LOL I will be sure to mess with him some. I don't have too many reasons to bug him right now. I am just playing the waiting game at this point.

Got the car detailed and PPF’d last week. The SA hood is much more labor intensive than the stock one due to the extra vents and the fact that they’re not removable like the center vent is. Lots of curves and little sections that need to be shaped and trimmed. I also installed the “go like hell start button today.

Had some trouble removing the stock starter cover I see?

Love the look of the start button. Interesting that the hood vents aren’t removable, I’m sure that made PPF a little more challenging. Car looks fantastic, enjoy it!

Yeah I was a little surprised they're not removable as well. I think it just simplifies the manufacturing process for them.

The car is definitely being enjoyed by me........and drooled at by many other people . I've got a couple of car shows I'm taking it to at the end of September. I'm also hoping to get it on the dyno this month to see what kind of power she's really making with the new Whipple and tune.

Hi David. I noticed your button is not seated all the way. Give it a good push until the LED is flush inside the hole of the start button. Here is mine for an example. Car is looking good buddy!

Thanks for the advice and the picture. I’ll try when I get home from my current work trip.

And stop giving me ideas with all the carbon in that picture

Do as I say, not as I do..... It will save you a lot of money, haha.

Although..... it would hide the blemishes around that start button

Thankfully only forum type people will notice those . I have thought about those carbon pieces before, but they’re low on my list. The x-pipe and and louvered quarter window glass are currently at the top.

Unless you’re squirreling away a set of the louvered glass you’re SOL. They stopped making them over a year ago.

yeah, unfortunately. I’m hoping a set magically pops up somewhere, but I’m not holding my breath.

Yep, I have them on my car and hope I never have to replace them.

Parts Farm and Midway Mustang are probably your best bets in finding them off of a wrecked car. I’ve seen them pop up on eBay from various sellers every now and then. They don’t last long and the prices are usually ridiculous.
