Thank you [MENTION=17124]Stage_3[/MENTION]...and damn, a stage 3 GHIG '13 Roush is pretty f'n sweet too! :cheers:

I'm looking forward to painting the ugly dull silver/grey wheel hubs(if that's the proper term)(those parts actually have some rust on them too...grr) to black and the calipers...I'm thinking color match the body...or something else? (not black)...what say all you?

Yeah those hubs on the rotors are pretty damn ugly as is. I like the ones on the GT350.. On my calipers I left them the stock gray but I changed out my pad to EBC Red Stuff. besides being a superior pad and way less brake dust over stock, the red accent looks killer popping out of the gray calipers. I'll try and post up a photo.

[MENTION=25333]Dsquared[/MENTION]....c'mon man! You show us those killer under-hood shots and not explain if you did those yourself or bought like that...:tsk: jk, lol...but the question remains
Agreed, his stance is spot on...I need to do something about my front...@BMR_Tech...Kelly, those lowering springs that match or come close to GT350R springs...where they at? I have a feeling, those would get my stance where I want it...my back stance I have no issue with and of course its BMR.

JLT is the place to go for painted underhood accents, their work is flawless..IMO it's just too much work to do these myself and expect anything close to JLT's work.

I have BMR 089's on the front and run 19" wheels.

BTW, I see you are going PMAS nguage Lund..if you havent already thrown down for those, I highly recommend Rob Shoemaker for your Nguage and tune.

I just may do that since I go to South Florida every Christmas. I have a used nGauge from a member here...no tunes yet and I probably need to get it checked to see if it is married to the original owner's car. And thanks for the info on JLT as well.

Got any more pics of it?
Thanks!

Roush spoiler..don't buy the ebay knockoff, it's garbage IMO.

Looking good man!

Garbage in what way? I'm looking at a few of the cheap ebay ones and they look pretty nice without breaking the bank at all. I'm not interested in drilling at all either so I'd make it work with just the 3M tape.

I bought one from a company in Cali off Ebay..made by Ikon, and it was a mess in every way. The paint finish was for crap, scratches, pits, warped, cheap attachment hardware, no pattern included for holes. Maybe I just got a bad one as others seem happy, but it's just my personal experience. I sent it back. You can compare the real deal Roush spoiler with the knock-off..lesson learned for me, not going to skimp to save a few bucks here and there for inferior products, haven't since.

Great, I'll be down in Ft Lauderdale at Christmas time and watch, I'll end up behind [MENTION=28654]Nagare[/MENTION] and his new wing held on with 3m tape comes flying off at me while on 595 or 95, jk lol...bro, just make sure you use the adhesive prep pads and PROPERLY prep the surface before applying the tape. 3m tech support is pretty good when I called and asked about the various automotive adhesives...good info on their site too...and no I don't work for 3m (I wish).

 

[Nagare]

Well damn, thanks for that shot [MENTION=25333]Dsquared[/MENTION], looks like crap. And [MENTION=29061]5.0_SD[/MENTION] I'd definitely prep it right and make sure it was secured, wouldn't want my $100 flying off (unless it looked as bad as the shot above, then I wouldn't mind!).
