That doesn't sound too bad of a price getting it on eBay.
I am curious about the info the G-Tech provides, but after seeing the numbers, I can't really see a need for it any further. Unless of course I install a substantial HP mod in the future. It would be different if my car was bone stock, then see how much HP each mod will yield.

All the 0-60 and 1/4 mile stuff can be downloaded to my computer and the datalogging too.

For the rear, it's a no brainer. Jack it up from the pumpkin.
For the front, jack up one side (doesn't matter which) at the factory point pinch weld just high enough to get the floor jack into position under the center A-frame. Then it's just a matter of jacking it high enough to place the Rhino ramps under the front tires or the placement of jack stands.
Then when it's time to drive off (the ramps), simply place a couple 2x4's side-by-side at the base of the ramp, and slowly back down.

For the H-Pipe change, should I put the front on the ramps and the rear axle on jack stands? Once the front is in the air, it's harder to get the jack under the rear end, though.

Jack up the front as high (and safe) as you can and place your jack stands on the frame. Then place your ramps 'backwards' so the runway doesn't get in your way.. tires wont contact as this is only for a secondary safety back-up.
Leave the back on rubber; just needs to be chalked.
There's plenty of access to the mid-pipe doing it this way.
If you're by yourself, always leave your cell phone within reach of wherever you're working under the car. Reason is obvious.

Catoctin Mountain Cruise Maryland
Here is a video of a cruise I went on last Sunday.

There were 71+ cars. The people were from the SVTOA, MCOM, Mid Atlantic Cobra Association & the Black Mustang Club (BMC). The video was done by a MCOM member.

It wasn't me. 
It's true though, with your 17" Machined wheels, it will cover up the view of the rotors somewhat, but not totally (like having Moon hub caps
)... see pic. As you can see, enough of the rotor surface can clearly be seen.
Driving around with the Ultralites will be no different than if you had a C6 Corvette. Take Tom for example, he's the got both the CDC and Ultralites, and is (1/2) a daily driver.

I have to leave something for my Christmas wishlist to the wife.If I can sell my 04 wheel and tires then I'll have the money to buy the rotors and the ultralites. They need to be put on Ebay before I can hope to get rid of them though. (Waiting on Tom)

For the front, it's like what I described in my above post. Of course, this is only applies in a garage surrounding.
If you're on the road, you have no choice but to follow Ford's instruction on where to place the jack. Instructions in the manual are a little vague (see pic) as they only reference the rear tire.
For the front, it's the same section in the pinch weld, just back of the front tire.

Bill- Just checked the tracking number on the shock tower covers and it says "out for delivery". Hopefully I'm back from my post office exam before UPS show's up.
BTW- You really need to add some stuff to your mod list considering all you really have left is the head unit. You can't possibly be done modding.

Keep me updated!

I can't think of any at the moment... I have PS3 and the Wii occupying most of my grey matter.
I'm trying to figure out how to score a Wii Sunday morning before the Sunset carshow and not be late.
Keep me updated!

Good luck on that one.

Wii (Good, but more for the younger crowd, for Chris I am sure)
I love my 360 though.
Bought Gears of War Saturday evening. They did a VERY good job with that game. I played a little co-op campaign last night on Hardcore.
Insane level is going to be a ***** !Hey LEO, you sent me a message on XBL but you must have had your mic muted; no sound
