Latest mods: Roush chin splitter & dipped hood vents
I love the look of the new splitter and the hood vents that I just dipped today ... the gray/black look will never grow old on me ... lol
As for those that say "needs to be lowered", the springs/shocks/struts are here, to be installed as soon as we get a nice-weather weekend.
Oh, and the windows are scheduled to be tinted in 4 days

Thanks and yeah it's the Roush splitter ... as far as wax I recently started using "Go Green Waterless Wash" from Chemical Guys ... it details and waxes the car and I've used it on glass/dip/trim with no issues

I started by removing the 3 push pins on each side of the underhood cover so I could get my hand behind it and get to the nut that holds the end of the vent in place.
Once that nut was off, I gently pushed in the tabs on each side until it popped out of the hood, being sure to hold one hand on the vent itself so that it won't pop out and drag across the hood.
When I put them back in I started by aligning the tab at the top/end of the vent, got that under the hood like it normally sits, then grabbed the vent from the other side and pretty much pulled it toward the hood, instead of pushing on it from outside, something I was trying to avoid since the dip wasn't 100% cured / strong yet.
Then I re-attached the nut and the push pins, closed the hood, and took pics
Some pics of the vents:

Didn't take pics again but I did spray a 2nd coat and then a little more into the corners to make sure I got full coverage

Car is looking great Gabe. I do like the grey and black color combo too.
That Roush chin makes the front end and the dipped hood vents break up the grey. She'll look even more awesome after being tinted and then lowered! Keep us posted bud!

Car looks great Gabe! I plan on getting the roush splitter for mine when it gets here. It's very "trans-am" era looking to me. Kind of like the original Mach 1/Boss

Thanks guys, I can't wait for tomorrow ... the DSS driveshaft is going in, the reso-delete is getting done, and my newly acquired custom-blended oil and trans/rear-diff fluids are going in too
Like I said, I can't wait!!

That's an exciting day. I'm hoping to get a chance to do my oil this weekend

Getting the D/S installed now.
The tech forgot to order some 3" stainless pipe so the reso delete will have to wait unfortunately.
Oil change, trans fluid change, rear-diff fluid change and I'm outta here.
Can't wait! Hope no vibes show up.
