Sweet car, mine says 'hey'.

 

Looks great man!

Where'd you get that 5.0L Coyote emblem? Same guy from Ebay with the red ones?

Edit: Nevermind, found them!

dmhines...

looking good bro! I can't believe you and I were one of the folks that just couldn't WAIT to get their cars from Deysha/et al not too long ago.

Your car looks sweet! Love the tasteful mods. I've been thinking about the CS valence and boss splitter a lot. How do you like it? Also, I wasn't a fan of changing grills out, but seeing your Saleen one on there looks great. I was thinking though, I wouldn't like to lose the two big foglamps, that's the only thing. Seems to be a trademark of the GT. What you think?

I was set to get the GT500 spoiler.... now I have to think about the grill and CS valence again... thanks man

Other than that, looks awesome.

p.s. I never had the skip shift kick in... maybe because I drive it hard all the time... lol. Also, if I get the FRPP tune, that should eliminate it.

 

Yes .. time does fly! Thanks for the comliments. I need to get some daylight pics outside of garage.

I like the CS valance and splitter .. swapped them from my 2010 to this car. I personally don't like the big fog lights in the grill. I also ordered a Matte Black Hood Stripe that I am going to put on .. it will compliement the matte black front end peices.

I do like the GT500 spoiler and had one on my 2010. I don't have that option now with the camera but the mid-size Camera spoiler does look better than the mini non-camera one. Its probably 60% the width of the GT500 spoiler.

Still gotta find the time to install my AM shifter/Steeda Bracket and my JL Audio Stealth Subwoofer.

The only thing I am not liking is the front springs on the 2012 definitely sit higher than my 2010. My stock 2010 springs had the fender lip sitting right above the front tire .. the 2012 is much higher .. maybe it's the BRembo springs ... On my 2010 with the rear Roush springs the stance was perfect. With the Roush in back of the 2012 it looks like the back end may be sitting lower than the front instead of level ... I'll let the 2012 get some settling miles on it and see if they come down a little.

 

Bro, in my honest opinion, the fronts need to be lowered too. And yes, now that you mention it, I think with you doing your rear Roush's only, I believe they appear to be lower on the rears now, than the fronts. I would either get the front Roush's (if they make em), or switch to Steedas or FRPP's (I have the K's) for about a 1 - 1.5" drop. IMO, the 1.5" drop is PERFECT. See below:



As for the saleen grille, I like how yours looks! Am really leaning towards that now. How much was it? Easy install? You just unplug the lights, then the switch on the dash is useless?

As for the matte black stripes, that is a great idea. Just one down the middle? You doing it yourself? I was contemplating getting that at first with the order...... maybe I should have.

Gt500 spoiler wise, I think I may have to get this next. The stock lip spoiler is not doing it for me...

 

Yes .. Roush makes a matching set of front springs so will probably go that route.

I was planning on using the stock grill with MESH in the foglight openings but could not get it to look good so I put the Saleen grill in there for now. Another part I had left over from my 2010 going back to stock. The factory switch now operatoes the fog lights in the lower valance.

I will do stripe myself .. I do not like the factory stripes .. just getting a stripe that goes on the hood bulge ...

Bought it here ... Style D .. the one on the Yellow car in the ad ...

The car looks awesome!!

How have the rear springs affected the ride/handling?

Were you able to bolt up the CS fascia with the Boss splitter attached?? It's hard to tell if it blocks access to the bolts/clips that you need to attach the fascia.

I love that mod!!! I have mine waiting to go on.

EDIT: Anyone else notice that the majority of people who posted in this thread has a Kona Blue car?

 

It doesn't appear to have changed the ride .. however .. I did order the Roush Front springs and plan on installing them as soon as I get them to drop the front down.

No problem installing the CS Valance and Boss Splitter as a complete unit .. nothing is blocked what so ever .....

I removed the Saleen Grill this weekend and went with the 2010 Black Chrome Emblem and Fog Light delete mod on the stock Grill ... I think it looks meaner ...

 

Hines, you didn't like the saleen grille? I thought that was hottttt...

Btw, care to sell that? I got dibs!!!

 

The saleen is nice .. but the modded factory grill looks more Max Max! LOL ....

I was gonna probably put the Saleen on Craiglist so I didn't have to mess with finding a box to ship it ....

 

Looking good Dan. I like the modified grill over the Saleen. While I like the bar grill look on our cars a lot I'm not a fan of the Saleen grill due to the added detail on the sides. BTW you can always get a camera mounted on a license plate frame if you want to change your rear spoiler.

 

Oh, ****... that looks even better!!
You have excellent taste.

How did you do the mod to the fog light openings? I'd like to apply that to my CS fascia until I save up some extra cash for the brake cooling kit.

 

Here is the link to the grill mod ...

Where did you find the splitter by itself for $150? I always see it with the CS valance only.

 

here is one example.

Yep.. that's where I got mine.
American Muscle is a great company to do business with (no affiliation!! ).

I had a question about my CS fascia and the customer service guy who answered the phone actually put the phone down and ran all the way out to the shop to verify something on one of their project cars for me...and he was super nice about it.

Stinger, are you going to adapt the '12 Boss splitter to fit your car? That might be really cool!!

 

I'm considering it. I photoshopped it onto my car last night and I can't decide for sure just yet.

Unfortunately I'm not sure it will work because of the different shape of the valance on my car....the recesses on the top of the valance may show when bolted to my car.

I assume it's plastic...is it solid or hollow?

 

Busy day today.

Installed Roush Springs, American Muscle Shifter, Steeda Shifter Bracket and got my windows tinted ..... Oh and ran a Amp Power cable into the engine compartment under the right fender liner while I had the wheel off. Probably due sub install tomorrow.

 

Looks great Dan. Gosh i miss my car. What are you first impressions of the shifter?

 

Thanks! Wrote about the shifter here ...
