Love the pics. Now I have a closer idea to how mine will look. Mine will just have the black roof as well.

No wonder why it wasn't over there! Congrats!

The front loading probably means nothing other than to prevent someone from slamming it up the ramps. Load it slow and its all good. If you've seen differently please share..
My buddies arrive the other day and the spoiler was ripped off on driver side... backed on for that reason only

it looks quite a bit different in varying light conditions. which I like. it's really intriguing. it also looks like it'll be easy to clean. It looks sorta classy when clean, and I'm hoping it looks sorta street-tough when it's dirty.
Some bad ass cars there sir... Congrats. I wish I was near Cali to see these beauties in person. :thumbsup:

Absolutely beautiful car sir! Envious doesn't begin to describe my feelings right now...

With that said, I can't understand why Ford insists on putting bright chrome/silver lugs on those beautiful black CF wheels!? Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb.

I know its pretty insignificant in the end, but just bugs me. /rant

On your CL ad I see that you stated that, "The car has never been to the track, auto-cross, drag strip, etc." Although you did some 302s type modification. I promise I'm not trying to be a A-hole. I love your collection and envy the R. I just wondering why, when it seems like your gearing your cars towards that kind of action. Again no offenses. Also what are your plans with the R? Will it see any track days? No wrong answer.
The Boss looked and performed better with the mods I did. Lower, wider range of adjustability...better handling on the street. The 302s grill was just for the black look...as I blacked out a number of other things as well (mirror caps, bug spoiler, etc).

I have a simple rule: no safety equipment, no track. period. I've had a nasty incident at the track - with full safety gear - and glad I was protected. The R goes to TC Designs for a custom rollbar in Feb and fixed-back seat / harness mounting...that should give you a sense for what type of use it'll see.
