The shaved fenders and quarter panels look AMAZING. The spoiler is off right now too, and I almost love the spoilerless look too
Looks good dude! When you say, shaved fenders and quarter panels, what exactly are you "shaving" off? You mean the 5.0 badges? So if so, aren't they just removed and filled since there's locating holes? So you're going badgeless? I think I recall you saying you removed the XM antenna on the trunk? What else?

Installed a set of Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic brake pads. They seem to have more stopping power, but I haven't really tested them yet. They sure look better than the stock rotors.

Update, hood is getting replaced. Cervini's is going to rush ship the new one to the body shop directly...though I don't know how they are going to rush an item that gets shipped freight. Whatever lol. Quarter windows will be at the shop Friday. Sometime next week, I'll have this car back!

List of items being done to the car:

- 5.0 emblems removed, holes plug welded and filled.
- Radio and GPS antennas removed, holes plugged and welded.
- Repairs from accident completed
- Entire car being repainted factory Ingot Silver minus the bumpers
- Grille fogs removed; CS fogs installed plus Diode Dynamics yellow XP80 bulbs
- Roush chin and lower grille delete installed. I will install the side and rear splitters when the car gets home
- Tru Fiber license plate panel installed, custom painted VHT Wrinkle Plus satin black
- RTR decklid and tail lights removed, MMD tail light bezels and RTR decklid repainted VHT Wrinkle Plus

Eventually I will paint the upper grille and Roush parts all VHT Wrinkle Plus. I'm also considering adding halos to the empty fog grille openings, unless I just get the CDC upper grille delete.

There's a good chance it's on a truck going straight to your body shop, or maybe there's a few other items on the truck as well that are in that immediate area.

I bet you see it within 3 days from shipping.

Forgot to add the SHR prepainted louver/quarter windows to my list! Next up will be radio and GPS antenna relocation project, probably just move the GPS antenna into the car in the back window. Radio antenna, we'll see since I never ever use the radio anyways. After that, prepainted GT500 spoiler, though I might get it unpainted and have the factory backup cam molded into it so it all looks OEM and I don't have to worry about splicing the cable for the camera.

Was planning on going for a little cruise after supper today because it's a pretty nice day out there, but, of course, had to work late! It never fails! lol
But, I did sent off another check this morning. No payment due till April of 2017.

Tony, just pay her off! lol....

been doing nothing with her for the last week. Washed and detailed last Wednesday, then just stored in garage. Put about 2 coats of Souveran on her, then just let her sit and wipe down every couple days. Not because the weather is bad, just because I don't want her to get dirty.
