When I can take a clear photo I will. If I had to describe it, it almost looks like surface rust but it’s not kinda ?

Maybe it is rust. Did you try some CLR ?

Got a lot done today.

First changed the oil on the wife’s car.

Then tackled the Mustang. So instead of bending the hangers I reoriented all the OA pipes and mufflers. Also turns out I didn’t fully insert the passenger side OA pipe into the band clamp where it joins the x pipe. Probably why the tip was touching the valance. Both tips have good clearance although I have them inwards now compared to the exhaust cutouts. I had other things I needed to do so I didn’t want to spend all day working on the exhaust since it’s getting colder and we’re getting less daylight. Maybe in the summer I’ll see what I can do or take it to a shop.

Other things I had to do were change the side markers and fog light bulbs to the Diode Dynamics ones. Much brighter. Since I already had the car on jack stands I took out the tray under the front bumper to get more room to work with rather than go through the fender liner. I also needed to take out the fog lights as one of them got condensation last time I went through a Shell deluxe car wash. I used RTV grey silicone around the seem of the fog lights between the front and back halves since they’re technically mini projectors. The side markers and fog lights are much brighter than the bulb counterparts. I had Hella yellow fogs and the DD LED are brighter. I can actually see them when I’m driving as before I couldn’t tell they were there.

And lastly I changed the cabin filter and changed the oil. Back to full synthetic now.

Couple rants:

Why would you put the cabin filter under the windshield cowling?
How can you vertically adjust the fog lights when the bracket that holds it in place is covering the adjustment screw?

You know what Honda does? They put the cabin filter behind the glove box. Takes a minute to change and no tools needed.
You know what Honda also does. They leave holes in the tray under the front bumper so you can stick a screwdriver in it to vertically adjust the fog light.

What’s wrong with you, Ford engineers.

I did too. Wife's car had a flat, valve is shot. It had a slow leak for a bit, had to add air every couple of weeks. Then I got an oil change on the weekend and I think their checking the pressure was the final straw. Also been driven on flat a couple of times although for very short distances so I'm sure the sidewall is messed up. I'll keep an eye on tire sales over the winter. I've been very happy with the motormaster se3 tires that came with my Kia, if they come up on sale I'll probably grab a set.
