4 piston upgrade

what i have so far and what ive ordered can someone confirm if this will work together? and i keep seeing that i might need an adapter and that they can also just bolt right up so i keep going back and forth not knowing if i need an adapter bracket for the caliper also to note this is going on a 2013 V6 mustang so not sure if the knuckle is already the problem

I want to take off the hood scope

Price wise does anyone know about how much it would cost to fill the holes and paint it. I would like to remove the emblem on the trunk too if it’s not crazy expensive

Missed opportunity - more Mustangs at Monrovia CA Pick-a-Part

I hesitated to buy a virgin (non-spoilered) Legend Lime trunk lid at this junkyard and now it’s gone, likely crushed. A white convertible also came in this week but no pics.

Weatherstrip replaced

Whats good yall, first time posting just wanted to share how i replaced the weatherstrip on the cowl vent grille. It was previously dry rotted and i just cut it off with a blade and glued on this aviation seal we use at work lol. Also took the time to restore the plastic and now looks oem! Proud of the results

Plugs again??!

Dude like am i just that unlucky or am i doing something wrong? So this is the second time one of the electrode on the spark plugs just came off on me, different cylinder thou. First time was on the 1st this time it was the 5th. First run was autolights the HT0, not going to lie i did like the way the car ran with them in there. Did a heavy WOT pull around 5krpm then poof engine sounded weird and ran funny. Pulled the #1 because it would throw a code and yup electrode gone. Weird because it was non gap-able and welded on both sides. So i switched back to the Champions, car ran great again no issues. Came time to change plugs so i figured well... i'll give brisk a shot, They seem to have a good rep. Looked up the N/A part number ordered them now yesterday... 5k WOT pull, boom electrode gone, knew exactly what it was because it sounded the exact same way. Engine light blinked, came back "online" threw a code but didn't store it. Pulled the plugs yup #5 electrode gone. So i put the champions back in. Am i doing something wrong here?? I typically do hand tight and a 1/4 turn, same as the Champions and they don't seem to have an issue with it. Just odd that two sets of plugs this would happen to me with. I would go motorcraft but i don't want a 2 piece design. I suppose i'm sticking with champions from now on.

Must need mods for an 06 V6?

I just got a 06 V6 and am wondering what mods I could get to make it more enjoyable (cosmetic or mechanical) Thanks in advance! Pics for reference.

Worth the switch for daily?

Hello everyone. Just for some context, last weekend got hit in an accident that ended up totaling my daily 09 V6(2nd Pic). While I could try to repair the frame, i thought it might be a better/safer idea to just take the opportunity to upgrade.

I’ve been searching for some mustangs to switch to around the 2013-2014 years, having trouble finding any reasonably priced 5.0s with decent mileage, and came across this Roush. I know it’s still a V6 and Auto, but wanted to know if this would be good as a daily, and what prices these usually go for. Especially since it’s at about 60,000 miles.

Any thoughts/ recommendations are appreciated.

This is my 2006. I inherited it from my late father in law. He bought it new. I’m so honored to be the caretaker and keeping it in the family.
