I love it with the grill painted black. It blended in too well stock and now it looks absolutely sick. Good job!

Sexy. I'm feeling the black grille. I'd get some clear corners on there and a rear trunk lid panel to line up the smoked tails better. I think the factory Ford panel would look awesome!

I would like to do the factory Ford tail panel also....problem I have is it removes the California Special "cap" and replaces it with the GT of the TriBAr and pony.....depending on purchasers choice. Still looking for a way to make it work.

1. clean well and scuff with a red (not green-too soft) 3M pad.
2. clean again and apply Bulldog Adhesion promoter..2 light coats.
3. Spray with black (I used krylon satin) exterior paint.. 2 light, then one heavy coat

I didnt do it, but should have sprayed with 1-2 light coats clear flat finish for protection...Get a tiny nick of silver showing through once in a while..I just take a spone with some black on it and dab it over...nobody can tell yet.

If it looks crappy after awhile, Ill just go with a Saleen one.

Good Luck
RC

Very nice, I really like the color. 400whp is very attainable with these cars.
