of people selling or giving away rare and valuable items and now we have
one for you to chew on.

Before we get to the details of our very rare find, let's talk about the 2008 Shelby GT500 KR. The
2008 Shelby GT500 KR is probably the rarest domestic car to come out of the US in over twenty years
only 1,712 were built making the KR a highly collectible car for a car collector. Many parts on the KR
are exclusive to the KR and are not sold on the open retail market. A carbon fiber hood, rocker panels,
mirror covers, wheels, stripes and a front splitter are only found on a GT500 KR.

Many KR owners don't even drive their car due to the fear of having a accident and the high cost for replacement parts. To replace a KR carbon fiber hood will cost you close to $20,000....plus paint.

Only a person that owns a KR can purchase KR parts and only after proving that their stock parts were
damaged and need replacement will replacement parts be sold. You might even need Top Secret
government clearance to get their hands on GT500 KR products.

Every now and then someone comes along and doesn't know the value of something....rare paintings,
18th century furniture, baseball cards, Egyptian artifacts, Civil War maps or a 2008 Shelby GT500
KR. Some folks throw stuff in the trash, donate it to the Goodwill, use it for a doorstop or decide to
modify a perfectly good car.....we shed a few tears on this one.

Now before you read the next few sentences I strongly suggest that you sit down, take your shoes off
and maybe have a glass or two of wine. WARNING what you are about to read may cause high
levels of anxiety, anger, depression and even thoughts of homicide. Please proceed with caution.

A few days ago we were informed that a owner of a 2008 Shelby GT500 KR in the San Diego area
had dismantled his KR and made it into a Widebody Race car complete with fiberglass fenders,front fascia, rear fascia, rocker panels, front splitter , roll cage and a host of other goodies. This is not a typo and I'm not under the influence of alcohol as I write this.....a KR was dismantled by
the owner and made into a Widebody street and track car for kicks. Jed get your rifle.

Remember back in high school when you had a crush on Vivian McCray, Vivian was the prettiest
girl in the entire school district. Every guy in your school wanted to date Vivian but didn't have a
snowball's chance in hell. Vivian was like a rare painting, a fine piece of 18th century furniture, a Honus Wagner baseball card, a Civil War map and a Shelby GT500 KR. Finally your big break comes and Vivian is in your 5th hour history class and sits next to you. Your heart can't stop racing,
you can't believe that foxy Vivian is five feet from you, but you're too scared to say anything so you
just stare in amazement at her beauty. She can't see you staring because her flowing mane of brown
hair blocks her peripheral vision. It's 12:50pm and the bell rings, class is dismissed, Vivian turns to
you with her golden brown locks of hair and says "could I see your notes from Friday I was absent".
This is your biggest moment of your 16 1/2 year-old life, Vivian McCray is talking to me, Mr.
Can't Get a Date to the Prom. All you can do is respond with a high pitched "I think so". Vivian
quickly puts her hand over her nose like you just cut the cheese and says "I'll ask someone else".
The extra onions that you put on your burger during lunch just kicked in like a Kenne Bell supercharger and has sent Vivian McCray running for cover. This is not the Kodak moment that
you want.

Sometimes in life you come across a Vivian McCray and you have to seize the moment
and take advantage of the opportunity and not blow onion breath. The Shelby GT500 KR is
Vivian McCray, a fine piece of machinery with some very rare jewels.

The crown jewel of the KR, the carbon fiber hood was sold for $1,400.00 to a Shelby owner in Virginia, I hope he doesn't blow onion breath. It's sickening that a 2008 GT500 KR carbon fiber hood was sold for $1,400.00 and many Shelby owners would probably pay $6,000.00 for a KR hood without
even a second thought. Other parts from the KR was sold....no need for any more details it will make
you cry like you were chopping onions.

Other parts from this KR are floating around but Bangastang was fortunate to get our hands on the
carbon fiber Front Splitter....whew!!! The splitter is in excellent condition with no chips or road
rash and is now available from us. Here's the link GT500 KR Front Splitter New these KR Front
Splitters sell for $3,392.00 our price for blowing onion breath is $1,295.00.

Appreciate what you have and take care of whatever it may be and if you decide to order extra
onions may sure you have some mints afterward.

Would you dismantle a 2008 GT500KR and make it into a Widebody race car? We would like to
hear your opinion.

Midwest Auto Gear Closed

2011-01-08T08:21:00.000-08:00

Another manufacturer of Mustang accessories has closed their doors, Midwest Auto Gear is no longer
in business. MAG as they were known in the Mustang community had been around for several years
and produced many accessories for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustangs. Mirror covers, shock tower covers,
fuel rail covers, radiator extension covers and their very popular plenum cover were some of the products that most you have seen on late model Mustangs. If you own a S197 Mustang there is a good chance you have purchased at least one Midwest product or at least seen them.

It's no surprise with the current economy that another business has folded. It takes manpower, overhead, money and most of all sales to keep a business running. When the economy is tight buying $400 worth of Mustang accessories is not the first thing that comes to your mind, paying your mortgage and tuition are top priority.

When the economy is bad, small businesses catch hell; staff is reduced, production is reduced, new product development is stopped, advertising budget is slashed, inventory is limited and sales drop.
Overall a bad economy can mean disaster for any business, small or large and when the product
sold is not a necessity it usually doesn't get purchased.

