Definitely on the list in the future to obtain a jellyfish cover.

You are always full of good ideas for white Mustang verts! I have used several of them already!

I got a jellyfish cover for Christmas. Went with the JLT version rather than buying an aluminum tank and having to take all the hoses apart and bleed the system afterwards. Guess I am just getting lazy....

Looks good to me!

I like the covers... I am just saving my pennies for something a little more "custom"

Ready for some updates? I know I am!

I got some awesomeee carbon fiber goodies from my best buds at Lethal Performance, which they tell me are worth 5hp each (except the spoiler is worth 10hp!)

as usual, install was a freaking nightmare because I have a convertible, but after a while (and a few times walking away to calm down), I think it looks pretty great!

Yes, I drilled holes into my Performance Pack trunk. No I did not have a template. Yes, I cried a little. No, I do not regret it.

That was a couple of weeks ago.

Today, I visited the absolute LEGENDS at UPR Products. While I'm sure I will be back to give them more of my hard earned money, I did leave with a pumpkin replacement.

Again, as usual, install was a huge pain.

While I am sure this install could happen in about 10-15 minutes on a normal car, having a whipple 10 rib kit makes things a bit more complicated.

After positioning the tank, I realized that I had some "interferance" between the top port and the supercharger pulley:

yeah, it's touching.

I found an awesome video by a 6g member (Tyler Ording on youtube, not sure what his 6g name is) about moving the radiator forward, and it worked a treat!

Basically, you take these radiator supports off, drill a new hole about an inch further up, and re-bolt everything using that hole instead. I agree with him that even though there are 2 bolts there from the factory, 1 is very sufficient.

Doing this essentially pulls the top of the radiator forward by about an inch, and voila, plenty (hopefully) of space!

I probably have 5/8" gap there now... fingers crossed that will be enough!

You know after an install like this, I GOTTA do a whole photo shoot!

I'm pumped!

Wow, robertwsimpson !!

I also own a white vert, so I am doubly appreciative of the styling you did!

The white rocks!

When listening to the music, I was waiting for a Roman Legion to surround the car and fight off the infidels, goths, etc.!! Heck...with that music, you could have placed it in the middle of a "Gladiator" movie and it would seem right at home!
