New Beginnings

I have just started to put together my new look. I added the Saleen Heritage rear bumper, GT500 side skirts, Agent 47 side mirros, and the best upgrade, Steeda 20" Spyders in Black with machined face and lip. They wheels really set it off. Onr the rear, I have put on since the photo the Saleen license plate filler plate. I just have to get the bumper painted (leaving the botom portion the factory textured black), and get the Roush chin spoiler painted in black texture also to match the rest of the underbody.

slowly it is coming together. i am jut looking for someone now to swap hood with. I have a hood with a Roush hood scoop on it. It has a custom painted single satin silver stripe down the center. I want to look at putting a shaker in, but since there are holes drilled into the hood because of the Roush scoop, I cannot just put the Shaker in. I would rather not try and find a shop that does aluminum welding to fill in the holes, as I have been told that it might not come out right after it is all done. I would rather find someone that wants an excellent shape hood in exchange for theirs. Very hard to find in this area, especially in Windveil Blue.

Heres some pictures of the work in progress:





Here a picture of the rears. 20x11 Spyders wrapped in NITTO INVO 315/35. They fit just perfectly!

When is the bumper getting painted? I think some smoked lenses in the rear quarter would look really good!

Hopefully within the next few weeks. Work is preventing me from taking time off to get the bumper brought in.

Nice choice in tires. I am running 295 35 20 and they are very close to the fender. What springs are you running?

stock right now. I have Roush springs to go in later. They don't drop the rear too much.

I'll take an updated picture this weekend. I forgot to get one before I left on Sunday. The car is in "storage" right now.

Thanks. The reason I ask is I have the Roush spoiler too, and I have the Heritage stuff ready to go on, and I'm just curuious how everything will look together.

Here is an updated picture of the rear with the Saleen License Plate filler panel. Sorry for the darkness of the picture. My digital camera battery died after I took a new side pic, so I had to use my Bold 9700's camera. the sun was shining in the wrong spot, so it caused some darkness.

Here are the newest pictures now with the rear bumper painted. A local shop here in Windsor Ron's Custom Collision did awesome work on the paint matchng.

I still have the exhaust tips to install.

Looks awesome. The more I see of your car, the more I look forward to mine being done.

Don't forget pics when you get the tips on

Thanks. I have two set of tips that I got for it, but I just need to decide. I first bought the Saleen Dan Gurney Antracite dual tips, but then got the Saleen PJ square stainless tips. I haven't been able to test fit them, as I cannot get the tips into the muffler opening without an expander. My wife keeps saying the PJ tips look good, so I am leaning that way.