I have no idea why Midwest Auto Gear closed down their business but I suspect this poor economy
was a major contributor. Another contributor may have been.....CHEAP Mustang parts. Anyone
that has purchased a MAG product will tell you it's top quality and made in the US. Your cheap
Mustang parts come from overseas usually from a Asian country, many times the quality is substandard but "it's cheaper". Too many people in this country buy based on "it's cheaper" attitude
with little regard for quality and the fact that the product is made overseas.

Ask yourself this question would you rather employ nine people in Taiwan at $1.00 per day or
12 people in the US at $15 an hour that help contribute to the economy of this country......answer
please? I know what my answer is, give me the US worker that lives here and pays taxes here,
that purchased a house and is sending their kids to private school in the US.

Now don't get this twisted EVERYONE has a right to buy from anyone and any where but let's
put some money into our economy and not some other country.

In the Oliver Stone film "Wall Street" there is a famous line "greed is good", for the US companies
that took their operations overseas to increase their profit margin.....SHAME on you. Just
imagine if those jobs were here in the US, maybe our economy would be booming and not in
the toilet.

Midwest Auto Gear you will be missed.

That's my two cents, what's yours?

Joe Gosinski Chicane Motorsports R.I.P.

2010-12-24T21:25:00.000-08:00

For those of you in Southern California that deal in late model Mustangs mod shops many of you
probably have met or heard of Joe Gosinski owner of Chicane Motorsports in Torrance. I
met Joe a few times and what impressed me about Joe was his passion and I mean passion
for American Muscle....Mustangs. Joe was very good at his craft and it showed. His shop
was cleaner than most hospitals and he was always working on something new that would
improve the performance of your Mustang.

The first time I met Joe was in 2008 at the Fabulous Fords Forever Show in Southern California
the next time we chatted was at a Mustang show and cruise that Joe organized , me and two of my Mustang buddies drove up from San Diego to his shop (Chicane Motorsports) in Torrance, CA.
We arrived early that morning before the vast majority of Mustang owners had returned from the
cruise, before we knew the street was filled with Mustangs and they kept coming. From the old
school classic '65 Mustangs up to the current Super Snake filled the street on in front of Chicane
Motorsports. If you were a Mustang lover you had a smile on your face that day Mustang owners
from SoCal showed up in large numbers for Joe's event. It's safe to say there were probably a few
hundred Mustangs in attendance that day. I attend several car shows a year and that was one of
the best I had attended; a reflection of Joe and his attention to detail.

I received a phone call today that Joe had been found murdered in his shop in Torrance, I thought
this must be a rumor gone bad but it wasn't. I thought maybe I was dreaming but I wasn't. I thought
it was an early April Fools joke but it wasn't. I thought Joe must be in the hospital recovering but
he wasn't.

Another talented person has left us too soon. We will not get a chance to hear that sax solo again.
We will not get to see that great open field tackle again. We will not get a chance to hear the next
album they were producing.

Joe Gosinski's life has been taken for reasons that are foreign to me. There are many foreign places
that I want to visit but this is not one of them.

The Mustang world, friends and family have lost a good one but I'm sure the chariots in heaven
just found a great tech.

Joe Gosinski our prayers are with you, your friends and family.

Do you have a story about Joe Gosinski please share it with us?

Jimmy the Crackhead

2010-12-20T15:58:00.000-08:00

For the 2005-2009 Mustang owner that's be been searching to find some new Mustang accessories and parts, we understand your frustration and we've felt your pain.....OUCH!

When the S197 Mustang was released in 2005 a flood gate of Mustang accessories opened and the race was on to outfit your Mustang GT or V6 with all the latest toys. Window louvers, side scoops, rear spoilers, window scoops, taillight panels, plenum covers and the list continued, but the new designs stopped.

Looking through the publications of Mustang magazines and attending several Mustang car shows a year you'll be hard pressed to find new Mustang accessories and parts. Hanging out at a Mustang show in search of fresh Mustang accessories is like watching a Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, you already know what's going to happen, but maybe you'll be entertained.

Some manufactures have got complacent and Mustang owners are bored out of their minds. Let's
be honest, your die hard car enthusiast is like a Crackhead looking to score their next hit. The old
smack is not doing it anymore. Jimmy the Crackhead is looking to score with some stuff that will
keep him on cloud nine for a month. Jimmy the Crackhead will surf the net until 3am looking to
score that new Mustang accessory that he has to have for his car show on Saturday. Jimmy the
Crackhead has no idea what's he's looking for, but he'll know it when he sees it. Twenty-five pages
into Google Jimmy the Crackhead finds his next hit of Mustang accessory.....a chrome strut tower
brace. Jimmy hits the "Buy Now" button and places his order, now the shipping option appears,
Ground, 3-4 days or Overnight, Jimmy selects Overnight. The flash chrome strut tower brace is
$199 and Overnight shipping from Maine to California is $250 for a grand total of $449. Jimmy
doesn't care he needs his fix. Two days later this chrome strut tower brace arrives via brown truck just
as the sun is setting. Jimmy rips open the box and lays his bloodshot eyes on his new drug.
The strut tower brace comes just in time as Jimmy's withdrawal symptons were starting to show.
Jimmy grabs his extension cord, work light and socket set and within fifteen minutes his strut is
installed on his Mustang and Jimmy has scored again.

As a manufacture of Mustang accessories and parts it's up to us to create new products for the Ford
Mustang that keep Mustang owners excited. We must be creative and not complacent.

