Looks awesome Tony! I love the stance. Somethings I noticed:

- love the darkened HID's/housing. Is that stock?
- I notice no running boards or steps... no plans to add?
- lose that front plate! You can either pay bodyshop to fill hole and paint/blend/repaint, or just get plugs from bumperplugs.com, or better - go to Lowe's, automotive section, buy a couple of those plastic black plugs, then paint them yourself. Voila.

Lol you guys... not just the forum, maybe his neighbors, folks on street...

LMFAO
Awwww you guys!!! lol

Everything is stock. Except for the lowering kit and the muffler.
No plans on a step, I like it as is.
I definitely want to lose the front plate. I will probably take it off soon and add the bumper plugs and call it a day.
I have to have a front plate for annual inspections anyways, so I'll be taking it off and putting it back on all once a year.

Inspections suck! Thanks goodness Iowa is free of that...

So what do you for the Roush???? If I recall, you have no front plates for her.

Gabe

Inspection stickers are only needed for cars that get driven on public roads.
If it never leaves one's property, it never really needs to be inspected.
So Tony's all set

I bought one of those Craig's Custom Brackets before the car got shipped home back in early 2013. Put the bracket on, get the inspection, take it off. What a killer idea and a great product!

Funny stuff guys. I love it!!!

Been working the last 5 Saturdays which is OT. 5 hours each time. Still paying for the fence and just got the tractor serviced, so that put a damper on paying forward on the truck.
BUT,.......I saved up enough to send in 3 more payments. No more truck payment until the end of December, 2019.

*oh,........and I also inquired about 2 Grabber Blue GT500 cars last weekend. One with white stripes and the other with black matte stripes. Both had/have all options, except glass roof.
One was sold and the other,....well,...........LOL. The dealership said they don't ship cars out of state?!?! I was like,.....WHHAATT?!?!? lol
They said I would need to come in for being a first time buyer. I never emailed them back after that. I'm all set. That's silly. That car was in North Dakota. I'm not going to north Dakota. The other was in Pennsylvania.
I forget which, but one of them had stupid miles on it like less 1,000. It was about 60k, but I was willing to pay for it with that many miles and being a one owner car/100% stock.
Guess those weren't meant to be neither.

Tony - congrats on the payment speeding up... what do you do for a living?

And what year were those Shelbies? So would you trade in/sell the Roush?

Hey bro!!
I work in the print industry. Right outta high school back in 1990. That's what I went to school for. I never went to college and never wanted to. So, I went to a vocational high school. I run a HP 7000 digital press. But, before that, I did a lot of other things in the same industry and worked my way up.

I think one was a 2013 and the other was a 2014. One was at Luther Family Ford and the other was at Coccia Ford. Yes, I would trade in the Roush, but those cars would have to be IMMACULATE for me to trade in as my car is. They were both pretty nice cars with really low mileage. Really low mileage. lol

That's what my brother-in-law does for living, he uses the HP Indigo...

NICE!!
Where does he work? Is it in MA?

Thanks bro. I worked hard to get where I am. Lots of herlp from my parents as well, obviously. But all well worth it.
No, no GT500. One is sold and the other,.....well you read the post about it lol
If it happens, it happens. If not, no biggie. Everything happens for a reason. I was just glancing and came across those 2. One sold VERY quickly. Wasn't online long at all.

He works in Windsor CT, I can't remember the name of the business. I know he went for HP training not to long ago. He's been doing it for about 10yrs and he gets a TON of overtime.

That's awesome.
I was trained at work, so not "officially" certified, but my boss said that wanted to send me and another co-worker. He saud we already know more than most of the people trainer the courses anyways. Best knowledge is on the job training.
That's awesome about the overtime. We're bombed as well. We worked the last 5 Saturdays in a row, plus some of the guys stay late during the week. I was talking to the owner a couple of weeks ago and he said this is the busiest it's been in 25 years.
We're 1 of the top 3 print producers in the Northeast sector.

Worked as a printer myself for 28 years. I know all about shifts, weekends and OT! I was in the digital world and eventually my job got outsourced to India!

That sucks Gary!! Sorry to hear bro.
What machines did you work on?

Mustang Freak

Ummm...MACs I was in the digital prepress department.

Stage_3

HA HAAAAAAAAAAA
Too funny bro. I was in prepress before the big recession and then started in a new job/new position.

Sending in another 2 truck payments very early Monday morning on the way to work.
No truck payment until the end of February, 2020.
