Then and now. The visual evolution thread.

Finished product still looks amazing. Are those the actual hood pins or the ones that came with the hood?

They are the faux pins that come with. One of those was missing too but another M6G member shipped one of up for me.

I’ve been told that the actual pins don’t have anything to mount on under the hood in that position.

Totally forgot to put the Vortech.. LOL Yeah this one has the V3JT.

Given the weight of my car, I wish I had the big brake kit in the rear also. But even with the stock size rear brakes, it slowed down from 150 - 160 on the front straight at Buttonwillow without fading.

Typically, anything I change on a car is along the lines of "OE Plus", so my before and after is subtle. My car was delivered in March 2017, so the following is over a 6 year period.

First thing, a Borla Touring cat back, the first car I have ever felt the need to change the exhaust on. I'm not a loud exhaust sort of guy, but I at least wanted to hear something. The standard exhaust was just far too subtle, even my Falcon was noisier.

The standard mats were cheap and nasty, I replaced them with some locally made items with red piping and white stitching. Much plusher and easier to clean.

The wheels were the biggest and most expensive item I changed. It took me a while to settle on these, ideally I wanted the early GT-350 design but they were hard to source in Australia. These wheels were fitted to the Australia-only GT R-Spec. It also allowed me to get rid of the horrible Perelli's for some MPS4S's.

Next, a Ford Performance catch can, sort of a cosmetic thing too if you think about it.

Blue coil covers followed. I sort of like the blue set against the red paintwork.

That then made the coolant tank look shabby, it gradually discoloring over time. Again, an OE Plus look was what I wanted, so went with a black cover rather than total replacement.

Dead pedal trim................

After changing the wheels, everyone was screaming at me to change the lugs out, took me a year to agree.......................

Such as small alteration that turned out to a big visual change, and where it sits today.

Then:

Did you order your car? Asking because the MSRP for the nickel painted wheel version of the Performance Package was around $200 more than the black wheel Performance Package. So, dealers seldomly ordered for a lot car.