Bangastang has several cool accessories for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang that are very different.
Our Mustang GT Plenum Cover, Whaletail spoiler, Roundtail spoiler, Mustang Front Splitter,
MGP Caliper Covers and our top seller Mustang Radiator Covers are Mustang accessories that will grab your attention because they're new and innovative.....just what the Mustang owner needs.

To see our selection of Mustang accessories and parts, visit our website www.bangastang.com

Do you have a story about yourself when you acted like Jimmy the Crackhead post and tell
us about it?

Mustang Parts Christmas Shopping

2010-12-14T23:50:00.000-08:00

It's now eleven days before Christmas and many of you are still trying to figure out what to buy for the
Mustang owner in your life. Maybe it's that Mustang carbon fiber armrest or the Mustang Window
Louvers that they keep lusting over on their neighbors Shelby GT500 or better yet our Bangastang Shelby GT500 Radiator Cover .........now hold your horses and and we do mean horsepower!

This is the time of year when last minute custom orders get a little haywire. "Oh please I need it for
my husband before Christmas, can't you speed up the order, he's been talking about this since May".
As much as we would like to make custom parts in two days it's pretty difficult especially when
your talking about a Mustang accessory that needs to be painted and painting takes time, even more
time when large quantities are involved. Some folks have a misconception when it comes to auto body
accessory painting, they assume if it's just one part it will be finished in 2-3 days.

Factor in the array of colors that were available for the Ford Mustangs from 2005-2011; we're talking close to 30 paint codes. Some of the colors available were Legend Lime, Grabber Orange, Tungsten Grey, Windveil Blue, Torch Red, Mineral Grey, Alloy, Redfire , Grabber Blue, Performance White and the list continues. When car accessories are painted they are painted in groups of the same color for
convenience and cost. A painter would much rather have three of a kind instead of a full house.
Paint guns can only store one mixture of paint at a time, they're not like your ball point pen that you
had in grade school which had four different colors of ink.....blue, black, red and green.

The paint process when do correctly takes time and involves three stages; prep, paint and finish. All of the stages takes time and can't be rushed, even during the Christmas shopping season. There are countless auto body shops with various levels of quality. When shopping for an auto body shop do not
based it on price but the quality of work and the materials that they use. Too many times people will
hire the least expensive company to do the job, what's the old saying "You get what you pay for". If
you paid someone $50.00 to paint your Mustang spoiler then you got a $50.00 paint job and more than likely you will have to pay a second time to have it done right.

So for all you late shoppers that are ordering painted Mustang products for your loved ones eleven days before Christmas, there is a good chance the elves will not have it finished in time to load on Santas' sled.

Ho Ho Ho.......MERRY CHRISTMAS from BANGASTANG!

The splitter is constructed of light weight carbon fiber and composites to keep the piece lightweight and extremely sturdy. There is no sacrificing strength for weight here, as these materials provide a serious durability and flexibility that plastics just can't compare to.

carbon fiber Shelby GT500 Radiator Cover

2010-05-14T20:37:00.000-07:00

One of the things that we strive to avoid is complacency when it comes to developing new products for
the late model Ford Mustangs. Watching paint dry is not one of my favorite things to do and seeing the
same old stuff on Mustang at car shows is an extreme case of complacency.

Bangastang makes it a priority to listen to our customers and take suggestions. After receiving several
requests we decided to release our GT500 Radiator Cover in carbon fiber. Shelby GT500 owners now
have another option. It doesn't matter if you have a KR, Super Snake, 40th Anniversary or a stock GT500 we've got some new toys for you. Our carbon fiber Radiator Cover is made from 2X2 twill
carbon fiber with a marine grade UV protected gel coat and it's made in the US.

Leach in Your Motor Oil

2010-05-10T21:22:00.000-07:00

How many of you in the automobile accessory business has heard the phrases "dude I'll help promote your stuff, I'll post on the forums, I do all the cars shows, once they see it on my car everyone will buy it, I can sell a ton of these". These are usually of bunch of lies, what they're really saying to you is "dude give me some free stuff, I'm too cheap to buy and everyone ignores me at car shows because I'm a know it all". I'm sure everyone in the business of selling accessories for cars has encountered more than their share of beggars looking to score some new free products. All I can say to you is don't walk, RUN it's one of the oldest tricks in the book and chances are good you are about to get taken for a ride.

The auto accessory business has it's share of leaches that hunt for sponsorships, press converage, prototype products, free wheels, stereos systems, discounts, custom paint jobs with promises of getting you exposure at the local car show. I've heard more than my share of stories from other aftermarket auto accessory shops who gave away products with promises of getting their product in the latest muscle car magazine. When the article didn't apppear excuses varied, the photo shoot never took place, they overslept and missed the car show, and the paint didn't get finished. Be careful of the leaches.

Don't allow anyone to represent your company unless they are a paid employee, don't give them any merchandise unless they sign a agreement stating they must make appearances at a certain number of scheduled car shows and above all make sure the person has a solid reputation and good character. Wolves come in all shapes and sizes and many times they disguise themselves as sheep and they bounce from shop to shop looking for free goods. RETAILER BEWARE!!!

Along with the leaches, they're are many good people that outweigh the bad, they may drive a beater
that needs a major overhaul or a Shelby GT convertible. We recently received an email from a
gentleman named Paul Smith, Mr. Smith was browsing our website and noticed a glitch on one of our
products. While trying to purchase one of our products Paul noticed that the checkout price came up $00.00........can you say "FREE STUFF". Paul was nice enough to not press the "buy now" but
instead wrote Bangastang a nice email informing us of our technical error. Paul's act showed us
that character and integrity is still alive and kicking. Thanks Paul, we're sending you a little
something for your Shelby GT.

Mr. Bangastang

Fabulous Fords Forever

2010-04-27T21:34:00.000-07:00

For those of you that are old enough to remember the Ed Sullivan show, one of Ed's favorite phrase was "tonight we have a really big show". Anyone that attended the Fabulous Ford Forever show knows it's a really big show that is filled with Fords from all the years. Knotts as we Ford enthusiast call it is always a special day and most of us prepare for weeks and sometimes months in advance.

This year the weather was perfect with sunny skies and bearable temperatures. Last year it was hot enough to melt most people and many folks have not been seen since attending Knotts last year....wonder what happened to them?

This year I was happy to see Steve Saleen and his new 2010 Saleen Mustang....it's a hot car and I hope
he sells a bunch of them. I've always been a big fan of the Saleen Mustang and their styling.

The S197 Mustangs were in full effect and the 2007-2009 Shelby GT500 actually filled up their section this year. There was a lot of venom in the Shelby section and many of the GT500 owners were sporting Bangastang gear. Our hot selling GT500 Radiator Cover was quite visible on GT500s and Super Snakes and our newly released carbon fiber was revealed to the public for the first time.

Super Snake w/ Bangastang Radiator Cover

Super Snake w/ Bangastang carbon fiber
Radiator Cover

Now like most people a day of walking around the Knotts show has your feet aching but it doesn't
matter because you seen some of the coolest Fords on the planet. The bottow line is you will be
back next year and the year after that because it's Knotts and it's a really big show.

Fabulous Fords Forever aka Knotts

2010-04-09T23:15:00.000-07:00

Listen my children and you will hear the late night sounds of a gearhead. Every year this time members of the Ford family stay up late plotting their grand entrance to the greatest Ford show in Southern California....."Fabulous Ford Forever" better known as Knotts. For than 2,000 owners of Ford made vehicles will converge on Knotts Berry Farm for a day filled with detail spray, redline tires, C-4 transmissions, Toploaders, Philco radios, Goodyear Polyglass tires and enough wax to slid from San Diego to Hong Kong.

Knotts is like the Super Bowl to any Ford owner that loves a good car show. Every vehicle ever made
by Ford will be on hand at Knotts from the Model A to the Ford Fusion. You will be able to see up close and personal some of the baddest Fords in one spot. Bring your walking shoes and camera with spare batteries with a good size flash card, trust me you will take many pictures.

For those that will participate in Knotts here's a tip, if you haven't ordered that part yet forget it IT'S TOO LATE. Take it from someone that has been there and done it. Trying to find that one off accessory for your Mustang a week before the show and ordering it three days before Knotts and expecting to get it in time for Knotts WILL NOT HAPPEN. Look Gearheads, haven't you heard of Murphy's Law whatever can happen will. Everybody and their mother will order the same stuff for their 2004 Terminator and that billet piece will be out of stock in two days. So if you waited the last minute again to buy those custom made billet wheels they will probably arrive a day after Knotts.

Here's my suggestion, if you don't have all your parts by now, don't email the retailer ever day asking them "what's the status of my order?" I can tell you they are too busy trying to answer phone calls and
emails and shipping out a $5.00 part via priority shipping that cost $35.00 to ship because you have a car show on Saturday. Planning is the key not procrastination. Remember your lack of planning does not constitute and emergency for someone else. Telling a retailer that you have a car show on Sunday
is like telling the Mother Superior in catholic school that your dog ate your homework. Good try but.

For those of you looking for some smoking deals on Mustang and Fairlane parts at the last minute
the folks at California Mustang in the City of Industry California is having a BIG sale the day before
the Knotts show. Bring your pick-up, SUV, skateboard and load up with some gear for your whip.
They will be more than happy to sell you some gear for your Ford just in time for the Fabulous Fords
Forever show, so you can stay up until 3am putting that starter on your '64 Falcon then turn around
and get up at 6am just in time make it to Knotts the next morning.

See you at Knotts and please bring some brownies I'll bring the strawberries.

Shelby GT500 KR Radiator Cover

2010-03-26T00:26:00.000-07:00

There are some cars that come with all the trimmings like the Shelby GT500 KR know to some as the King of the Road. When the Shelby GT500 came back on the scene in 2007, Mustang enthusiasts from all ages rushed down down to their local Ford dealer and placed their orders. Many of them waited several months and sometimes over a year to take delivery of their GT500. A close friend of mine waited 18 months to get his GT500, I'll tell his story later. Shelby decided to make a few models
GT500, GT, 40th Anniversary, Hertz, Super Snake and the KR. All of the Shelbys have some
distinct features that not all of them carry but the KR is a very rare Pony.

Sticker price or should I say dealer price on a KR was over $100,000. The first KR that I saw on the dealer floor was listed at $182,000......THIS IS NOT A TYPO. $182,000 large. I took some of my Mustang buddies down to the dealership so they could see for themselves, the look on their faces was a Kodak moment when they saw the asking price, $182,000.....large bills please. All of us thought the dealership was crazy and smoking some serious crack but we stared at the KR wishing we had the cheddar to buy one. Owning one of these would be better than being King for a Day in grade school, better than any dinger I hit playing high school baseball, better than my moms liver smothered with gravy and onions and even better than........well, I won't go that far but you get the point. The KR was off the chain with it's carbon fiber accessories, color scheme and the fact that it's a KR.

