On the MGW install, you now have 3 experienced installers to choose from for guidance, me, Brian, and George. We'll start taking bids now.




Speaking of LCA's... Luis?

Point taken... thanks for the heads up

Lca's....haven't thought about that...but the che's are looking nice. Too far into the future to start doing homework

Actually the e-brake is the mod I did like. Gives the ebrake a more classy look and feel. The one I regretted doing was the leather armrest. That's the one where the difference in looks wasn't worth the $$$. The e-brake install was a PITA though.

I knew it was one or the other that you didn't feel like it was worth the cost.

I was against getting the MGW shifter until I drove TacoBill's Stang, when I got home I ordered it Can't wait to see the blackout panel

I say it's worth it. Although since you just got the car there's alot of other mods that $100 can go towards.

I think that's how all the Socal guys fell victim to the MGW shifter.

First things first.... Look on Luis' face... PRICELESS!!!







Next up.. the blackout vinyl panel. Install went very well, about 95% complete. All that's left is to fold the edges over the trunk lid once it tacks up. No major bubbles so far, but I told Luis that if some pop up, give them a few days to lay down on their own.

Before


During


After

Looks like he might need a change of underwear.

Luis-The blackout's going to look sweet once it dries. Took about a week before the smaller bubbles went away for me. I like the black and white theme you have going.

You need a Shaker now. Are you considering rally stripes/hood stripe of no stripes at all?

Don't worry, I put some plastic down on my seat before he got in the driver's seat!
(Notice the Raptor flashing twice on the 1 and 2 shift?? )


Luis was talking about the MWAG mirror covers, that one pic shows how it'll look like. I like it!

I think maybe the hood stripe you have Leo will look good on his PW CS (w/Shaker of course).

I can't laugh since I can't even drive stick.

+1 to both of those comments.

LOL.... I think Luis likes it. Imagine going from a stock GT to TacoBill's machine, too much.

The black out looks great Luis. For some reason, the black outs just look 'Right' to me, except when there are stripes.

so.... what's your next Mod ????
Shifter ,
Off-Road H ??
4.10s
C&L........ come on it's only money.


I had something other than the MGW, the Hurst. While it looks great it didn't function as well as the MGW. The price may seem like a big hurdle but it's well worth every single cent. Don't settle for second best . But if you want a Hurst, I know someone with a used one that will sell it cheap !!

Luis, i think you're in trouble. Don't hang around these guys! You'll be broke in about 6 months, maybe sooner.
