Looking forward to seeing it...... if I keep my car I was debating this mod for next year, but may opt to get my stripes painted on. The vinyl is driving me nuts at times.
I hate all this talk of you selling your car. :-(

While my front end was off, I went at it with a can of black paint on parts of the radiator support to make it disappear into the grille, figured it couldn't hurt to do, especially if I change the grille to a billet later on. I don't like how you can see the structure of the car through the grille, so I figured the black-out treatment would do the trick. Would have been nice to see the cars come like that from the factory.
I just ordered J&M lower control arms for the rear of my car, figure that should help keep wheel hop to a minimum.

I'll take a few this afternoon. It kind looks like it was in a wreck with all the body parts laying around in my garage.

Thanks Glenn

Good idea Justin about the black paint. I may do the same thing.

Had about 1 1/2 hrs to work on the Roush fascia install after work today. The fascia is completely assembled and ready to install except I am going to try and come up with some custom bracketry to hang the license plate about were shown in these pictures. I have been busted several times thru the years for running without plates in this state so I need to come up with something. More later. Need to get a shower and head off to a Cajun style boil tonight.

Looking good Scott..hey is that a FlareSide pickup truck???? I havn't seen one of those for a few years.
Mark today on your calendar.....150 cars at the Mishawaka Auto show on Kamm's Island. Trophys for the top 40 cars.......I finished 41st (or worst). First time I didn't bring home the bling. Lots of club cars and older roadsters and the like. Not being in a club kills you at participation voting show. Oh well it was a beautiful day and my 2 daughters came by to visit.
