Question Poll - Will you make any mods to your stock Boss 302?

I saw the link to this 'Boss style' fuse box cover, and wondered if the guys who are adding all the Ford Racing performance parts & Laguna Seca bits to their 500A Boss 302s would also consider adding purely cosmetic touches to their track beast?

Thanks for the link I think I'll order one. I'll be doing both and am currently working with APR on a custom CF front splitter that splits the difference between the Boss and LS splitters.

Side exhaust discs drilled out to 3/4", skip shift unplugged, perhaps shifter bracket replacement & Trackey.
Otherwise stock.

Done:

Windows tinted 20%

3M clear on the front bumper, headlights, hood, rockers, mirrors, and edge of roof.

Future:

Probably change the mufflers, do the JLT oil separator, and do a 4 point roll bar with five point harness belts.

it prevents -on the passenger side mostly- to have oil being fed back into the induction and therefore dirtying up your fuel mixture. it collects that oil in a little can, its super easy to install or even remove @20seconds 2 clicks.

fuse box cover

Has anyone gotten one of these yet? Interested, but wanted opinions of quality and looks before purchasing.

They make them for both sides but passenger side is the one most often installed. I only put on the pass side. Very easy to install, clean and reinstall and if you did not know about the separator you would think it a factory part.
Very pleased.

I really want that 302S hood and i am digging the functional wing steeda has been showing off that looks like its the same height as the LS wing. Car already has headers, catted x, and a steeda CAI. i think that is all the power i want/need on the track or street. it can be a handful on launch already.

i am thinking once i learn to drive the car on factory suspension and get most of what it has i will do a bit of work there. i am leaning towards some Koni sport dampers. my home track needs more damping in some places than my factory dampers can handle.

i do a lot of car shows with my local club, i would like a CO painted radiator cover, I am waiting for someone to come out with a smooth one though so i can ditch the prop rod and go with hood struts. i's also like to bring some CO inside the car to brighten things up a bit. maybe nothing but a grabber pony CO shift ****, i don't want it to be gaudy.

I've been really good so far and my car has remained stock for over seven months. I will most definitely be adding some of the LS pieces such as front brake cooling ducts and the transmission scoop from FRPP, I see a Hurst shifter in my future too, along with additional gauges (LS pod plus non-FRPP gauges unless the price comes down). Additionally, when I decide to track the car, different wheels and tires too.

I voted for leaving mine stock. I maybe in the far future will but mosler axles, one piece drive shaft, and maybe a set of 4:11 gears. Hopefully one day someone will have swapped out the stero and put the shaker 500 in........clean no splicing.

iSimple Sirius/iPod kit (done), Pioneer front speakers (done), Kenwood Amp (got it waiting to install). I'm spending my money on personal driving instruction, the mod that doesn't lose value

Great vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPfxt...e_gdata_player)
