Yeah, I was gonna go twins but as the gt350 info came in I started to dream of the possibilities of a short runner intake 9000rpm Na beast. 600 na hp??? Guess we're gonna find out...

Awesome! I've been seeing that they are putting down more than expected so it'll be interesting to see how much Ford left on the table. I'd like to eventually go FI but there is something about being NA. I can't wait to see what configuration you end up getting and how your build goes.

We're in our basement as the storm comes... what else to do besides sit at my desk and photoshop all the things

LOL! We might be going doing to the safe room in a few. If your bored feel free to put some bronze MRR's on a DIB

I am not sure what to think about the RTR grill yet, need to see it in person. Honestly think the grill delete will probably look better.

As far as wrapping....I had considered doing the roof, but what I'm more interested is the lower rear valence. My base dar doesn't have the two piece rear bumper but it has a body line moulded in. Xtreme quoted me $225 to have the lower section wrapped which is fair, but if I thought I could do a decent job Id rather do it myself. That's probably a tough panel to learn on, though.

Find me two pics at the same or similar angle.

The lower valance is textured so I'm not sure how well the material will stick or if you need to add some type of adhesion promoter to it or not. That's definitely a lot more involved than a flat roof.

Lower valence on a base car is just painted. Texture wouldn't be a problem but all the contour might.

hmmmm I was thinking it was just textured like the premium without the painted center piece. Is the bumper just a 1 piece?

Yeah it's all one piece. I want to wrap it to

-protect against rock chips behind the rear wheel (where your car is textured plastic). My car already has an alarming amount

-look better. The black lower section similar to the premium car just looks nicer. Except I want it all black. Without the dody color piece by the backup light.

In my basement too, so let me catch up on all the posts!

Heat Gun would be your best friend on wrapping the rear valence. All those curves would take a lot of patience.

The bumper is all one piece on our base cars, no rear valance options for us yet!

Jake,

I like the smoke tails, the less bright your tails the more your wheels stand out.

Also, I hope you can come, your expertise in the suspension components would be really welcome......and your spring compressors. ;)

All this FI talk is really making me regret the good decision that I made today, but my FI time will come!

BTW, I bought a house in Hendersonville so soon there will be install meets at my place on the regular!

Also, it's really damn cool how the midTenn crew is shaping out.

Hope every stays safe in the weather tonight! :cheers:

Also, jake....I like the smoked tails better than the darker charcoal. Almost gives them a candied look. For the front....I could go either way but I do think the reflector being left amber looks a little better.

Did I miss something? I'm standing outside right now. It's drizzling at best. Guess you guys haven't been through many hurricanes...:cheers:
