Nice to see the progress you've made. Mad props for the lengths you went to to keep this awesome car going, and how much better it is now.
As for stickers...well . P.S. Tail lights and declid look good!

Crazy how you're putting down as much power as me but N/A.
Also interesting, your torque curve. Is the fact that it's N/A means that it's torque curve is not as flat as my FI? Hmmmm

In all honesty I don't quite know, but most of the supercharged cars I have seen have had flatter more broad torque curves than the NA car that I have seen.
Thanks Tony!

Since this was the first weekend I have had time with the car I took care of a bunch of small things that needed to be done. I got the Aeroforce Interceptor all hooked up and zip tied the wires out of the way. You can tell you are driving a Ford because of all the Horsepowers you are making :clap:
Then I went ahead and grabbed the 2013 tail lights and AM plastic bits and threw those on as well. Pulled off the Laguna Seca rear emblem along with the matte black graphic so I can start cutting out the hump for the RTR decklid. I grabbed my Dremel and ended up cutting the hump in half in order to remove it. It was pretty easy work, maybe 30 minutes in total. I ended up using some Rustoleum spray paint on the center section that got cut out to prevent the trunk lid from rusting.
Here it is all done.
I ended up washing the car and started the process for Polish Angel. The paint is in pretty rough shape with scratches and rockchips everywhere on the car and an Angry bird drop kicked my rear bumper so eventually I will have to repaint it anyway. That being said the car looks pretty good after a quick wash.
I was only able to compound the car before I ran out of shade so I ended up throwing my new wheels on. You can see where the angry bird drop kicked the rear bumper.
The wheels fit amazingly and are flush with the fenders so I am excited to put some tires on the car. The wheels themselves are 19x10 F & 19x11 R so I am thinking about 295/30/19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires in the front and a 315/30/19 tire in the rear. I only have about 5/16" clearance between the lip of the wheel and the rear wheel well in the back so a small spacer will probably be required for the rear wheel in order to work properly.
Some after pictures of the Polish Angel
One of my favorite pictures
I also managed to tear off the side pipes today so I will have to have someone weld the floor plan back on and I am going to be putting the stock sidepipes back on the car. What a royal pain in the ***.

Around town short shifting at part throttle and around 2,500-3,000 it feels lazy and uninterested. When you go WOT though you better watch the **** out because the thing will get up and ****ing go!
Once I get the floor pan welded back together I am just going back to the stock side pipes. I have had zero luck with these things since day one. The drivers side rubber grommet always rattled ever since I put them on and the passenger side was always crooked until I hit an expansion joint on a bridge going 120 which knocked it straight finally and now this. Plus with me about to go even lower than stock I don't want to deal with the scraping I hear every now and then from the side pipes.

It's refreshing to see that car finally all cleaned up! It's been just sitting outside for a minute haha. Can't wait to see pics with the new wheels and tires.

Thanks Tony! Once I get everything sorted out I'm sure that I will.
I'm almost positive I will be putting in a set of exhaust springs since the over axle pipes on the passenger side doesn't want to stay connected.
