Just ordered one from hypermotive, not in stock but emailed rtr and should be shipped late next week. Adding it to my winter collection of things to be installed after winter.

Great looking car Joey. I think the only thing it needs it a shelby hood with the vent in the middle. That'd be my perfect 13-14 mustang. Well done man!

Or some of the tabs will break if it's a bit chilly. I guess I should have followed the CDC instructions. Even with broken tabs it can be reinstalled with 3M tape and the tabs need to be removed anyway to install on a 2010 - 2012.

Finally got back to clearing my panel after I painted it Sterling Gray

The clear is making it SPARKLE, I love this color, lol.

It's still wet, but this is after the second coat of clear:
(I think I'll do 2 more coats and call it done)

How do you get clear to go on that shiny and smooth? What clear did you use?

Since Sterling Gray isn't available anywhere in spray-can, I bought the primer, paint and clear from automotivetouchup.com

All done with the paint, just needs a good wet-sanding:

Yes it is and the front fog light trim is painted also, looks much better than stock.
