Where did you get the spoiler painted to make sure it matched factory color?? Car looks so sick, you have many of the mods I want to do including the Roush heat extractors, though I think I would want to get those painted as well to match the gloss black.

I actually had Ford do it. I wanted the extractors painted but they were gun shy about it. They told me the paint wouldn't hold well. I'm going to end up painting the extractors and the chin spoiler, just not right now. I've got other mods I want to buy first. Thanks for liking my ride, appreciate it.

Interesting, I wonder why they didn't think the paint would hold well, either way they still look sweet in the unpainted color, kind of make them stand out!

They said the texture of the extractors was the reason, but I've seen at least one person on here paint them so I know it is possible

Thanks man. I haven't done anything recently because I am saving some money to buy a Whipple. I am doing some suspension mods this coming week though. I almost bought headers but decided to wait on it for now. I figured I could get atlas 3 to 4 mods for the same price as the headers and installation.

No problem, and agreed! I'm also going to be saving for a SC kit in the upcoming weeks. Gonna be out in Detroit for another week before I can get back home, unfortunately :(, so I've had to push back the dates for my mods too. Thought about getting some headers as well, but maybe after the SC. Do you do all of the work on your car? Or do you usually bring it in to a shop?

I've done the majority of the work myself. The exhaust was done by a shop cause I don't have a lift, but for the most part I try to do as much as I can with the little knowledge that I have.

Just installed BMR vertical links. This was the first suspension part I have done on my own and the first part was a pain in the ass. The second went much more smooth once I realized what I actually needed to do to get it to fit properly. Big thanks to Kelly from BMR for helping me out. Now to see how much they help with wheel hop.

Just purchased a JLT coolant tank to get rid of that ugly stock one. Will post pics once it gets here. Nice way to clean up under the hood.

Added the JLT coolant tank. Love the way it looks under the hood as opposed to the OEM one.

All those the delron with spherical bearings? Let me know what you think. I see they have three options.