Production numbers for the KR are low under 1,200 which makes it that much desirable it's like the Mustang, "Eleanor" in the film "Gone in 60 Seconds" Nicolas Cage's character just had to have that
car at all cost.

If I owned a KR I would probably be scared to drive it in fear that something would happen to it,
like some 16 year-old texting while driving slamming into my rearend. Or a runaway shopping cart filled with cement bags rolling into my door at my local Home Depot and leaving a dent the size of
a soccer ball. I'm sure I would eventually get over my fear, you buy a car to drive not sit in a garage and admire it.

The Shelby GT500 KR has a lot of carbon fiber trimmings....front splitter, mirror cover and rocker panels. KR owners didn't have much to choose from in terms of aftermarket accessories until
now. Bangastang has released our Radiator Cover for the GT500 KR, this has been a long time in
development but the KR owners needed some love to.

Shown here painted in Satin Silver with blue stripes, our Radiator Cover for the Shelby KR
also has a cutout for the CSM plate and is designed to fit with the Ford Racing Cold Air Intake.
Bangastang also offers the KR Radiator Cover in Torch Red with Satin Silver Stripes as well as
Black with matte black stripes.

If you're going to own a King of the Road why not treat yourself like a King or Queen. When you
show up at car show with a Bangastang Radiator Cover and pop your hood just make sure that everyone is wearing sunglasses because the brightness may blind them.

Eliminating the factory hood prop on your Ford Mustang is a good way of cleaning up the engine bay
on your 2005-2009 Mustang. For the 205-2009 Mustang owner there is a simple solution...Hood Struts. Installing a pair of Mustang Hood Struts should take you less than 45 minutes and requires basic hand tools and no drilling is required.

Some of you may remember when most cars didn't have hood props but used springs that were used
with hinges to support the weight of the hood, the springs were large and heavy. Car manufacturers
in the effort to save weight got rid of the bulky spring system and replace it with a lightweight metal
prop rod which saved several pounds.

Bangastang carries Mustang Hood Struts by Cal Pony Cars, the CPC Mustang Hood struts attach to
existing holes on your Mustang. The best part about the CPC Mustang Hood Struts is they're available
in several OEM 2005-2009 Mustang colors. Torch Red, Windveil Blue, Grabber Orange, Vista Blue
Black to name a few. A natural satin finish is also available. Bangastang carries Mustang Hood Struts for the 2005-2009 Mustangs and Shelby GT500 Prices start at $120.00

For the 2005-2009 Mustang owner that's be been searching to find some new Mustang accessories and parts, we understand your frustration and we've felt your pain.....OUCH!

When the S197 Mustang was released in 2005 a flood gate of Mustang accessories opened and the race was on to outfit your Mustang GT or V6 with all the latest toys. Window louvers, side scoops, rear spoilers, window scoops, taillight panels, plenum covers and the list continued, but the flood gate
slowed and new designs became scarce.

Looking through the publications of Mustang magazines and attending several Mustang car shows a year you'll be hard pressed to find new Mustang accessories and parts. Hanging out at a Mustang show in search of fresh Mustang accessories is like watching a Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, you already know what's going to happen but maybe you'll be entertained.

Some manufactures have got complacent and Mustang owners are bored out of their minds. Let's
be honest, your die hard car enthusiast is like a Crackhead looking to score their next hit. The old
smack is not doing it anymore. Jimmy the Crackhead is looking to score with some stuff that will
keep him on cloud nine for a month. Jimmy the Crackhead will surf the net until 3am looking to
score that new Mustang accessory that he has to have for his car show on Saturday. Jimmy the
Crackhead has no idea what's he's looking for, but he'll know it when he sees it. Twenty-five pages
into Google Jimmy the Crackhead finds his next hit of Mustang accessory.....a chrome strut tower
brace. Jimmy hits the "Buy Now" button and places his order, now the shipping option appears,
Ground, 3-4 days or Overnight, Jimmy selects Overnight. The flashy chrome strut tower brace is
$199 and Overnight shipping from Maine to California is $250 for a grand total of $449. Jimmy
doesn't care he needs his fix. Two days later this chrome strut tower brace arrives via brown truck just
as the sun is setting. Jimmy rips open the box and lays his bloodshot eyes on his new drug.
The strut tower brace comes just in time as Jimmy's withdrawal symptons were starting to show.
Jimmy grabs his extension cord, work light and socket set and within fifteen minutes his strut brace is
installed on his Mustang and Jimmy has scored again.

Mustang Battery and Master Cylinder Cover

2010-02-21T12:56:00.000-08:00

The Mustang Battery and Master Cylinder Cover from CPC is the most under-rated '05-'10 Mustang accessory to hit the market. Since 2005 when the S197 Mustang body style was released the
majority of the accessories manufactured for the retro Mustang were for the exterior or interior,
accessories for the Mustang's engine bay were few.

For the '05-'10 Mustang owner that competes in car shows, dressing up your engine is vital when it
comes to gaining points from the judges. A engine bay that has been outfitted with dress-up
accessories and detailed will gain a great deal of attention. Too many times the engine bay is
overlooked in the detailing process. Oil stains, road grit, water spots and frayed wiring is
common place in the engine bays on the show car circuit. A dirty engine is a sure way to loose
potential points when competing in car shows.

