Wow.
Just wow.

Finally working on removing some gremlins. Today it was the occasional misfire, after that it will be a stupid belt chirp that has come back.

I hate the fact that I wasn't the one to install the Whipple........

It was a fun day as my sone was also working on his four-wheeler

Lastly, I'm loving the final stance of this thing

I really don't like that style headlight but on your car they look amazing. I might have to rethink it.

They do look amazing. I think I may want them as well. (Hint, hint Jaime.) lol

I've seen the car in person and it is stunning. Inside and out. Pictures do not do the car justice at all.

Thanks, I think so too.

Well, there is only one way to find out..... It's easily reversible.

Thanks Tony. Today we will take it for a ride.

As far has the headlights, I'm your huckleberry.

True, but last time I checked those headlights are around $1500. Not too reversable unless someone else wants them for the same price. Also, it says 15-17 Mustang, 18-20 GT350/500. I have a 18 Mustang, so will they fit?

I bet. She is on top of my list. Screw Lamborghini and Koenigsegg, I am waiting on a delivery date for that one. That is by far my dream car.

Crap, I think Jezebel could hear me. Time to spend some garage time...

Alpharex makes them for 18+ but Morimoto does not. Wait for Black Friday, you can get a pair for 20-25% off usually.

By reversible I just mean it's not a permanent change.

Only in the trunk.

Facepalm. I was thinking $1800+. Going to my corner now...

That meant 2018+ not $1800

I finally found the perfect place (thanks Bryan!) for alignments and things that I cannot/won't do (albeit not much).

Too bad I finally found the place with only 4.5 years before I pack up my toys and get the hell outa this shitty state.

The owner is super familiar with the S550 who owns/races a GT350. I have never had an alignment come out this perfect.

That said, I am loving the 21/20 stagger

What a gorgeous car my friend. Looks even better in person.

Shitty state is correct my friend. No bang for your dollar at all.
I think my brother and his wife are looking for a way out as well. LOL

It’s been a minute since I picked up the seat delete (October 2021), but I finally pulled the trigger on the install. I was holding off, waiting for the time when my youngest kids no longer hung out with pops in the back… kinda bittersweet, honestly. But that’s life

I found it interesting that the rear deck panel that comes with the seat delete references SVT...

I was curious if the boys at SA did a solid job reassembling the interior walls—and surprisingly, they did. While I was in there, I took the chance to give everything a good cleaning and even washed the windows with the panels out.

And Bob's your uncle, it's in.

I also took the opportunity to add a snake back inside the car, since I lost the ones on the OEM front seat covers during the SE build. Picked this one up back in December 2023. They say you can’t rush these things—and I guess they’re right.

How’s your quarter windows holding up? I just found this the other day on mine. Needless to say I’m pretty disappointed considering HGP went out of business.
