Evil Robot Lady
I couldn't believe it when I saw this in the latest issue of Mustang Enthusiast. Bill, Daryl, Susan, and Karman will appreciate this the most. And it shows Leo, Mike, and others what we went through when ordering our cars:
"It was worth the wait," says Bill (not our Bill). "There was a phone number available to dealers only to check the status of a vehicle on order. Using some connections (Kzinti?), I was able to get it and started calling on a daily basis. The system uses voice recognition, and inquiries are answered by a female voice recording. She was dubbed the 'Evil Robot Lady' by those of us waiting for the delivery of our cars. She could break your heart or make your day. Mostly, it seemed like she took great joy in breaking hearts."
Those were the days..............

Which do you guys think looks better.
1 The brushed lid

2 The polished lid

Looking for opinions on engine mods. I'm planning on getting what you see on my future mod list for the engine bay and was thinking of also getting cap covers for the washer fluid,brake fluid, and power steering. Do you think it's to much? Should I just stick with what's on my mod list?

For a daily, I don't recommend the chrome for anything. That goes for fuse box cover, radiator shroud (especially), and the MGW oil and radiator caps. In fact, MGW suggests that you use your OEM caps for daily use and swap the chrome ones in only for shows.
I've seen several chrome radiator shroud covers installed on dailys and they were all scratched to heck.
I suggest that if you do go for the chrome look, only put them on for shows.

Well after hearing Tom's and Bill's opinions on the engine bay dress up I've decided to not get the upr caps. I'll only be buying the brushed fuse cover and the a/c valve caps from them. I am going to order all three of the mgw caps though. Still undecided about the cupholder bezel. The wife doesn't really like it and I'm not sold on it either. Either way these engine mod purchases won't happen untill after I get my chin spoiler and decide wether or not to paint it. Which reminds me I have to get in touch with that guy.

While were on the subject of engine mods I have something else I can't decide on. Should I buy the Brushed radiator cover or should I wait for MWAG's painted covers? If you think I should get the painted rad cover do you think I should get it in black or maybe a silver to compliment the brushed looked?

I'm not sure I'm going to put the SCT emblem on since I'm not a fan of putting company emblems or decals on my car. Unless of course they want to sponsor me and give me some freebies. I know I have CDC,Flowmaster and K&N logo's on my car but those are by default since they come on the item.
Here's a link to the MWAG rad cover.

From the pic, it looks rather dull and not glossy. I'm curious about the long term durability of the paint being on the flimsy plastic. Concerns would be dis-coloration, peeling and chipping.

I don't think MWAG would put out a crappy product but I do agree that it doesn't seem to match the cars paint. Although I'd have to say this is the best radiator cover option out right now. I don't like the other brushed and chromed ones that are out now because they're just a cheesy looking tacked on piece.

Having some major ordering time indecision woes right now. I can't bring myself to order the chin spoiler because I don't want to pay the extra $45 to have it in a flat black when I may end up painting it. I know there's the possiblity that I'll like it but just that odd chance that I don't.
Where's everyone been these past few days?? There's not much action in here.

Bill- I received the Adam's in & out spray yesterday. I'm surprised by how fast it got here. I ordered Friday or Saturday night I can't remember now. I'll be in your area the weekend of the 20-22 so I can meet you somewhere or just drop the can off at Kevin's house if you want.

If you're still flip flopping the issue, that means that you want it painted.
Bite the bullet and order it unpainted, take it to your painter, then be done with it.
Either way if fine, thanks for giving me one. 
I'll be gone Saturday afternoon, planning to go on the Edlebrock Tour and Lunch at their facility in Torrance!
I want to try it out the Adams spray on the honeycomb front grille as it's probably the only dirty part on my car! I just don't have the patience to clean each section on that grille with a Q-Tip.
