No such thing as "too much chrome!"

I don't have any good pics of the doors right now. There's some blue welting in the seams, and I added a blue panel around the door handle.

An interesting backdrop in your photo. The colours of the building reflect the colours of your wheels and paint; nice. There is even a Mustang in the background; what are the odds of that in Sweden!New wheels incoming

Thank you, yes once I saw the color combo on the wall and the Stang in the background the shot was a given
.Relatively speaking there are quite many Mustangs here actually.

Can't have us at the bottom of the first page, lol...Anyways, went to Steeda Valdosta, GA on Friday where they straightened out some concerns I had about how another shop installed my stuff (holy crap I had an f'd up ride...more to follow) and to install Steeda's adjustable coilovers, adjustable sway bars, and adjustable end links. Springs were the 250 lb and the helper springs are on as well. Sway bar full soft in the rear, medium on front (can't rem exactly what he said) and shocks set halfway between firm and soft. OMG! it rides amazing now, better than I could have EVER imagined. I seriously thought it handled pretty damn good before, boy was I waaaay wrong. I still am amazed at how it goes in and out of the roundabouts now, really looking forward to pushing it and also seeing if the handling in the wet is improved (I bet it is) from before. Ok, to the bad...some of this is rookie and if I had installed, wouldn't even have made this mistake; the Steeda rear shock mounts were installed upside down! No wonder I had so much squeaking, they were reservoirs for dirt, mud, and water. Next, one of the front end links was installed on the wrong side of the strut. They checked the CB005 install, the ahole crossthreaded 3 of the 4 main subframe bolts in the IRS. They also didn't install any bumpstops on the rear shocks. Lastly, the alignment in front actually had a tiny bit of POSITIVE camber! The Steeda tech fixed all of it. I have photos the tech took so I can go to that shop and raise hell. Like I said, now the car is perfect in handling and stance...two pics for y'all...
@Nagare I know, I know, paint the calipers...the paint is ordered and on the way!

Been away for a while attending my other hobbies, but am back here in sunny SFLA.
Finally got her all washed up and detailed - next time I will let my son handle this job, this is not for an old man like me anymore.
Anyone have some Advil? lol

I've been slacking on posting pics here because I made an Instagram account, anyway here's a recent one with the windshield blacked out like all the cool kids do!
Washed and waxed this morning.

It has been awhile since I bothered waxing, lots of swirls still but leaving that for early next year. Debating whether I want to waste the time ceramic coating too because I don't have anywhere to garage and no second car to leave it to cure properly.
Soon enough I'll post up my fancy new wheels here too

Shared a couple of RAW files (always look so plain and boring to me) with a buddy (noir_s550 on IG) and here's the first I got back. Can't believe how much he was able to get out of it.
Also the first peek at the new wheels!
