That will only be good westward , like from Junction or San Angelo to say El Paso , Midland , Lubbock or Abilene.. Pity nowhere near My neckothewoods!

Sounds good, Rusty!

Modding is fun and addictive (but expensive! )!

Welcome to our thread. I forsee alot of greenbacks leaving your wallet in the next month. Do you have any previous experience with "brsparts"? Just asking as I've never heard of them. What's your plan for the chin spoiler (keeping it matte black or getting it color matched with the car)? Those are all awesome mods that will really make your stang stand out.

Everyone else excluding Bill- I'm disappointed in your lack of commenting on my new mods.

Welcome! Do you mean rear floor mats? Didn't the Crimson upgrade package come with front red floor mats? Mine did, but I'm not sure if they changed it for '07.

No hood scoop? Planning on becoming a member of the "Shaker Club"?

Did you get auto or manual? I'm guessing manual, but can't tell from you just saying "5 speed".

Have a link with more pics, like a Photobucket? We need to see more pics... but be careful, if you come here too often, we'll talk you into lowering it and an exhaust change! We love to spend other people's money!

Hmmm... I'm worried my MGW stuff my not get here today as planned. It's 2:36am and the latest tracking info from the ups site says it left Doraville,GA 10/17 at 8:15am and has not arrived in Cali yet. Hopefully when I wake up it will say enroute for delivery.

It's funny how we want stuff NOW! It will be the end of the world if you have to wait until Monday, I know. But 3 months from now, looking back, it'll make no difference.

WebElectric emailed me and said my stuff went out Priority Mail 10/18. I have no tracking number, but from OH, the parts could get here today. I hope they do so I have something to keep me busy. At least USPS delivers tomorrow, too, unlike UPS.

---------------------------

Today's the day I find out what my 2nd MRI says. 75% of me wants it to turn out OK so I can get my release back to work - I'll return on Sunday since it's the beginning of the work week. The other 25% of me wants him to find something that he missed, or more disk pressing again a nerve so I'll understand why I'm still in so much pain at times.

Hopefully, but I think it's 4 to 5 days from GA to CA. I know you don't want to hear this, but Monday may be your day.

For you, Saturday might be your day. One of the pitfalls of UPS like you said.

Good luck with the results.
Pain could be from old age.

+1 Although Tom's wait was much longer and more frustrating.
Tom, when do you go the Dr. for the MRI results? Hope all is well.

I'm waiting for the call right now... if it's OK, I then drive to the Dr's to get my release back to work on Sunday night.

Here are the shaker pics. It's hard to see the "brushed" finish, but you can kinda see it in the 2nd and 4th picture. It's perfectly smooth because of the 2 coats of clear. In person, with the hood up, it's very close to matching the sills on the engine cover, and more people will see it at the car shows. With the hood down, it's still kinda hidden and doesn't nearly stand out as much as chrome would. And the god for saken rib is not noticeable any more.

Thanks... I even detailed the clips with the brushed look!

I never said anything about it not being there, I said it wasn't noticeable. It's only noticeable to you guys.

I asked people at the show if they saw the rib. What rib? That one. Where? Right there. What are you talking about?

Looks pretty good there, Tom.

Definitely stands out more than the flat black, but is no way obnoxious.
I think you'll get some good feedback on it at the shows.

That would be the un-**** eye. Those were TMS'ers that I was asking, so they were Mustang people. They were just so overwhelmed with the car's beauty that they couldn't find anything wrong with it.

I still have to get Leo's, the ****-master's, approval.
