Thanks Robbie, Bill, and Luis!

Luis,
I like the Bullitt grille alot. It's a permanent keeper now on the car. I like the brushed aluminum trim and the way it compliments the machined edge of the DD wheels and the billet hood pins.

Thanks for making the decision harder. I was wondering how the machined edge of the wheels would match with the grille. This and losing my fogs keeps me from getting the grille.


There's always Shelby's lower grilles... if they EVER get them into production!


When is the install date

Luis, buy it and when you take it off the next day sell it to me

I still an thinking that if I don't get the CS front-end I might do this grille at the least, funny enough other mods are rearing their ugly head and probably will have to take care of that first.

If I bite the bullet (pun intended ) I'll end up keeping it. I'm just looking for every excuse possible to not get it

Yeah, sucks to see "must-have" change it's term Any ideas on which clutch you're going with?

I've been waiting for the Shelby lower inserts since last spring. That's all I lack to finish exterior. PIAA lights and the brake ducts.

Luis I forgot to answer the install date question.

I don't know. I have found a Mustang/Ford performance shop in the Houston area that comes highly recomended by members of this forum and the local Texas forums. I've been in contact and the quoted price looks great or inline with what I've seen here. He is getting back to me on the various parts I'll need like the '07 coolant conversion kit, plugs, and either GT500 pumps or the KB BAP.

The cool thing is I got Tom's Saleen Extreme Air Intake, the stock pulley and the 3.2" and 3.4" pulleys, the injectors, and the SC. But the Air Intake looks sick in the pictures at least.

That's one beefy intake! Altogether, I'm glad Tom took the blunt force of the initial cost for you.

I know he's in AZ, but not sure if he made it out to B-J.

You said it. Were it not for his taking the hit on depreciation I'd still be NA for a long time.

So had my "official" quote for the uFcking clutch today.

So goin by my tuners "recommendation" it's going to run 1100 bucks, add an addtitional 500 bucks if I want a twin disk clutch that "you'll never, ever break"

Granted it's chump change to what TB has paid into his ride, it kinda put the day in a crappy light. Not entirely sure I'm going with that recommendation or with a different mfg, I dunno. The spec 3+ will be about 300 bucks cheaper than the "clutchmasters" so is it worth the extra 300 or go the 'normal' route.

uFck.

anyway, I'm really on the fence. It's just 300 bucks so it shouldn't that big of a deal I guess.

Good news is that going over financials today if I get a decent income tax refund then even with this setback, which I'd have to do anyway, I should still be able to go with a "budget build" before the end of the year and that includes an Ice-Box and tires. So it's gloomy right now but it'll look up soon I hope.
