That is Torch Red, right? Love the spoilerless look. Exhaust looks tough too.

Dark Candy Apple Red BTW, the exhaust sounds as tough as it looks. No drone either...

That's why it looked a little different.

Just a thought, when bored this summer, maybe consider painting the radiator support behind the A47 grille black. I decided it was worth the extra effort. (nevermind the headlight splitters, I took them off)

I thought about that, but decided I like the kind of functional look it lends to the car (if that makes sense ). Same with the horns that are just chillin there as well.

Nice car BTW, how did you do the edging around the grill?

It must be the lighting.

I took my horns out too.

Cheap chrome door trim molding from Autozone... the stuff that goes on the edge of the door to prevent damage if you open it into something.

That is the orange/gold flake in the paint making it look so bright. Here is a picture at dusk:

Lookin good, spoiler delete is always superior.

can we get a closer look at that exhaust? I like the way it doesn't stick out at all. How does it sound?

I haven't heard much about Zoomers either. What's the design, chambered or straight thru? Are the any sound clip out there?

Looks to be anywhere between $399-$599 based on some posts at the modular ford website, though for the lower price it appears that there was a "special" at one time.
Those things look and sound awsome.

I probably won't be able to take more pics for at least a couple days, but the zoomers website has some good pics.

It sounds killer, IMO. No drone (that I can tell), very raspy and bubbly on the runover, and a bit unique (more european sounding than most) at WOT.

BTW, I am in Austin as well. We should see if we can get a meet with some of the other austinites together.

I got mine for ~450 shipped under a "group buy" from zoomers direct. If you are interested, call em and see if they have any left at that price.

Looking good! I love how the color of the wheels really goes with the red!

That looks great, real clean, just the way I like them. I really like the rims!
