We had a nasty hail storm yesterday afternoon here. Just about everyone in the subdivision has some sort of hail holes in the siding. Luckily my Mustang and my dad's suv were both in the garage. I had the Escort at work, and my mom wasn't home either, her new Focus is ok too. My dad called the association to report the damage and they are going to come out and inspect the house. The side of my next door neighbor's home looks like swiss cheese, as does the upstairs portion of ours. The hail came down west to east, so any part of the homes around here that face west has damage.

 

Wow. Yeah the skies looked nasty so I pulled my car in the shop, and in fact, decided just to leave it there overnight and take my winter beater home that I leave here in the summer. But it did not do anything at all in the South Burbs.

 

I'm sure if I am in town I will be at the Salleen Show at least to look around. Finished the latest mods this week. Red leather w/ silver welts on the rear interior panels (had an upolstery shop do this). SHR louvers, SHR Shifter bez, Cup holder bez and interior door handles, I'll post pics when I get it cleaned up. Took it in for the warranty work today and it rained. Fuel gauge and ABS/Traction Control Light and air bag recall. Warranty ends on Saturday.

 

Hi Ben, hope all is well.


Happy 4th everyone! I'm gonna blow some stuff up tonight!

 

Have a safe holiday everyone.

 

Happy 4th everyone! Don't lose any limbs or fingers blowing stuff up!

 

Well-

• 6pk bud light gone- check
• burnt hole in shirt- check
• strong gun powder odor on hands, body- check
• ~$200 of fireworks gone- check

Ah, I love July 4th. I needed a nice break, lighting stuff on fire and watching it explode just plain kicks ***.

 

oh yeah....+1

 

I like the Chandalere fireworks the best.





Plus they had these new ones that was like a fireball, then the loudest BOOM yet. I never seen them, and my gf never seen them before. Shes worked pyrotechnics with her uncle that does the shows for towns.

 

Who's the first one to buy it???????

Tom?????????????

 

Happy 5th of July everyone !......

 

Cool !

 

The trigger has been pulled on the painted Roush front facia. And chin spoiler. I like the way they look together!

 

You doing the chin spoiler? Unlike the other guys, I like it and think it gives it a meaner look.

 

Mornin, well afternoon. I managed to sleep until 12:45, lol. Oh well, gotta get ready for tailgaiting at the White Sox game.

 

Have a good one John- be safe!

 

Well against great advise from others...yes I am also doing the chin spoiler. Karen and I went to a Roush Ford dealer on Thursday so I could show her the facia. They had 6 in stock and all of them had the chin spoiler. As you said I also think it gives the front end a meaner or edgier kind of look. So both are on the way.
Scott

 

I think the chin spoiler will look just fine on your new fascia. In fact, I just got the stripes (http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...58#post5595158) on my hood and next year's mod will be a CDC chin spoiler. The nose is screaming for one.

 

Hey Chris,
I got one in white coming off soon!! I'll never use it again.

 

Perfect - if you can hang on to it for a while that would be great - after all the $ I spent on the hood, I doubt that my purchasing department will budget anything until next year...
