Today I finished installing the GT350 valance & exhaust. It was straight forward as I already had Borla Touring so I simply had to swap the mufflers. It took a while to get the tips to match side to side but I got it done.

I decided to take a detour while doing this and put my factory drive shaft back in. Why you ask? I just wanted to get back as much of the factory drivability as possible. I have no interest in taking my car to the drag strip and I will not use drag radials either so this should be safe for me due to lack of traction lol. The increase in drivetrain clunking was unwanted and just not worth it for me.
I had my BMR driveshaft loop lying around for some time now so I decided to install it while I was in there. Now I know I said I wont drag my car but I feel this is worth having even with a factory driveshaft. That rubber thingamajiggy could fail so for me a little piece of mind.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks again for taking the time to chat about my accidental valance upgrade lol
I think I'm going to order the parts next week.
I think I am going to add BMR toe links when I do the job also. I have their cradle lock out and the Steeda Differential bushing kit as of now. Wheel hop is still slightly there at times.
I'm glad to hear you got it all together. Although I was hoping getting the tipps aligned was easy since they were stationary and built into valance. I have an OCD thing with that stuff lol.
Post up some pics of the final result outside in the light if you have a chance.
Thanks Again!

Decided to wire in a toggle switch for the fans. Got tired of having to pull so far past the drive up speaker and yell back at it when trying to order my Dunkin Donuts iced coffee lol. They could never hear me because of the fans so I fixed that problem
Did it on my F150 as well
I used blue LED toggles, blue for cool lol.

Overall I like where I put the switch and there is a significant amount of room there for even more switches. There isn't a lot involved to take the top of the console off (although it's a bitch to snap loose) so it's a great place to put them.
Also in New England it's as cold as witches left #%*+ so the fans can be left off for the winter months.
Make sure you update us with your Meth install.

Got my GT350 rear splash guards and they are nicer than I thought. They appear to look like a perfect fit with my GT350 Rear Valance. Looks like one push pun per side is needed (the small hole at bottom of guard) and he rest of the bracket should use existing hardware. I hope to get to install tomorrow but can't make any promises. I'll update with pics if I do
