Great News for KITT Mustang Replica Builders!

[Slade]

So basically to each his own yes?Its just been really confusing me is all

[Pierre]

another question with overdrive here in france there is a lot a little road and some very small so dou you drive always with the overdrive on? I'm tempted to drive only OD off excepte on highway to avoid unwanted shifting from 5 to 4

[Slade]

I dont have overdrive on my car or truck...lol.Does the Mustang have it?I only use up to gear 4 for city driving,Ive never had the need to go to 5th gear,there arent enough long stretches of road where I am to need it.

Ok now I have an interior question,does it have to have Leather Interior to be considered a true replica?or can it just be the body and the computer on the interior?

[Pierre]

yes the mustang has an overdrive on it ,the trans often shift to 5TH to save fuel even a low speed the torque of the engine allow it the new mustang has a 6 auto trans and some german car up to 8

for the interior it's your choice the orignal kitt has a custom made leather interior to ressemble a GT500 since the seat don't have the snake emblem on it , and the fabric look a bit cheap if you look at the red insert in somes episodes

[Slade]

Ah ok,I was just curious about the interior.

Ok stupid question about the powerOutlet above the radio,is the cover attached to anything,like how the gas cap is attached to a rubber wire on the inside of the gas door to hold it in place?Or can you just take it off and put in anywhere?

Hope Im making sense?

[Pierre]

love the buttonless screen , for the power point outlet it's just put on the dash you can remove it and put it in your pocket i you like

[Slade]

LOL thanks,not my car tho,just a pic a found to describe what I meant

So the cover is not attached to anything just a simple to remove cover to put on and off?

[Pierre]

exactly

[Slade]

Thank you Pierre,if I had the car I wouldnt be asking odd questions like that

Oh I did find these tho...

[TURBOBOOST27]

[tamatt27]

Looks great so far! When's the scanner coming?

[Pierre]

thanks
not before a long time. It need the GT500 face ,lower spring etc before the scanner ,and acutally I'm very short on money lol

[Slade]

Wow nice Pierre your is a 2008 right?

Well I was just wondering how many KI3T owners we have on the board?

Oh hey another question I have is about the floormats on a GT?can some post a picture of their stock ones for me?

I was thinking of getting these after the conversion http://www.americanmuscle.com/floormats ... -0509.html

[Pierre]

yes mine is a 2008 actually I don' like the stock floor mat I prefet a all season rubber set so it's easier to clean

[Slade]

So you took your originals out?Yeah I was wondering what the stocks ones looked like,hard to find a picture online of them

[Pierre]

no the stock are still one theey are just simple black carpet like on any car

[Slade]

Do they have anything special on them?Like the horse or GT emblem?Or is just black carpet,odd Ive seen grey interiors but never black So you put some rubber covers over em just so ya dont ruin the carpet right?Sorry for all the questions

Oh another question I have is does KI3Ts bumper come painted or do you have to paint that too and what was the total cost for the hood and bumper together on average?

The front bumper doesn't come painted. I payed about $1100 for the front bumper and all necessary hardware, $150 for front bumper paint, $850 for the hood, $750 for hood prep and paint....roughly.

[Slade]

Ok so if I do my math correctly close to about 3k just for the front end right?Thats not counting the scanner either if I recall...

Did you buy em off a site or somewhere special?I can imagine the dealership would of charged alot more

Thanks Matt

[Pierre]

no emblem nothing black carpet thats all

[Slade]

no emblem nothing black carpet thats all

Wow I thought it at least have the Pony or GT on it.Just standard carpet tho,hmm,well Im defiantly thinking of getting those Cobra floormats after the conversion
