Default 2007 Mustang GT, have questions (I did search): Camber, badges, kid seat, antenna

1st question:
The '07 Mustang I just bought has Ford racing springs which were installed at the dealer (done by the previous owner). The front has negative camber, you can tell.

I don't care visually, but is this a problem, either for tire wear, handling, etc?

Did the dealer possibly not do the job properly / completely? (by the way the rear is centered properly).


2nd question:
Do the GT emblems on the fenders have pins (will there be holes in the fenders if I remove the emblems)? I want the clean look and want to take them off.




3rd question:
The rear has a honeycomb panel on it (I like it). But I want to swap out the emblem in the middle for a brushed Shelby one (don't like the chrome). How is it held in place? I have no way to get "under" it because of the honeycomb panel.



4th question:
Where is the cheapest place to buy a Bullitt grill? I really like it and it's first on my list. I recall seeing somewhere which has it for $150, but couldn't find the post when I searched.



5th question:
Where can I get a 14" antenna? I have a stack of Mustang parts catalogs here and I don't see any.



6th question:
My daughters booster seat (bottom part only) doesn't fit really well. Her back is poorly supported because the seat is very curvy and not squarish. Any ideas from other parents out there?


Thank you in advance. I'll post up some pics soon. It's got a few other cool tidbits already like agent47 mirrors and blue lighted sill plates I want to show off in some pics.

well i cant answer all those questions but i can answer one or two mabye for you. on my mustang the gt emblems on the fenders do have holes cut in the fender for them. i know it sucks i was gonna take mine off to. for the antenna go to americanmuscle.com they have them. they are also one of the best places around for parts, dont know how many things i have bought from them. use the code fnsweet for 6% off to. they also have the bullitt grill i believe to, and have camber plates which will correct your negative camber. hope this helps and good luck

the bullitt grille you can buy direct from ford on their accessory page. and i am not sure about the antenna but have you tried american muscle or moss mustang? they have pretty extensive online stores.

I'd say it's highly likely that you need camber plates or bolts on the front. The dealer probably just slapped the springs on it.

Yes, two holes per emblem

Held in place with double-side tape.

Try CJ Pony Parts - Ford Mustang Parts or Mustang Parts & Performance - American Muscle

These cars are not really condoned to car seats. I've use pieces of those foam fun noodles from a pool to support the seat.

Found the grill for $165 at partscheap.com


Thank for the other comments.

I'm wondering as a follow up, what if I don't get the camber bolts? Bad? How hard are they to install at home in the garage (or do I need an alignment place to do it?)?

Thanks.

Negative camber will cause the inside edges of your tires to wear prematurely. On a bright note you should have better traction in turns...

I couldn't comment on the install as I haven't done it.

As far as the car seat, I used towels under it to level it out.

Camber bolts are an easy garage install but it would still be best to have it aligned.
