Barricade

May I make a suggestion...??

Since when do folks around here ask permission before throwing out opinions?

Go for it

It builds suspense....

I think the back would look really good with a set of these in red or the tinted ones.

Clicky here

I can understand the suggestion, been thinking of options for the tails, but I knocked those out of contention for a very specific reason:

I've seen them in person, and the outer "backup" white area on each side is non-functional without bulbs.

This would bug me, as when backing up it looks like bulbs are burned out. Why the manufacturer didn't raise the cost another $5 and do these right with bulbs in each location and a small harness to split the existing wiring to two sockets is beyond me.

In daylight, without anything lit, it doesn't even visually match the inner lighted backup segment (looks darker/less shiny)

OMG! Have I seen a YouTube video of your car??? The supercharger sound one?!?!?

Yep, that's mine

Wow how awesome! I saw that video years ago when I was looking into superchargers and that video I actually have saved!! Then I saw pictures and was like no way!! Went and watched it saw the name and figured it was. It sounds amazing, did it run you like 5G? I'm guessing now it drives like an 8 cylinder? And you have moded the exterior multiple times too huh? What other parts you still got laying around that you took off already?

For the supercharger with intercooler, I think the tab was less. It was almost five years of inflation back, and I got a bit of a discount for being an early buyer (my X-Charger is S/N 004). It'll take down a stock S197 GT without trouble, and is a pretty good match for GT's with bolt-ons/tuning.

The exterior has seen several phases. Had an idea what I wanted to do from the start, and finally got there (with a detour or two on the way)

The current exterior has only been complete for a bit under two months, and the car has been nominated and has been contending strongly for the July Ride of the Month voting on MF. I get the feeling maybe it turned out ok

I've got a fair number of parts to sell off. Among them a Roush spoiler, The CDC hood scoop you see in the video, and other stuff

I may be interested in some parts so let me know

Torch_Vert

Sure, PM me with what you're looking for, and we can talk.
