Does the block-off plate still come with the kit? If so, are you going to use it?

My shaker kit was sent on the 6th and will be here tomorrow. Brick got my email wrong (my fault probably due to my rushing). I'm glad it's coming tomorrow and not today. If it came today, I would want to put it in, but I already have camber plans!
My next "weekend" my father-in-law will be in town, so it won't be installed until the following "weekend"... June 21 & 22.
Unlesssss.... I drive my truck for a week and work on it a little every morning... hmmmmm.

I might actually get to install it this Sunday, if things go right. "ShAkE" some things up, especially at 7am on a Sunday
I go pick up my son Saturday afternoon. I haven't seen him in 2 weeks now
Amazing how much you want a break from them and then miss them so much when they are not around.

Daryl is softening up... I see the Steeda's in his future mod list! 
Also an Alpine deck!
I know what you mean about the boy. My kid is a stinker some time, but he's my little buddy.

Now I'm tracking my shipment via UPS, and they put down Pony Circle instead of Tony Circle. I may have been rushing, but I DID spell everything for him. I called UPS and they can't change it until it's on a delivery truck. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can call and have them send a message to the driver.

Should be no problem with the delivery. I've had street name typos delivered to me just fine. Unless of course, there is a 'Pony Circle' within your zip code.

I found a roll of the green Scotch 233+.
But, it cost me $9.88!!
... for masking tape.
Oh well! I needed it for the upcoming stripe project.

No Pony Circle in my ZIP, but Mapquest kept coming up with Pine Streets, and Pine Circles.
I'll still call UPS in the morning when it hits the "Out for Delivery" status.

Camber adjustment with the cam bolts went fine. No pics, but here's how I did it:
1. Wrote down angles with the tires on the ground (straight edge from rim lip to rim lip).
2. Jacked up car and put it on jack stands so it was solid (didn't have to necessarily be level).
3. Removed wheel and put one "open end" lug nut on rotor so it was tight.
4. Wrote down angle of rotor.
5. Replaced upper bolt with cam bolt and loosened lower bolt.
6. Tightened both hand tight so they didn't move easily, but so I could still make adjustments.
7. Rotated cam bolt so the rotor moved the number of degrees necessary from step 1.
8. Tightened upper bolt to 85 lb/ft and lower bolt to 120 lb/ft and rechecked angle.
Example:
Left side had -1.9 degrees camber (I want to add .9 to make it -1.0).
With the car on jack stands, the rotor was at +1.4 degrees camber.
So, I added .9 degrees to the rotor angle making it +2.3 degrees.
When lowered back down, camber will be -1.0 degrees.

Both front rims bounce back and forth from 88.9 to 89.0 degrees on the angle finder. So, I'm right on the edge of -1.0 degrees camber. I'll recheck after a few days of driving.
Congrats on the Cobra status... I was watching for that!

OK, I been thinking again. Yes I know that is dangerous.
What do you guys think about Clear Corners (with stealths) on Vista Blue??
Here are some pics provided by Bill of HighRoller's car with them installed.

Opinions please

You can also see how the CDC Classic chin spoiler looks on VB as well.
You're on the way to setting up your Mustang apart from the rest! Good job so far! (please, no fuzzy dice!
