Paddle Shifters

[Nv6974]

Does anyone know if the S550 paddle shifter accessories work with the new S650 platform?

I'm wondering the same thing, want to buy paddle shifter extensions but don't know if the old ones will fit. Does anyone know?

Triple 7 said no, the new ones are different.

Paddle shifter extensions from 2023 and earlier WILL NOT WORK on the 2024 GT. I ordered some from MMD for my 2024 S650 GT Premium Convertible as a test and they did NOT fit. I ended up taking a Dremel to it to modify them, and so far that has not been a super great work around. I haven't achieved a secure fit just yet. :-/

What wheels are those. Look to be much easier to clean than the ones I have.

They came with the Nite Pony package and were listed on the window sticker as: “19x8.5 Ebony Black-Painted Al…” which I assume means Alloy, not Aluminum. They’re still a bit of work to clean them and I don’t do it as often as I probably should.

I also opted for the 19” Brembo brake w/performance linings and the Red & White painted calipers. I love how the color pops against the generally dark car.

The dealership also applied the PPF film. I was the first (or one of) to get the new matte-finish film they had. I’m super stoked with how that turned out too! The metal flake in the Dark Matter Gray shows up in the sun and makes it look like gunmetal or stainless steel. It’s freakin awesome. It’s rare that I don’t get at least one compliment when I drive it out anywhere. People on the sidewalk, in cars at stoplights, in parking lots, at stores, gas stations, you name it. I thought my ‘23 GT Convertible in Mysterious Purple got a lot of attention…until it met a deer head-on and was totaled. Not even close to how many comment on this one. At least three times, people driving by have seen it in a parking lot and turned around to come take a look at it and ask me questions. It’s crazy! But I love sharing all the cool info about it and the S650’s in general with anyone that’s interested! Gotta spread that Mustang gospel, you know!

That's the difference. You have the “19x8.5 Ebony Black-Painted Al…” which I assume means Alloy, not Aluminum, I have the PP's 19x9 & 19x9.5. I like your spokes better, easier to clean and IMO look better.

Oh man…yours do look great, but you’re right. You have twice as many spokes to clean. Ugh. I feel for you having to keep those clean.

I have the same wheels except in the bronze color, which shows brake dust even worse. So I cleaned them today for the first time in 800 miles. I let them go too long and they were in awful shape.

Using my S100 spray method along with a low powered battery pressure washer to rinse and a very small battery garage blower it took less than 20 minutes start to finish and dry again. No brushing, no rubbing. A lazy man’s dream!

i tired this a while ago with some GT500 paddle shifters i had. the connector is the same, but it didnt work, like it didnt work on the S550. the paddle shifters are a different shape and profile and its so much harder to swap them out now

Thanks for the tip on the S100 spray! My “old” pressure washer stopped working a couple of weeks ago, but the new one I ordered is being delivered today. I also have a crazy powerful leaf blower I use to dry my car with. Makes it so easy to dry the car. Gets all of the water out of the nooks & crannies so it doesn’t drip later and leave trail marks. A quick touch up with a towel and DONE.

Those look pretty good! Short, lightweight, and the reducer directs and concentrates the air flow to make the flow faster and stronger. They don’t have one to fit my blower but it got me thinking. I looked and there’s a gutter cleaning attachment that I don’t need to put all of the extension tubes on. Just take my tube off and put the mount and reducer on and *voila*!

I wish mine was battery powered rather than corded, but it’s powerful so I’m not complaining. Attached is what I have and what I ordered today.
