My 2012s Progress with Mods *pic heavy*
Well I'm doing this kind of late. Had the car almost a year and I'm going to post up the things I've done to the car in chronological/date order starting from when I took delivery. Some pics are a little off since I took the pictures well after doing the mods. It'll be a nice way to keep track of how far its come and I'll update as I do more stuff to it.Apoligies for not the best pics, most taken with an iPhone.
The way it looked the day I took delivery 8/21/11
At only 41 miles I had installed a Roush Axleback 9/10/11
Next up were some black 19" RTR wheels with Falken F452s 255 up front, 275 rear 10/22/11
20% Tint all around 01/15/12 (pics taken in Spring with stock wheels on)
Little under hood stuff done. Boss coil covers, dual JLT oil separators.
Car was lowered on Steeda Ultralites with Koni STR.Ts, GT500 mounts, BMR adjustable Panhard Bar.
Next was the Boss front splitter and Roush side splitters. 7/1/12
And as of now how it sits after I traded trunks with someone in preparation for a OEM GT500 spoiler with Gurney flap. Has the GT duckbill spoiler on. 7/29/12
It is currently in the body shop getting an OEM GT500 spoiler with Gurney flap, trunk and Roush louvers painted. I was going to have them paint the decklid in flat black to replace the GTCS vinyl I lost in the trade, but decided against it. Ill go with vinyl down the line. I will update as the fun continues

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Great catch Bill!! I had a buddy come over and lend a hand when I lowered it. He was passing me the wheels and I was throwing them on in a hurry to get done by dark. We weren't paying attention to the rotation direction. Tires are mounted ok, just left wheels on the right side and vice versa. Noticed when shining the tires, it was fixed later that day. Of course I took some good pics with them backwards lol. Good catch!!

Thanks! Last winter I drove it occasionally but only when there was good weather (It shot up into the 50s a lot). We didnt even have 1 storm with snow accumulation. I have an 02 Explorer that I drive. Tranny issues but Im getting that fixed soon.

Thanks for compliments guys!
I'm into detailing so yeah it's waxed up. Believe it or not in a lot of the pics it had no wax, just washed. I have a ton of different products for cleaning it, just not enough time to actually do it. Especially buffing, which is why I'm so **** with what touches the car, to Reduce swirling, since I have like no time to play.
