Tom- Glad you took that little racer dude out of the fuse cover, it looked 'tupid.
As Leo once pointed out to me, unless you got a killer deal (or free) from a vendor and in exchange you want to advertise for them, why have their name on it?
This excludes you Tom2, I know Brent hooked you up in more ways than one.

It is a Granatelli kit... over a Hellion, or Turbonetics... so I'm just saying which kit is in the car.
Here's the final that Jay did up for me:
Looks great!

I'm going to order it right now!
Did your top stop by itself when you held the button (before the one-push) when coming up? If I hold the button to put the top down, it rolls the windows down, then stops when the top is completely folded down.
If I hold the button to put the top up, it rolls the windows down, but never stops until I let go of the button.
Is this one-push button on a timer? Or does it go until it feels the amps raise from resistance?

I can't remember if it kept going or not when I had it stock... I know ifI hit the button once, the windows all went down, and then I hit it (and held it) for it to go down... Same with the top up, I usually stopped pressing it once it got to the latches...
As for a timer on the new unit, yes! And it is programmable! It comes with instructions to time it both going up and going down... On my old unit (the one I had problems with) it did not have a timer and would just keep going a few seconds after it hit the latches... So I would manually stop it (by pressing the opposite way) and it worked... Wasn't ideal, but I was worried it would stress out the motor!

Just busting yer chops man. I could only hope to have a GQ someday.
+1 on scaling back the vendor name. Once is enough.
I didn't know it was 20/month on top of the 50 per year. There had better be a 3ft woman with no teeth and a flat head included in that price, with apologies to Susan !
Final version looks great !!! 
Yup that's the way I see it. Why give the vendor something for nothing.
It's bad enough I advertise them for free at all the car show's or when people ask what mods I have.
That's the main reason I never joined "stangpede" because you had to run their banner on your front windsheild. Plus the $50 a year + $20 a month wasn't worth it IMO.

I liked the racer dude... but it was kinda cluttered... and did have the name twice. That's what this thread is for... to ask!

Nothing against Adams, I just don't think their line is anything special. They have some good products, but I wouldn't consider switching to their line as a whole. Many people believe they are just rebottled Chemical Guys stuff anyway.

So now I'm an Adam's only guy? What's up with that. Putting words in my mouth 
I'm happy with the Adam's stuff. Good for what I'm looking for.
Zaino hands down though. Bill showed me the GQ way.
Yay. Have my internet working now. For some reason it would not ping
Now it's working out of nowhere

No Fab Ford packet yet. 
I e-mailed them this morning to see what's up. My check cleared back on 3/11.

Canton power steering reservior tank may be in my near future.
After pre-fitting the OEM power steering tank under the MWAG extension cover (my original plan), it rides up against the PCM plugs. Hector suggested to ditch this location and move it to the Driver's side strut tower, under the Vortech air inlet ducts.
As far as size, the Canton tank for the SN95 may fit the bill perfectly. It won't be out in the open, but will be somewhat visible. Best price I found so far is $99 shipped.

Functional blingage ==
Hey Bill, FYI.. I know I sent in my Fab Ford WAY after everyone else and I got my confirmation yesterday.
My FI update:
Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself but of the three flaming hoops I have to go through to get my blower I've got one down and another to be done this week. After that the last one should get me everything I need to get it done quickly after that ?? I sure hope so
