That does look good, with all the talk about doing this so far I think you are the only that did it. Did they say anything about it being plug and play, just connect it into existing wire harnesses? If I did anything like this I think I would go all temps like oil, trans rear and engine. With the ability of the engine to go into limp mode I personally don't see much of a need for oil pressure. By the time you even see it the car would be in limp mode anyway. It seems to me for tracking it is all about temps.

Yep, for guys like me we would be lucky to see much of a gain but we have some real racers here and I would hope they see more of a difference.

 

I think I dropped about that much weight from my exhaust so maybe this will balance that out

 

LOL...that actually is a good point

 

I didn't get to talk with the installer but here is a link to another forum where a memeber just received their gauges with instructions and this thread gives you some information on the install.

DONE!
I think it looks better than the Faux! I think it actually looks like it was intended.
Gary, I give you all the credit. I would have never had the Cahounas to try this one on my own!
Its plenty sturdy, the plastic is thick. I would expect no reduction in strength. The Grill was painted body color and then masked off and painted black. So, I touched up the areas that showed a small bit of body color paint from the drilling process with some flat black paint and a Q-Tip. It looks great and I'm a perfectionist!





And here is Mod # 3 for this week end!

 

The box looks like the same box my triple guages came in....

 

That is a transmission scoop

 

Nice work Bossdog. I agree, it looks more factory than the original. I still think this is what they had in mind given the pattern on there. I looked at mine again this morning and the honeycomb "fake" mesh structure actually creates the radius edge that PTRocks recommended, so I'm not sure chamfering is necessary.

What specifically did you buy for touch up paint? The areas where I drilled only have a couple small spots of orange, but I've picked up several rock chips in the other parts of the grille that could use touching up.

 

I'm not planning anything as exciting as you guys, but once my joints cooperate, I'll be using this:





The center section is removable to allow for easier access. I need to make sure I put it back in position before driving off! The wheel chock block is removable to allow placing the sloping ramps in front to drive off forwards, if necessary.

 

Ah you did it, nice! I'd still like to get a set of just the ramps.

 

Pretty cool. What did that set you back? Might work on my tilt-bed trailer if I decide to put on that front splitter. Hmm.

 

The ramps by themselves are real nice. If you get a set of the long ones, I'd suggest going with the two piece set for convenience of storage. Make sure you check what slope you need. Low cars (or long overhangs like what happens with the LS splitter in place), require the extensions.

 

Can you say car shows

 

...They sell mirrors...

Biggest problem using them for car shows is physically getting the ramps to the show - I'd need a support vehicle pickup truck.

 

Hey Gary, are you gonna put an LS front splitter on your car to balance out the rear spoiler?

 

I put a Raptor shift light and a K&N drop in filter in,,, oooooh

 

Installed the Roush axlebacks, put on my Vanity plate, Installed Redline Tuning hood strut kit..

 

I was thinking the exact same thing on the Chamferng suggestion.

For paint I just used what I had on the shelf, Krylon Flat black. I sprayed it in a Snapple Cap and used a Q-Tip. It worked really well

 

Pics?

 

I did notice that too myself once I saw the more detailed pics.
