The plan is to touchup this car in spots, practice wet sanding/polishing down these marks, before attempting similar on the Mustang rock chips. I touched up some spots on the Mustang but some are raised or a bit too spread out and give a funny look on the car. I'd like to try to normalize them somewhat but want practice on the car we don't care about first.
Drivers door jam, middle under the barcode is your paint code. [Reply]

I think it was a freak deal but I guess we will see.
A 9" center shouldn't break unless it was a casting flaw or beat in a previous life, throw it back in and go. [Reply]
When I was daily driving my Mustang I used 89 fuel.
Now that I am driving it seldom, I don't mind paying more for a fill up. But would using a higher octane gas benefit me if the car isn't tuned for it? I've heard people say that but not sure I'd agree? Seems like 91 is about as high as it goes for most pumps here though. [Reply]

And so I've learned in researching this question today, that Phoenix and most western states in general, only go to 91 at the pumps.
Guess that's what I'll be rolling with then since 93 seems non-existent. [Reply]

If your car isnt tuned for it it will do nothing except cost you extra money. [Reply]

My car is tuned pretty tight, and I 100% have to have 93. Fortunately for me, its all over central Missouri~ [Reply]

Some things about living in Jersey suck, but every station has 93 thankfully. Hometeam is right, your tune will determine what you need/use. If you can only get 91 out there, make sure you tune for it. [Reply]
