It's a beautiful car. A guy around here has a nice Sonic Blue Roush and he's a fanatic so he hasn't left anything untouched. I think for a Blue S197 your car is a great example of what can be achieved. I also think it is funny how every color of this car looks good with different mods. It's really hard to beat a Sonic Blue Roush for hot factor!

Yeah, and Vista Blue's not bad either!

I really like what you've done w/ that engine bay.

That is one BEAUTIFUL CAR!!! Like the two-tone engine cover, and the radiator extensions. Very sweet Roush (as you can see by my avatar, I'm partial to the color scheme)

Thank you for all the compliments

I am thinking about getting my ugly valve covers power coated, however If I do not do it my self the labor a local speed shop wants to charge me is about $180 just for removal/install. I've read some write ups on this and wonder If I should just attempt this myself.

Also I want a new Throttle Body but i've heard some horror stories about the new TB's with our stangs...

Great looking ride. I Don't think I would have had Jack sign the rear stripes, but other than that your ride look real clean.

Well FINE you don't have to like the interior then!!!

j/k

Its pretty much a stock Roush interior, I upgraded the Carbon Fiber dash up adding the pieces over the air bag, and put some ***** on the A/C but thats about it for interior mods.

I haven't decided if having the white faced gages is worth giving up something cool like my color (never got to use).

Nice clean looking car! As sanitary looking as your engine bay is you "do" need some powdercoated cam covers.

Hey bud, about the valve covers? Do the removal yourself. Its not that hard at all, and there are several threads that have great pics on how to do it. Just make sure you remove the coils, loosen the dipstick arm, and I had better luck when I unhooked the fuel line for even more clearance. And a second set of hands helped out ALOT!!!\

About the throttle body, I would save your money. From all the problems people have had with it, and the negative posts on it, you would be better served using that money for something else.
