Looks great!
Replaced my 2018 plastic radiator guard with a CF. Also added rear lower spoiler extensions.

Anchor room build plates fit really well in spot over the radiator

Just took it out for its usual morning drive and then back in the garage.

I have noticed the neighbor across the street who is renting has a little old toyota of some kind that always sits on the drive with a black plastic bag covering up a broken side window. (rolls eyes).

So how was the install? I have a full set waiting to go on and I saw the 4" screws. I didn't feel like attempting it after my jacking rail escapade.
Pretty easy, I was annoyed having to take my wheels off to install the rears. I was expecting to have to enlarge a metal hole to 5/16th" only to find it was plastic so enlarging the hole took a whole 2 seconds. Fit it great, very subtle too and that is what I wanted. Wife didn't even notice what I did because they look like they came with the car.

Congratulations! My sister bought an Explorer ST there about a month ago and I was talking to the guy about that Mustang.

Sunday night;

Sunset on Skyline Drive, in Shenandoah National Park. Words absolutely cannot describe. Just fantastic.

Most of the other people that were up there were parked at the over-look spots, so I had the road to myself as the sun set. And once the sun had set, I got to drive it at night.

If you live in the city, you have no idea of what real darkness is like. Absolute pitch-black darkness. Turn the dash lights all the way down, turn the SYNC display all the way down. Headlights blazing a path through the darkness as the road turns, dips, swoops and curves. Exhaust on quiet to enjoy the night, with the buzzing of cicadas echoing off the stone mountain cliff-cuts by the road. Keeping a real sharp eye out for deer and black bears.

And around 20 degrees cooler.

Unbelievable.

And driving back home on the freeway, the classical FM station was playing beautiful choral music. If I had been anymore relaxed, I would have melted into the seat.

I know that was great.
Tell me... I detest my rear camera on my dash screen at night when I am backing. I have great night vision and the light blinds me. Never think about digging out manual, but you made me wonder.
Can you quickly kill the dash screen display light? Would love to be able to do this when backing. Had a Ram that it was very easy to kill display light

Finally installed the Steeda clutch pedal spring. The stock spring was a BITCH to remove, mainly because I am left handed so imagine pushing the clutch pedal down with my right hand while reaching my left hand into the car to snag the spring/perch with my left. I honestly tried holding the vise grips with my right hand but it was like trying to sign my name with my right...just can't control it enough! I finally got it after a lot of swearing and sweating...and the difference in the feel of the pedal is great! But why was I born left handed damn it!

This line does not compute....

Happy you didn't find any deer/bears!
To enjoy the night. To be quiet and enjoy the sounds of nature. Stereo off, low RPMs, windows down, active exhaust in quiet mode.

Would have been the perfect time for a convertible.
