Noah: Hey, guys, it's Noah with AmericanMuscle. Let's take a look at this Chrome Acorn Lug Nut Kit in 1/2-inch by 20 and a set of 20 for the 1979 to 2014 Mustang. Now if you want to ditch your crusty factory lug nuts for some clean and new ones, this is a great pack to refresh your ride with. Gross lug nuts absolutely ruin the look of a vehicle, and I feel like lug nuts are kind of like the teeth of the car. It doesn't matter how nice the car's paint is or how good the fitment is. If a few teeth are missing and the rest are worse for wear, it's kind of distracting, and you tend to focus on that and not anything else. Now, a lot of Ford lug nuts actually had that outer casing on them that would crack and peel, and then it would come off entirely, and you'd be stuck with a few lug nuts that were a socket size smaller than the rest, which is super annoying. Now, if you're dealing with a crappy lug nut situation, a full set of 20 acorn-style lug nuts are a great investment to make, and they can overall transform the curb appeal of your Mustang. Now, these are just basic chrome, how they should be, and they sit low profile and up tight into the wheel. No lug spikes here. Now, these will fit all Mustangs from 1979 up to 2014, and that's it. 2015 and newer, you have a different thread pitch, and you need a different set.So the construction of these lug nuts is simple and that's what makes them really great in my opinion. They're clean, they're not over the top flashy and they're an acorn style lug nut. That refers to the overall shape of each lug nut which kind of looks like an acorn. There are a few different styles out there but this is the most simple and low profile and these have a 13, 16 or a 21-millimeter socket size and a 1/2-inch by 20 thread pitch.So the full set of lug nuts costs around $40 for the whole set. Twenty lug nuts on four corners at five lugs each means that this is a one-stop shop, a 360-degree refresh. Now that's a very small price tag for something that makes a pretty big difference.As far as installing the lug nuts is concerned, it's going to be an install difficulty of only one out of three wrenches and a 15-minute install time. This is a very straightforward install and now I'm going to hand it over to an AM customer who's going to walk you through the install process step by step.Man: So for this job you're only going to need two tools. You're going to need a lug wrench for getting your lugs off and putting the new ones on. You're also going to need a jack for putting the car in the air. All right, so this installation is pretty easy. All you're going to need for it is a jack and a lug wrench. Your first step, make sure your park brake is engaged, and then you're going to go ahead and break all your lug nuts loose, but don't take them off. All the lug nuts are broken loose. I'm going to put the jack, I'll do the jack [inaudible 00:03:24.900] side of the car, and jack the tire just so that it's off the ground. Perfect. [inaudible 00:04:05.006] Now you're just going to take all the lug nuts the rest of the way off and then put the new ones on. And you grab five new ones and then just get them on finger tight. And then, tighten them just a little bit. You're not going to get them all the way tight, but you can get them pretty tight. All right. Now those are pretty snug. Let the jack down and then finish tightening them in a star pattern. All right, and that's all there is to it. Super easy, shouldn't take probably 10 minutes for a tire.Noah: That was the Chrome Acorn Lug Nut Kit in 1/2-inch by 20 in a set of 20 for the 1979 to 2014 Mustang.
