Just went to Facebook to put my ass to sleep and this is literally the first thing I see!
🔧 BUILD Sprayin's 2013 Mustang GT

Man I don’t know. I believe mine would have lived much longer if I didn’t go with the clutch I did. Even so, blowing it up around 900rwhp doesn’t make me mad. Mine was absolutely awesome until the Spec clutch.
Oh I know Brett I didn’t take that the wrong way at all. My car would definitely be a good half second faster than I’ve currently ran if it was auto.
I’m sure you’ll never have an issue with what you do with it. People way overstate how bad the mt82 is. Buncha non driving women that need autos
FYI my 2013 was much, much better to drive after putting it on full Steeda suspension. Had their Sport springs and pro-something shocks/Struts. The factory Track Pack suspension straight up sucks. The Steeda was better in literally every way, whether on street or on track. More comfortable, less dive/pitch/roll, more predictable, just better everywhere. Upgrading the clutch helped it be less frustrating as well since you could finally shift at redline without issues.
I gotta say you guys are nuts. My stock MT82 has went 11.20 @ 123 on slicks and shifts like buttah. I did install a real shifter and the Calimer cocktail which made a hyuuuuge difference. Yeah the S197 is raw, but that's what I love about it. I'm pushing 50 now and driving my 10 year old heap makes me feel like a kid again. That being said, no way I'd drive that bitch every day. It's loud, rides like a stagecoach, but I can still fuck up 95% of cars that want to FAFO and that makes me smile. My commute is 70 miles round trip and I try to drive it to work 2-3 times a week now that I switched back to 93 for winter.
Wife took the DD out of town for the weekend, so I had to use the Mustang. Annnnnnddddd it's snowing. Pretty hard here. Who said Mustangs can't handle the snow? Thing was super stable, even on these country ass roads out here that aren't taken care of. Gunna be 50 this week so I'll get all the gunk hosed off of it then.
The one blemish that this thing has always had thag drives me nuts is on the rear decklid. Ford out these panels on there for the faux fuel cap to snap into. For whatever reason, the paint is baked around the edges of this one. See the photo below.
Trying to decide what to do with it. I tried putting on a decal and it looked bad. So I scraped that idea. My options are:
1. Get it repainted. This is probably the most expensive option.
2. Buy one off of a part out vehicle. Cons on that are that tabs may be broken or not in great shape. Probably in the $150-200 range.
Both of the above options would keep it gloss black. Which I have mixed opinions about. If the car wasn't black I would have replaced it with something flat black a long time ago.
3. Get one of these styled pieces that changes the look. This is the one I was possibly thinking.

It looks decent in the photos but I can't tell if it looks too ricer or too dumb looking. haven't seen it in photos, or would know if it cheapens the look significantly.
Anyone have any opinions on what they like best?

Would look fine!
You gotta admit, some of the mods they make for this generation of Mustang are TERRIBLE.

I think it looks so weird without the faux gas cap. Maybe salvageable if it had an emblem back there like the S550 did. But didn't see that as an option.
I wanna do the GT500 wing but none of them come painted, and I don't wanna have to try to get it painted just for a spoiler.
I agree the car needs the faux cap my Roush had it blacked out with Roush badge and it had a Roush wing.
American Muscle still sells the color matched GT500 spoiler: https://www.americanmuscle.com/painted-gt500-rear-spoiler-1012.html
I remember seeing that in the past but couldn't find it last I looked. Thanks!
Anyone make this change? I've wanted to do this for a while. I just cringe at the idea of cutting up the bumper, even if the lines are already there to cut along. It looks so much better this way.
Also, haven't heard the GT500 mufflers on a [otherwise stock exhaust] Coyote. But I remember a lot of people doing it in the past.
On just about every Mustang I've owned, I've kept the stock mufflers. I like the sound much better than the annoyingly loud aftermarket mufflers. So a little hesitant on that side too.
As beast said, the GT500 mufflers are a great upgrade from stock, and keep a great tone and volume. I ran them on mine and coupled them with GT500 axle pipes (no resonators) and a off road mid. I think way way back, dyno test showed like 2-3rhp from aftermarket units that were pretty much straight through
I’m shocked u have this car I would have thought u would be in a 20-22 GT and just kept it stock.