The Mustangs' engine bay has many areas that can be dressed up with some nice accessories.
Plenum covers, fuse box cover, fuel rail covers, throttle body covers, billet engine caps
and radiator covers are some of the engine dress up accessories on the market today for the
late model Ford Mustang. Available in a wide variety of materials such as carbon fiber,
injection molded plastic, billet aluminum and fiberglass. Painted, polished, powder
coated, anodized or chromed are some of your finish options.

There are two components in the Mustang's engine bay that need some attention....the battery
and master cylinder. Let's face it, looking at a battery and master cylinder is about as
exciting as watching paint dry.....BORING! The folks with CPC (Cal Pony Cars) came up
with a very innovative product, a Battery and Master Cylinder Cover. A cover you say, yes.
Made from ABS injection molded plastic the Cal Pony Cars Mustang Battery and Master
Cylinder Cover attaches to your cowl and covers your battery and master cylinder for a OEM
look. The installation process takes under 30 minutes and all you need is a Philips head
screw driver. The CPC Mustang Battery and Master Cylinder Covers retail for $89.00.

Now for the you Mustang owners that likes to take is up another notch Bangastang will
custom paint the battery and master cylinder covers to match your Mustang. Painting
the covers will really add some bling to your engine bay. Many of our customers have
even added decals and badges to give their battery and maser cylinder covers a more custom
look. Use your imagination I'm sure you can come up with something really cool our customers
sure did.

Just a side note the CPC Battery and Master Cylinder Covers were designed to work with

their hood struts, using other brands of hood struts can cause rubbing against the covers.

For the Shelby GT500 owners, Bangastang will trim the master cylinder cover to fit around

your supercharger throttle body for a $10.00 charge.

Mustang Front Splitter

2010-02-18T11:23:00.000-08:00

Adding a Front Splitter to your 2005-2009 Mustang GT will enhance the look of your Mustang, by giving it a more a aggressive look. A Front Splitter also is a performance upgrade because it increases
the downforce of airflow to your front fascia while reducing the turbulence under the car.

If you've ever seen a NASCAR vehicle up close you couldn't help to notice the large Front Splitter that all of them have on their cars. Aerodynamics plays a big role in the handling of a car and and race teams will spend long hours in a windtunnel doing R&D to insure their cars are aerodynamically sound.

There are a few Mustang Front Splitters on the market for the '05-'09 Mustang GT, most of them are
made of fiberglass which makes them lightweight. Our Front Splitters from Bangastang attach around
the lower fascia and mounts using existing holes, using two screws, there are no holes to drill or
3M tape to use. Along the lower fascia of a '05-'09 Mustang GT is a lip with a ridge, our Mustang
Front Splitters snap on over the ridge and around the corners of the bumper. Our Bangastang Front Splitters are designed to fit your Mustang GT securely without the hassle of drilling holes into your body, installation takes twenty minutes.

Mustang Side Scoops

2010-02-14T12:45:00.000-08:00

In 1964 my family traveled to New York City to visit my grandmother. I was four-years old at the time and remember how big everything was in New York. One of the tourists attractions that my family saw while in New York was the World's Fair in Flushing Meadows New York. On April 17th 1964 the Ford Mustang was unveiled to the public at the World's Fair, and I was there. My dad worked for the Ford Motor Company River Rouge plant, located just outside Detroit. I'm sure my dad was very proud that day when the Mustang made its' debut, but had no idea that he and his co-workers would play a such a major part in the success of the Mustang.

When the Ford Mustang was released in 1964 it set the automotive world on fire. One of the advertising slogans that Ford used to describe the Mustang called it "The Car You Always Promised Yourself". The slogan proved itself correct as 22,000 orders were placed for the Mustang within days of its' debut. Within the year Ford had sold over 400,000 Mustangs.

The 1964 1/2 Mustang was a combination of parts from the Ford Falcon and Fairlane but a body style of its' own. Available with a 170 cubic inch straight six engine, 260 cubic inch V8 or the 289 cubic inch Hi-Po. The vast majority of '64 1/2 Mustang were purchased with six cylinder engines.

In August 1964 a very young Ford executive named Lee Iococca placed a call to Carroll Shelby asking him to build a high performance Mustangs that could hold its' own on the track and street. Shelby was reluctant but agreed to build the cars. The Shelby GT350 was unveiled on January 27th 1965. The sticker price for the Shelby GT350 was $4,547.00 which wasn't attractive to your average car buyer while the sticker price for the base Mustang was $2,500.00. The Shelby GT350 wasn't a hit in terms of sales but it was a hit on the track.

The '65 Shelby GT350 has several performance upgrades including a high rise manifold, holly carburetor, 4 speed manual transmission, side exhaust pipes with two-inch Glasspak mufflers, trunk mounted battery, fiberglass hood with functional scoop, deleted rear seat for weight savings and 15 inch wheels. One of the exterior modifications were Side Brake Scoops which were functional and included air ducts to cool the rear brakes. Side Brake Scoops on a domestic car was very new territory. The first side scoops that came on the GT350 were made from fiberglass. Not all the the '65 GT350 were fitted with Side Brake Scoops.

Having the capacity to cool the brakes on a race car was very important to insure brake reliability and the Mustang Side Scoops were a vital part in the performance of the GT350.

Functional Brake Side Scoops have become a thing of the past on the Ford Mustang and have been replaced by the Mustang Side Scoops that are cosmetic. When the 2005 Mustang was released, aftermarket Mustang accessories flooded the market, everything from spoilers, hood scoops, mirror covers, window louvers, window scoops and Mustang side scoops were quickly added to the Mustangs to bring about the old school retro look.

