That's all cool and all, but you really didn't give anything back, besides "look at all the stuff I got". Well, you did say you were going to post some information shortly.
Lots of cool stuff though, sounds like it's a nice car.

Yes, its going to be Vista-Blue with white racing stripes. I have around 300-400 photos so far. I haven't had much time to resize them and post. I will have some time over the holidays so expect some updates.

That's quite a list. Hope it's what you want after she's done.
I'm so picky, I change only one thing at a time and make sure it was in fact an 'upgrade'. Ha. And I ponder things forever.

Here is some info on the Cervinis kit:
So far I have installed the upper and lower side scoops and the side exhaust. I would recommend that anyone who is installing these look them over and sand down any rough edges before sending them to the paint guy. Otherwise they look great and fit very well.
The side exhaust was a little bit more involved. I had the side skirts painted and then installed them using the screws and double stick tape. It's a tight fit and I had to modify a few holes to get everything lined up correctly. The drivers side exhaust installed easily. I had to cut 3/4in from the passenger side tube to get the exhaust tip to line up properly.
Note that once the side exhaust kit is installed it will have to be removed to perform any suspension work. The pipes sit just below the drive line and will hit if the rear suspension is not compressesed.
Also note that the exhaust tubing sits about 3.5in from the ground using the stock suspension. It's the band that holds the exhaust tip on. Everytime I hit bottom I have to adjust the exhaust tip.
I have also experienced a loud grinding noise when doing a near abs stop on the interstate. I think that the stock suspension rises up enough that the driveline rubs on the exhaust pipes. I'm hoping the Saleen Suspension kit solves this problem.

I ponder things forever too. I have been pondering/trying to find wheels to fit the BBK for 4 weeks now. The addiction started about 6 months ago when I placed the order for my mustang without ever sitting in one. Some mods have trickled over from my last project so it makes some of the decisions easier. Thanks for the feedback. This is going to be a fun thread.

Wow 3" off the ground for the exhaust and 4.5" on the side. Way too low, I wanted to do this to my car just can bring myself to do it, being mine's a daily driver

I wish Cervini's had disclosed more information about the kit before I purchased it. I might have gone a different direction as well. Looks are a good thing, but functionallity/performance is first in my book. I do ton's of research before buying and there are still suprises.
This car will be my daily driver as well. I'll have to post some photos of my trunk I have 3 JL audio amps, a car pc, and a JL 12in woofer and I have more room than the shaker 1000.

Good luck with all of that. I hope the finish project comes out exactly how you picture it.
The thing is with mods, if you wait a little bit, there is always going to be something else that you would have wanted to do. If you have the $$$$ to change things as you please, then it's not a big deal, but for us common folk, one thing at a time...... And then, maybe..... It will be complete.
