Great looking car - very similar build to what I have planned for mine !

Could you do me a huge favor & measure that Roush fender emblem (length & height) please ?? Also, where did you get them?

Thanks man! I had to strip the badges off the coil cover kit ($155 I believe) since Roush didn't want to hook me up with them :\. The badges IMHO though were extremely critical for me, so the price was worth it.

If I recall correctly, the width is almost exactly the same as the 5.0 badges, but the Roush one is just a tiny bit taller. I know because I used masking tape around the 5.0 emblems when taking them off and the Roush emblems fit perfectly right in there. Just had to peel back the tape just a little bit since it was a little taller. I can still measure though if you need. Let me know.

Yeah, trying to hunt down a pair myself & hearing crickets :(

Coil cover kit is an interesting idea, I think the emblems by themselves were going for around $100 anyway back when they were available for order.

Thanks for the tip, I may have to just eat the cost & go that route!

Damn. That's pretty pricey for just the fender emblems, lol. But yeah, most definitely man. It wasn't too hard getting off the coil cover kit, although it did require some bending around the edges to get started. Can't even tell though when looking so it should come off pretty easily.

Let me know if you have any questions about it too if you go that route.

I'm lovin that build [MENTION=17459]altjx[/MENTION]

Thanks a lot [MENTION=10751]EcoSwag1990[/MENTION]! Much appreciated.

As far as an update regarding other things, I've just ordered a Roush windshield decal. I was contemplating on doing it before just because of it being "free promoting" and was hoping I could at least get a discount for many obvious reasons, but I really like the way it looks and I'm just enjoying the spotlight a hell of a lot right now.

Got the Roush window decal today. Also made the decision to swap my exhaust system to some Corsa Sports. LOVE the sound in person and I'm very pumped up about doing this tomorrow.

Got my Corsa Sports Exhaust system installed on my GT vert!! Shit yeah! Made the swap from the Roush Axle-backs. Corsa apparently didn't make these exhausts for the verts, but StangHi in Baton Rouge made it work and they sound AMAZING. Gonna post pics of the modification they did to get this to work as soon as I receive them.

I should have gotten these exhausts in the very beginning. Can't believe the quality difference... I actually feel like I'm gonna enjoy my car twice as much now.

These exhausts sound so damn good, I literally forgot to pick up my Roush Axle-Backs before taking off and going on a joy ride. Gonna have to run back tomorrow and grab them.

Also got my Roush window decal on and gonna take pictures of that + the exhaust and modification tomorrow.

More pics below. Video of the corsa sports to come soon!

Corsa xtremes going in next week and looking for a buyer for the sports.

Also ordered DD switchbacks (finally back in stock) and their 4th brake light today.

Went skydiving for the first time and decided to take some pictures while out there:

Making some comparison videos pretty shortly of the Corsa Sports Cat-Back exhaust and the Xtreme cat-back exhaust. For now, here's a cold start with the sports:

WIN! Welcome to the Corsa side lol. I believe the corsa mod consumes more gas because I can't help but punch it every time lol.

Congrats bud.