There are several brands of Mustang Side Scoops on the market today for the '05-'10 Mustang some of the brands are Xenon, Willpack, Ford, 3D Carbon, Street Scene and Cervini. Most of the Mustang Side Scoops manufactured today are made from urethane, injection molded plastic and some are made from fiberglass. Selecting a Mustang Side Scoop for your Stang may take a while because of the wide selection and your budget. Not all Mustang Side Scoops are created equal.

Installation is pretty simple provided you follow the directions and take your time. The most important factor when installing Mustang Side Scoops is temperature. The vast majority of Mustang Side Scoops on the market are installed using 3M double-sided tape. The outdoor temperature needs to be at least 65 degrees for the 3M tape to bond. If your Mustang is sitting in the garage and it's the middle of winter it's probably not a good idea to install side scoops using 3M tape, there is a good chance the tape will not bond, which could cause your side scoops to fall off while driving...not a good thing. Now let's assume it's a 80 degree day and you're ready to put your scoops on, your first step is to clean the surface where your side scoops will be attached. Using soap and water clean the area of all dirt and grime and let dry. As added insurance use some household rubbing alcohol and wipe the surface to remove any wax residue. Here's a tip before installing any accessory using 3M double-sided tape, visit your local auto paint supply store and pick up a bottle or Promoter. Promoter is a clear liquid that acts like a super glue to help the adhesion process of the 3M tape. We highly recommend using Promoter when applying accessories that attaches with 3M tape. Okay now, it's time to lay that side scoop on your rear quarter panel but first do a test fit to make sure you line up the scoop properly it might be a good idea use a grease pencil and mark the lines where the scoops needs to go. Remove the backing on the 3M tape and apply a light coat of promoter to the 3M tape surface, be careful not to spill any promoter on your car it will stain your paint. Push the scoops
onto your quarter panel making sure the 3M tape makes contact with all the edges. Do not drive your Mustang for several hours, you need to allow the 3M tape to bond to the surface of your Mustang. As much as you would like to show off your newly installed side scoops to your Mustang buddy across town don't, give your scoops sometime to dry, you'll be glad you did.

The car show scene varies from state to state. On the east cost if your hood is not open your car will not even be considered for voting. The judges will pass you by without taking a second look at your car no matter how sharp the paint job.

MGP Caliper Covers

2010-02-05T20:57:00.000-08:00

Two years ago while attending a Car Cruise Night in Chula Vista California I saw a 2007 Mustang GT with what I thought was a set of big brakes behind the factory 18X9 Bullitt wheels. After stopping the
owner of the car and asking him what kind of brakes he had the owner explained to me that his Mustang had Caliper Covers not big brakes. My first thought was....what Caliper Covers! I had never seen anything like this, a cover for the brake caliper. The owner of the Mustang explained to me that his neighbor had been working on the product for a few years. Well curiosity got the best of me and I gave the owner my business card to pass on to his neighbor. That evening while sitting at home I wondered what an innovative car accessory.

Two days later I received a phone call from Mike Barland President of MGP Caliper Covers who invited me down to his manufacturing facility outside of San Diego California. My first impression of Mike Barland was a man that thinks outside of the box. Barland has an extensive background in manufacturing that dates back two generations in his family. Barland has manufactured everything from golf clubs to aerospace parts. After talking with Barland for a few hours I agreed to have a set of MGP Caliper Covers installed on my 2006 Mustang GT. Now I will admit I was a little apprehensive about having a such a new product installed on my Mustang but Barland told me he had been working on the product for a few years and there was no need to worry.

After rolling out a floor jack, a lug wrench and a feeler gauge the Caliper Covers were on my Mustang
in less than an hour. I've installed many aftermarket parts on numerous cars but I don't think I've
ever seen such an easy installation. The MGP Caliper Covers attach with a metal clips and some screws. You would wonder how can you attach a cover to a brake caliper, MGP does wihout using special glue or any drilling.

Next was the road test, which took a few minutes at various speeds. No noise, no rubbing and no drama. The covers were on with no hiccups.

What impressed me the most about the MGP Caliper Covers were the way they made my wheels pop
with color. The Caliper Covers are made from 6061 T-6 aluminum are powder coated and
available in three finishes red, black and satin. For the car enthusiast that really wants some bling
MGP will even custom paint or engrave the Caliper Covers to your desire.

Now here's the question for the car enthusiast....why buy a set of MGP Caliper Covers? Here's the
answer.....it's a dress up accessory. Just like a set of window louvers, a hood scoops or rear spoiler
Caliper Covers are just another way to dress up your car. Let face it brake calipers are not the most
appealing part of car especially after suffering from winter salt and other elements. Some people
chose to paint their brake calipers. From personal experience painting your brake calipers takes several hours for prepping and painting, the durability of brake caliper paint is very short lived.

MGP Caliper Covers first designed Caliper Covers for the 2005-2009 Ford Mustang but their
product line now includes Corvette, Nissan 350Z, BMW, Saturn Sky, Chrysler 300, Magnum,
Charger, Challenger, GMC SUVs and many other vehicles.

MGP has also secured licensing from Ford Motor Company as well as GM. So you Mustang
owners that would like the Mustang logo on your Caliper Covers MGP can provide that for you.

It's been two year since the MGP Caliper Covers were installed on my Mustang and they have been trouble free.

