Episode Notes
Our grabber orange 2008 Ford Mustang GT makes its first appearance on the show, and soon after this episode was filmed, it was rushed off to the 2009 SEMA Show in Las Vegas!
This episode is unlike previous episodes which have the additional PARTZ or LETTERZ segments. That is because there was so much to show, we didn’t want to skimp on the details just to put in additional content. Future episodes may or may not have additional segments, depending on how much time we have. The next episode, S03E02 for example, has Partz, Letterz, and the introduction of a new segment called Ridez!

Nice long vid!!
February 16th, 2010 at 3:03 am
Thanks! Starting with this season, it's a half hour show on television so that's made episodes about twice the duration as usual. Some will be broken up into multiple parts, but I couldn't do it with this one. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show with a cold one!
February 16th, 2010 at 3:04 am
i love the rims on that stang
February 16th, 2010 at 3:04 am
Thanks, the rims are Zinik Z26 Vieri 20×8
February 17th, 2010 at 6:22 am
I dig it! Good job and congrats!
February 18th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
What? No "Zoot!"? I want a refund! Nice job Chris. Makes me want to trade in my 'Stang for a grabber orange one!
February 25th, 2010 at 9:23 am
looks nice.
February 25th, 2010 at 9:23 am
You didn't show the halos lit up
February 25th, 2010 at 9:23 am
We forgot to shoot some nighttime video of the halos. I'll try to get a photo so we can add it to the episode notes at the MOTORZ website. BTW, thanks for subscribing!

good episode chris. the ride looks awsome. but u should do the fast playing video when installing parts and not just skipping the instalation process. anywhay great episode.
February 25th, 2010 at 9:25 am

February 25th, 2010 at 9:25 am
Great start to the new season, things are looking awesome if the rest of the episodes are this good. 5/5 Keep up the Good Work! discount codes= awesomeness.
February 25th, 2010 at 9:25 am
sorry but i dont like the engine bay i like the decal on the side that looks sweet
February 25th, 2010 at 9:25 am
So simple but it makes a huge diference to the looks. I love the Orange and Chrome :)
February 25th, 2010 at 9:26 am
grabbed orange ehh, i feel like its more of a clear coated caterpillar yellow…..
February 25th, 2010 at 9:26 am
too much orange in the engine bay, the engine cover should have been detailed with some black accents to stand out a bit. How do the lights look?
February 25th, 2010 at 9:26 am
and what does all this crap do except for looking flimsy?
February 25th, 2010 at 9:27 am
wow i was expecting more engine work, maybe a better sound system an some other color than orange. theres no big contrast
February 25th, 2010 at 9:27 am
Why didn't you show what the headlight look like when they are on? I was really looking forward to that, does it change the style or beam?
February 25th, 2010 at 9:27 am
We will try to get some pics of them lit up at the site soon!
February 25th, 2010 at 9:24 am
Thanks for the feedback!!
February 25th, 2010 at 9:24 am
5/5 I always enjoy it when you do work on muscle cars.
February 25th, 2010 at 9:24 am
Thanks a bunch–I like working on pretty much anything… it's constantly a learning experience for me which is fun.

Who makes the rear window louver. I have the same one but i need to order a new install kit.
September 21st, 2012 at 12:25 pm
Click the episode link in the description and you’ll see a link on that page. Also check out the latest episode “Katzkin Leather Installation”. We show another one installed on the same Mustang which fits and looks a lot better :) There’s a link on that page, too, for more info.

IMO detail spray is the wrong way to install graphics. Why are you adding wax to a surface you want to adhere to? Most pros would use rubbing alcohol to remove all traces of wax or surface films before using the soap spray applying the graphic.

November 3rd, 2012 at 10:37 pm
It’s not detail spray at 18:58. It’s application fluid, which is recommended for applying vinyl to surfaces such as this.

17:38 you are spraying mothers detail spray to prep the surface. There is wax in that, which will not promote long term adhesion.
