My dogs now are totally different between the two. They are 85 and 105 lbs, so they are not in the sports cars. But in the trucks, Princess loves drives and sits in the front and watches everything. Ochi lays in the back and often gets car sick.
Yeah right now he can't handle being in the car at all. He gets a massive panic attack and tries desperately to escape. So having him completely loose would be too dangerous. Hoping this helps him start to feel more comfortable so we can work on reducing how scared he gets and then eventually maybe try without anything.

Interesting. I've had dogs my entire life except when in college (and even then I had a dog at home). I've never had one that didn't love to ride in a car. Usually it's the opposite, it's hard to keep them out of it.

If our current Newfie comes out to the garage and you have the door open she tries to climb in both the Mustang and the FRS.

Upgraded and refreshed the brakes.

DBA 5000 2-piece rotors in the front
Centric high-carbon blanks in the rear
Hawk HP+ pads on both ends
Stoptech STR600 fluid

Brakes feel and work way better than OEM. Getting a little bit of squeal, but it was expected.

Wasn’t today but retrofitted a 2017+ cluster. I’m loving it but I wish the oil temp readout was a bit more exact.

Thanks for the DIY video @thekevinvo!

I noticed in this kit that the light is shifted more rearwards along with being lowered. Is there still plenty of room between the glass and the light?

Always thought the 3rd brake light mount looked ridiculous on the first gens. I'm sure its 'elevation' has something to do with a law about minimum height above the existing brake light, or minimum height above the factory spoiler, and this was just a cheaper alternative to putting an LED Strip at the top of the window (which would have not only looked 100% better, but been much more effective from a safety standpoint, given how low these cars are)..

I just checked and the rear most edge of the light is in contact with the glass but the gap opens up as you move towards the front of the car. Hopefully it won't be another rattle source, it's pretty tight though. I had to press down on the felt deck to get a piece of paper to slide between the light and the glass on that rear edge.

Agreed. An integrated top mounted light strip would have been much nicer, and better visibility as well.
