Here is my Vista Blue Love



Its lowered on FRPP springs but no love on the height. Going to a coilover setup to get the even height I want. My new theory is do it once and do it right.

Looks good, I'm still flopping back & forth if I want to keep the upper grill fogs.



More pics, because I'm obsessed. Cooling down at the track:


And I added the Silver Horse Racing lower grill honeycomb insert

Shotokan1509 - Your ride looks awesome with the 20in Roush Rims. I love the fogless grill. It gives a more sinister OEM look. I confuse some sales people here at the dealer. I was looking at the 2011 GT500's at my dealer over the weekend but got to stop the temptation. LOL

I love the look of them, I really did not want 20's but when I saw them on the Roush I loved them and then came across a deal I just couldn't pass up. They do hurt me at the drag strip, but I only go for shiz & giggles, its a street car so I'll give up some go for show.

As far as the grill, I wouldn't pay for a Bullit version, it would have to be for black billet. Problem is that conversion would need upper grill surround or cut factory (I actually have a black Shelby one sitting on a shelf), but also add black lower grill and either the Shelby ducts for the side pieces or the Agent 47 ducts. Add it all up and gets pricey . I need it all matching, either all honeycomb or none.

Thanks Heck, unless it's riced out, there really isn't a VB I've seen that I didn't like for one reason or a dozen!!!!! Many of the exterior mods look killer with the VB! As far as my A47 mirrors...they've seen all kinds of weather and unless I really lather them up with Back To Black every week or so, the tops are faded... I'm not sure what route to take to remedy that... I'd like to have them painted, but what color???...what finish??? I've seen them painted body color and I don't care for that... Gloss black seems too drastic for my taste... Matte black may be just as big a pain to keep looking good as the raw plastic... I guess I'll just keep using the Back To Black as it gives me the look I truly want.

Keep the VB pics coming

Ehh, that would at least cut down on how much I had to use Back To Black on... Thanks for the pic!

This hook is used on the FR500C Race cars- the bracket used in my application is something I came up as a simple bolt on item- I do have a few extra's to sell..

This hook come's in handy at the track day to keep the front facia on the car if the need to tow it off the track, onto a roll back, or just loading the car into a trailer...

CS69's look awesome on there, they were on my list when I was hunting wheels.

Not really feeling the headlights, but your car is different, I like it overall. I want to swap my fender "GT's" to the tribar pony.

Interesting.. how is that for fumes? I can get it wafting in from my regular tailpipes with the wrong wind pattern.
