Kept #5 (white ‘15 v6 vert) since that one is fine for New England winters and a great daily. Also whatever type of pzeros they put on this are insane. Was about to be the first time since I was 16 that I didn’t own a Mustang and this ‘25 Dark Horse came up for sale w/ 2k miles in late May of this year. I was going to buy ‘something practical’ but I’d been watching it like a sicko hoping they’d keep dropping the price. It hit the ballpark area last weekend along with another one at a different dealer nearby. I went in a few times to try and work something out. Worked it out and now it’s in the driveway.

Obv im very far from the first person to get one but wow, what a car. We don’t have these around here, I’ve maybe seen 2 ever. Rarely see GT’s, EB’s occasionally but not common. You’ll see Mach E’s though fairly often. Super impressed so far though. The DH is more practical too than I first thought. I couldn’t believe the seats fold down, literally the reason I bought it and what sold me. I’ve only had convertibles and forgot the coupes had bigger trunks. This one has every possible option but I would have preferred it didn’t have the recaro’s and had the factory seats but w.e. Really pumped to get a cpl months out of it before winter hibernation. Each one before it has had a long healthy life not plowing into crowds losing control after leaving cars and coffee and this one will be no different.

💬 Discussion Brembo to Shelby: Giving My GT350 Calipers a Custom Look!

Thumbnail
gallery
56 Upvotes

I wanted to change up the look of my Shelby GT350 and make the brake calipers stand out a little more, so I decided to paint them and rebrand them with custom Shelby decals to cover the factory Brembo lettering. It's a relatively straightforward way to personalize the car and give it a more custom appearance without going overboard.

Here's the basic process I followed for anyone thinking about doing something similar:

🛠️ The Process

  1. Remove the wheels and calipers. Pull the wheels to access the brake calipers and remove the calipers as needed to paint them properly. Make sure everything is safely supported and follow the appropriate service procedure.

  2. Remove the brake pads and mask everything off. Take out the pads and carefully tape off any areas you don't want painted. Cover the surrounding suspension components, rotors, brake lines, and other nearby parts with paper or plastic to prevent overspray from getting where it doesn't belong.

  3. Clean and prep the calipers. Use brake cleaner and a suitable degreaser to remove brake dust, grease, and other contaminants. Proper preparation is key to getting a clean finish and helping the paint adhere.

  4. Choose your color and paint. Pick a color that complements your car and make sure you use paint specifically rated for the high temperatures brake calipers experience. Apply multiple coats for full, even coverage, allowing each coat to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  5. Apply custom decals. You can purchase custom decals or have some made to your specifications. I went with Shelby lettering to cover up the factory Brembo branding and give the calipers a more cohesive GT350 look.

  6. Seal everything with clear coat. Once the paint is fully dry and the decal is applied, use multiple compatible coats of high-temperature clear coat to seal the decal and help protect it from peeling, brake dust, and the elements. Follow the product's recommended curing times before reassembly.

  7. Reinstall everything. Once the finish has fully cured, reinstall the calipers and brake pads according to the manufacturer's specifications. Reinstall the wheels and torque the lug nuts to the correct factory specification. Make sure the brakes are properly assembled and functioning before driving.

The Finished Look

I chose Shelby decals because this project was done on my Shelby GT350, and I wanted the calipers to match the car's identity rather than leave the factory Brembo branding visible.

It's a small modification, but details like this can make a car feel more personal and help it stand out from the crowd and I get loads of questions and compliments on them!

Now I'm curious to see what everyone else has done!

  • Have you painted your brake calipers or added custom decals?
  • What other modifications have you made to improve the stock look of your car?
  • Have you customized anything that makes your build unique without going too crazy?

Drop your pictures in the comments! I'd love to see your projects, custom touches, and creative ways you've made your car stand out.

I have a 67 mustang, but it was a one-year-only production for its steering system, and I cannot find a new steering wheel in the original aqua color.

Upgraded from 2002 Mustang convertible. New one feels easier to control, 2002 just wanted to drive, felt like I was constantly hitting the breaks.

Stick also fun to drive. Eco boost feels like a responsible move too, feeling good

Anyone wanna buy my old car? Haha

Has literally everything I want but I've never had alcantara seat inserts so that's the only thing concerning me. From what I've read alcantara seats can get dirty if not maintained. Im going to test drive it this weekend hopefully since im currently out of town

my daily driver for the warm season in NH, has some basic mods like aftermarket ignition, throttle body, exhaust and intake, plus the wheels ofc. next plans are some new interior bits - MOMO steering wheel, new drivers bucket seat w/ harnesses, and to lower it in the front a little. already rubs in the back over bumps and NH has plenty of bumps so don't want it too too low.

thinking of welding in a harness bar for the sake of getting the new drivers seat w/ harnesses so i don't slide across the interior when I get it sideways in the rain - stock vert seatbelts suck. any suggestions or advice?

I am currently looking to purchase a 2014 Ford Mustang here in Ontario, Canada, and I am choosing between two different options—both priced at $15,000 CAD. I would love to get your expert opinion on the condition of their undercarriages based on these photos.

  • Option 1 ($15k CAD / 64,000 km): This car has remarkably low mileage, but the entire underside is covered in a fresh, thick, and highly suspicious black protective surface/undercoating. It looks like it was applied very recently, and you can already see some rust bubbling through the black layers on the bolts.
  • Option 2 ($15k CAD / 101,000 km): This car has higher mileage, but the undercarriage is completely original with zero protective coatings or modifications. It shows completely normal, transparent, and honest surface rust on the factory components without anything hidden.

Thank you guys for your time :)

My fist Mustang was a 1996 Cobra. I was the 2nd owner. The original owner took it to Saleen and had the body kit, spoiler, wheels, and lowered it. I put in a hurst shifter CAI, a borla catback and removed the cats with an x-pipe.

I regret selling it, it was a lot of fun!