Mustang Window Louvers

2010-02-05T19:10:00.000-08:00

There are many ways to customize your 2005-2010 Mustang and the list is long for accessories. Many Mustang enthusiast start with the exterior of their Pony because installing many of the accessories is quite simple and affordable. Installing a set of Window Louvers on your S197 brings back the retro look of the 60's Mustangs and can take less than an hour to install.

Window Louvers attach to your rear quarter glass on your Mustang and in most cases have slotted fins which allow you to see out of your side rear window. Many Mustang owners prefer window louvers over window scoops because they allow you to see through your side rear window.

Having spoken to several Mustang owners with small kids that ride in the back of their Mustang they will tell you that small kids like louvers better because they can they can see all the sites while cruising in the family Mustang.

The vast majority of Mustang Window Louvers on the market attach with adhesive tape. Some people may be skeptical about using adhesive tape to attach a automotive accessory but 3M which makes many of the double sided tapes for the automotive industry makes a great product. The key to securing a good bond with the 3m tape is cleaning the surface properly. Before installing the Window Louvers it is imperative that you clean the surface area where you're going to mount the louvers from all dirt, oil or wax. Soap, water and a alcohol prep wipe will usually do the trick. Clean the area with some soapy water, rinse and let dry. Follow up with the alcohol prep wipe or a cotton ball and some alcohol out of your medicine cabinet will do the job.

Another product that will make for a secure installation is called promoter, not a record promoter but a chemical promoter. Promoter when applied to 3M double sided tape acts like a super glue. Let me warn you about promoter it's very strong and you don't want spill it on your paint. You can pick up a small bottle of promoter at your local auto body paint supply store and the bottle comes with a brush applicator. Here's another point make sure that you install your Mustang Window Louvers in no less than 60 degree temperature. 3M tape does not like cold temperature and a cold surface will not bond well.

After you've cleaned up the area where you want to attach your louvers do a test fit and place your louvers on your side windows to see that everything lines up. Remove the protective film from the 3M tape apply the promoter and place your louvers in the desired area. Make sure you apply even pressure to the edges where the 3M tape is. It's a good idea to not drive your Mustang for several hours while the 3M tape cures, you don't want your louvers flying off your Mustang on the freeway.

Carbon Fiber Mustang GT Front Splitter

2010-01-31T21:53:00.000-08:00

2007 was a few years ago and '05-'09 Mustang GT owners have been wanting something new for their Stangs. So your question is what does the year 2007 have to do with the '05-'09 Mustang GT, it's the year the Shelby GT500 was released. When the Shelby GT500 was released Mustang GT owners were green with envy and many of them traded in their GTs to become a member of the Shelby fold. Many GT owners even went as far as cloning their cars to look like a GT500. Close but no cigar.

The Front Splitter of the GT500 became a desire for many Mustang GT owners. But a GT500 Front Splitter does not fit a Mustang GT without some major modifications. Finally Mustang GT owners

Project 321 Mustang Billet Caps

2010-01-20T00:37:00.000-08:00

Having seen a great deal of products for the '05-'10 Ford Mustangs some of the current accessories are just variations of other products or poor imitations of good ones. One of the companies that comes out way in front of the competition is a company called Project 321. I first got the opportunity to see some of their products two years ago while attending SEMA and what I saw made me realize that there are some folks that still take design and pride to another level while others sit on their thumbs just waiting for another ad to hit 5.0 and show some sub par product that designed over a case of beer.

Project 321 is one of those companies that doesn't sit around drinking beer while designing products
but probably smokes a fine Cuban cigar after they create one of their masterpieces. Project 321 has
designed some very top quality billet engine pieces for the '05 and current Ford Mustang and Shelby.
Project 321 has taken a very simple part like an engine oil cap and made it fine art. While the vast majority of billet engine caps on the market are simple covers that fit over the OEM caps Project
321 has taken the extra step to design a actual engine cap that replaces the OEM cap....finally something different and unique that sets a new standard. It's not just the fact that they designed an
actual replacement cap but the design and finish is exceptional, instead of your typical polished or
chrome finish Project 321 went with a anodized finish that is then CNC cut. Several anodized colors are available to match the different colors of the Ford Mustangs including red, black, blue among others. The detail on these caps resemble something that you may see in a NASA space shuttle or
more so a Bentley.

Bangastang.com appreciates builders and designers like the staff at Project 321 and welcome the
opportunity to carry such a product that shows what creativity is about.

New product for Mustangs

2010-01-13T19:16:00.000-08:00

As a longtime Ford Mustang enthusiast and an owner of a 2006 Mustang GT I've been a little frustrated with the shortage of new Mustang accessories. I attend countless cars show and needless to say I see the same Mustang parts everywhere. The same rear ducktail spoilers, front chin spoilers, mustang window louvers, boring plenum cover, side scoops and bullit style wheels. After five years you would think that someone would come up with something new for the S197 Mustangs. Finally I've come across a company that makes some new Mustang accessories....Bangastang.com. I've been hearing about Bangastang on Mustang forums and most recently in some of the Mustang magazines like 5.0 Mustang and Shelby. I've been most impressed with the different products that they make for the 2005-2009 Mustang GT. Mustang Accessories like front splitters, whaletail spoilers, a spoiler called a Roundtail that has carbon fiber, a radiator cover for both the Shelby GT500 and the Mustang GT/V6. Now I heard about a new plenum cover for the Mustang GT that I've never seen before and I can tell you it's a breath of fresh air from the old stuff that has been around for five years. The plenum cover from Bangastang is pretty nice and comes painted to match with the GT letters. Here's a photo of their plenum cover. Here's a link to the Bangastang website
