Car looks awesome!

Glad you enjoyed the experience. Turn those nannies off next time to wring the most out of her on autocross.

Great thread, keep it going.

No nannies..... But I am scared bro!

Great shots/editing. Looks like you a great time. Good for you!

Thanks brother. Even though I wish I was at Roebling. I want to see a few pics of you in action man.

So how high an RPM did u reach in 1st during your runs?

Most of the course I was around the 6-7k RPM most of the course, with a few spots reaching redline.

50Deep , I like your new wheels . I would like to get a set where did you get them from .
, and what is the price of them.

These are the Signature Wheel SV101. I ordered them through [MENTION=27861]PositiveGMotorworks[/MENTION]. If you send them a PM asking for the "50 Deep" special I am sure they will take care if you. Their pricing and customer service were outstanding. Would buy another set of these wheels without hesitation

S550 Carbon GT350 Hood Vent and Fender Vents

Well my adventure continues. The car is over getting ceramic coated at Imperial Works in Sacramento. This is the last bit of preparation before the Fabulous Fords Forever show in Buena Park at the end of this month. I stopped in to check out the cars progress and drop off a few things. I have to say that the Ceramic coating has a definite effect on the depth of the paint, and shine on the exposed carbon fiber. I will highlight it more in a different post, but I wanted to show how my S550 Carbon mirror caps came out

I also wanted to share some teaser photos of the new parts I am happily going to debut for S550 Carbon. They will be releasing a hood vent and fender vents for our cars. I provided some input on a new variation of the GT350 Hood Vent. This is an all carbon fiber piece with a metal black mesh screen. It is inspired by the 13-14 GT500 as to keep some mustang heritage. They have also sent me one of, if not the first, set of all carbon fiber fender vents. A second option for the fender vents will be a carbon fiber / plastic hybrid.

Overall impressions are very good. I will get more detailed about fitment and quality after they have been ceramic coated. I had to drop them off at the detail shop and did not get to do any test fitting or mocking up. Once I do I will provide a detailed review. S550 Carbon has been really good about taking my input on changes or improvements so I have enjoyed working with Dan. For now I will leave you with these, and please post your thoughts as they will be coming to market soon.

Finally a decent looking hood vent. I think the factory one looks pathetically cheap.

Do you know if they will offer the hood vent painted black?

Car looks great BTW. The coating makes it pop.

Thanks bro! At this point in time they have been focusing on the exposed CF look. This is not to say they aren't open to that idea of painting it black. I will ask and find out for you.

ZL1 Addons Shop Tour

Had the opportunity to visit Santa's workshop today. By that I mean the HQ of ZL1 Addons. Had the opportunity to meet the owner John, take a tour of his laboratory, and visit the nearby production facility in Poway. I will be writing a seperate article about my experience and the company here shortly. I also couldn't leave Santa's workshop without a few early Christmas gifts Might as well subscribe now. More to follow!

Got the car back from Imperial Works in Sacramento after the Ceramic Pro treatment. The end result and customer service were top notch. Will be going to them from here on out and recommend them for sure. They also did a little photo shoot with the car. Can't wait to get the rest of the pictures

Looks great and it sounds like you got first class service. And I'm betting they were "California proud" of their work also. $$

With a heavy heart I have to list the car for sale. I found a deal on an R and need to let my baby go to make room. A full for sale advertisement will come soon, but if you are interested please review my build thread and send me a PM

All that work just to sell it? I mean an R is an R butttt.....

The premium on an R isn't that high, even with 5-10k adm. with all you've put into your car especially, it just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I just don't get the R. If I got one, I would have added back seats, AC, stereo, etc. other than rarity, it just doesn't seem that special over the regular 350.

Good luck with the sale man. I loved following your build thread, it was informative and very helpful. Hopefully we can see good things to come with the R.

 

[50 Deep]

The R I have is at MSRP. At this point I will make a reasonable attempt to obtain it.

Congrats on the R man. You're going to make someone real happy with your current car!
