NEW UPDATE!!!

Update for those of you following this build.

I finally got the car up on jack stands.


I started by removing the bumper. It was actually much easier to remove that dreadful bolt in the bumper by removing the entire fender liner. I also found that my stock bumper had a crack in it.



I know for a fact that this didn't happen while I was pulling it off.









Me and [MENTION=18483]CompO5.sl0w[/MENTION] finished up our custom grill project. You can find the awesome write up he did here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47379
Excellent photos and a perfect write up from start to finish!!! :cheers:






I did notice that by using a wide bladed non-marring pry tool and a hammer I was able to beat the new grill into place. I started at each of the sides and got them clipped and then worked my way to the center, sometimes doing each clip a bit and then moving onto the next one.


I've taken off all the brakes and sent them out to the powdercoater with along with my IRS braces and G-Trac brace from Steeda. Hopefully I will get those back within the next week or so.



I get a little OCD while taking things apart. :lol:



And now the part I've been waiting to buy since I bought the car. Got this package on this past Saturday.



Got an AWESOME deal on a set of Forgestars CF10s 20x9.5 and 20x11 in Deep Concave from [MENTION=11685]Need4SpeedMotors[/MENTION].







:eyebulge::eyebulge::eyebulge::eyebulge::eyebulge::eyebulge:

I'll be ordering the tires shortly, like in the next week or so. Nitto NT555 G2 up front with 275/35R20 and Nitto NT05R in 315/35/R20.

Here's how she's sitting right now.. :(:(:(



I got an email this morning about the Raxiom Smoked LED Side Markers. Called the wife and had her order right then and there. Get an email stating that they were shipped today so I'm hoping that they are here tomorrow.

I'll be posting more updates as I get more things installed. The rest of the Stop the Hop kit, Roush Winglets, Bob's Autosports Catch Can, and the Height Sensors for the Airlift Performance 3H Kit. :clap2::clap2::clap2:

Raxiom Smoked LED Side Marker Install

I got the Raxiom Smoked LED Side Markers from American Muscle the other day. The install was super easy... literally used my fingers to pop them out and then put the new ones in. All I can say is way. Love the cleaner look and how much more darker they are than the ones I had tinted on there. The pictures really don't do the lights justice, there is so much extra light bleeding out in the photo than when you see it in person.

Steeda Parts "Stop the Hop" kit

Next up was the Steeda IRS Subframe Alignment Kit and the Sub Frame Bushing Support System.





I had an issue with one of the Sub Frame Bushings, my fault during the install, and had to order another from [MENTION=10893]David@Steeda[/MENTION]. Thanks for the quick reply and the awesome service as usual. I'll have more pictures of the install once I get that last one in.

Airlift Performance Height Sensors

Last update tonight... I swear these Height Sensors are going to be the death of me... Can anyone enlighten me on a few questions that I have on these. First, how much movement does these sensors need in order to work properly? And can anyone give me any pointers? Do these photos look like proper working order for the sensors? I also have a video if someone wants to take a look I can email it to you.


All the way down (Actually Lifted or Aired Up)


All the way up (Aired out or SLAMMED)

Very nice build! Thanks for giving me an idea of what mods would look like on my new Triple Yellow PP GT. Can't wait to see your powder coated calipers!

Update

Thanks to [MENTION=17052]Ultrakla$$ic[/MENTION] and [MENTION=15480]stealthfrc[/MENTION] for giving me advice on pulling the rear apart. The powerdercoater couldn't figure it out and didn't want to break anything.

Here's the end result of the rear brakes... Finally apart

If anyone attempts this don't hesitate to reach out to me and I will gladly provide any assistance that I can. These are currently at the powdercoater getting some color.

POWDERCOAT ALL THE THINGS

The pieces I've been waiting FOREVER it feels like #powdercoatallthethings. What your looking at is the front Brakes and the IRS Braces, part of the Toe Links, and the G-Trac Brace. The first two pieces from the STEEDA "Stop the Hop" kit.

This is what it looked like when I picked the pieces up. What you don't see is my face... :hail::hail::hail:
