Hey Tom. Congrats on the photo shoot. They did my 78 Mustang II T-Top. Tom & Denise Rounds were the photographer's. Mustang Enthusiast sent me a CD of the photo's they took. 93 pictures. Couldn't believe it. They were awesome. Only 5 actually showed up in the mag with the short article, but I was sure happy. Also one of my best friends from my New England Mustang Club, Joe Lachut, was just featured in a photo shoot in the current issue of ME, with his 66GT350H. (pages 42-44) Joe's car was chosen to be the model for the Lane Collectable Diecast they are issuing.

I'm pulling for you Tom.

Well since I couldn't get the fader stripes in matte black I decided to pull the trigger on the BSM California style stripe. Worst case scenario I'm out $30 plus shipping.

You need to update your sig! Speaking of that, my radiator extensions came today. I'm not even going to open the box until tomorrow when I get home from work.

I'd love to update my sig once they stop enforcing that stupid A$$ 10 line rule. None of us can update our sigs unless we reduce them. Go ahead and try you'll see it won't let you save your changes. I've been trying to get support to get are sig lengths back but none of you has chime in on my thread. So they probably think I'm the only one on the site ****ed off.

But, I did respond on Leo's poll.

well I haven't joined in or said anything because I totally understand where they are coming from and to a degree I understand it. Sure sigs like Leo, Bill, Tom... etc help because you can see what they've done to the car and in some cases see how it is that they did it. But it becomes over the top, IMO, when there is this huge sig it can take up most of the page on normal screen resolution and can be a pain. Then again if it is also contributing to making the site slow I certainly agree with the mods. At a hard set maximum they're gonna pi$$ off someone. I don't have a problem with any of the sigs here but have seen some that where completely laughable but I wouldn't complain either I'd find a way to ignore it.
YMMV

Yup you do.

true. If it's a complaint over system performance, then the old-lady that complain has her panties in a bunch and needs to get over it. IF it's a performance issue a limit is better than turning them off for everyone.

So.....
Got the C&L/Bamachips Tune in(cough... hello boss, I don't feel so good today... cough... ). Holy Flocking Shiite. Went straight for the 91 race, of course. The throttle response is unreal. I'll try to get a little more time in it but so far I am very impressed.

If we had a gallery to link to within the site here, we could solve most of the problems. I clicked on that signature adjusting, and to reduce the print as well as the content to make it "comply". If it is a performance (to much space taken up) then start with the non-members, then once a reasonable alternative, ie., the gallery, is ready, then it would not be a problem for any of us. Oh well, mine is all set for a while, can't spend anymore on the 07 anyway, got another project to car to spend on now.

Considering a new mod. Please vote/chime in.
Well since I've decided to with the rockers stripes I think the back of the car needs something in matte black to continue the theme of black/matte black. With that said there's a couple of ways I've considered doing this.
Probably the most cost effective way.
1) Getting a vinyl decal in matte black. Like this one here.
http://www.baltimorestreetmods.com/05classic.htm
Not a big fan of how these look on black cars.
2)SHR honeycomb decklid panel
Least likely to choose only because I think the diffuser gives it a more modern/sporty look as opposed to the classic/retro look I'm shooting for.
3)CS rear bumper
4)Leave it as is.
With that said what do you guys think?

Maybe the Matte Magnetic one would be better for ya. For the difference in cost, at least you could remove it for alternative looks. And oh yeah, the GT/CS rear facia is a big plus for all the rear mods.

I once wanted a diffuser (from SS), but now I'm glad I didn't get it.
The GT/CS diffuser looks good, but then you'll want to get the front one to match. Then, if you get both, people will start accusing you of being a CS poser!
I know Brian's looking into getting the CS front facia and I've seen a couple swap-in's here in TMS and it looks pretty good. Just don't get carried away in cloning a CS, unless it's what you're shooting for.
As far as the rear deck, this one doesn't look bad at all. I don't know who makes it. Attachment 21992
