Looking good, did you move the TPMS sensors to the new wheels?

You selected 18" wheels in order to use the current tires, correct?

 

Here's a couple of pics of mine with Shaker and Louvers Installed. We are going down the same path. I've got to change computers and I'll post some additional of the rear louvers and stripes I have on.

Nice job.........

GG

 

Yes, we did move the sensors. We had Discount Tire do the work, they installed new bands, mounted, and balanced for a total of about $100. They initially had trouble getting the tire pressure warning to go out but once we drove about a mile down the road it finally did reset.

Yes, we went with 18" primarily in order to reuse the current tires. I personally am not a fan of tires larger than 18" anyway. Generally, the bigger rims and tires weigh more and they end up with such a short sidewall it can really detract from the ride quality.

 

Ahh! Another one! I was beginning to think we were the only ones to put a shaker on a CS. Looks good from what I can see, can't wait to see more and larger pictures.

 

I also had a 1979 Mercury Capri RS turbo Silver with louvers I put on..... Had no problems.......Until I rolled it

 

man those rims look cool

 

Ours was a 1982 with the 5.0. It only had the 2 barrel carburetor but I did add headers and dual exhaust so it sounded good and ran good for the day. Nothing like the new ones though, not even close. I think it was rated at about 160 hp from the factory, the exhaust work made a noticeable difference but I'd still be surprised if it was more than 180.

 

Thanks! The Magnum rims really fit the theme with the shaker and hood stripe.

 

Looks great!
