I had to get the left quarter panel fixed so I decided to have the trunk holes welded while it was there so I could get an SS ducktail. I figured since they had it, I might as well get all my exterior mods so everything matched. Only thing left to buy is deep dish bulletts in the spring.

So here it is (airbrushed Pony is final piece when done) with SS ducktail and Gen II louvers, CDC classic chin and Roush hood scoop. I know it is all show and some go, but the supercharger will be on soon enough then it will be all show and all go

Very clean and tasteful. It's almost sort of understated.

Reminds me of something Chip Foose said about designing mods, that he considered a car a success when people were impressed with the whole car, not just this part or that part, that it really only works when everything fits together and looks like it belongs. This car does that imho. Nice job

A very tasteful execution. I like that chin spoiler but I'm too nervous to install one myself; I'm afraid I'd take it off on a driveway! Great pix.

Very clean looking car. And how do you like the Bassani axleback and x-pipe? I love the Roush hood scoop too... but I am a bit partial there. Only thing I can see to change it cosmetically is to drop the rear 3/4" amd level her off. I'd also put some black Shelby stripes on, like in your avatar. But that's just me.

Bassani's are ok, very loud drone to me. I have been on the fence about switching. I saw that Lidio posted an H-pipe setup with the high flow cats and resonators. maybe I'll try that setup. I am still undecided on Shelby stripes. Maybe when it retires from daily driver duty.

You really have drone? I have the Bassani axle-back and off-road x-pipe, and have no drone to speak of. I guess if I really listen for it, there's a little there. But nothing at all I'm worried about. I wonder if it's because of the hi-flow cats... but that doesn't make sense.
