Nice pics.
I know mfg decals aren't everyone's thing but I'm kinda starting to like them if they're done right and all the same color like yours is. Were you able to get them all in that color from the mfg's or did you have some made?
Thanks man!

I totally agree, its not for everyone but I had to give a shout to the sponsors. They've really done so much for me and the car.

In regards to the actual graphics, I layed the file(s) out in illustrator and had it all done in the same vinyl color to match the wheels. I operate a design business where I do a lot of auto and branding stuff.

The original plan was to apply the livery design I came up with and compete in time trials but covid happened. We'll see what next season has in store.

All these young whipper snappers with their fancy ceramics, Graphene and SiO2 waxes and sealants. lots of money for products that do very little. Had to put on my old man white tube soxs with shorts. And bust out one of the best polishes made in the last 40 years. Its still winning best liquid wax awards in 2020. That smy cordless blower im holding if you are wondering LOL use it to dry car.

Lol, measured in pints shows how old it really is. Great result though. The only thing I like about modern SiO2 sealants is that they last for damn near ever, especially in the desert like here. 6 months of regular washes and the water is still beading.

Forever? This stuff is from the days before California got a hold of everything and it all became eco safe. LOL you should read the back of this can. it states that if used on boats barnacles can not stick to them and if you happen to need to repaint something on your car in order to remove this coating first you need steel wool and mineral spirts. Dont think any modern coating can claim that LOL Its why the front of the can says life time protection LOL. This coating also is layerable and after so many coats becomes chip resistant. I think this is why the company is gone now and this stuff is hard to find because you never needed to buy any more. This new stuff is designed to not last they want you buying more and more. Cant tell you how many bottles of 20 dollar something i have that says its once a year toughest on earth 10 hardness blah blah that a month later.... im re applying. So I went back old school to stuff that works back when a product was sold on its merits and not marketing. God yes I am old LOL

Roush axle backs and an FRPP X-pipe is what I had on my old Mustang and it was nuts. Your setup must sound mean as Hell. Digging the black paint.
Thanks,
Mean it does Roush site, the car I posted. Demos the sound, but the car has a resonator .

Was on the fence some what, however knowing Roush. Jumped in for the axle backs.

They are truly nice tru the full RPM range. The car is very happy and has found its song.

Bar- B-Q black is the paint tuff stuff.

Disabled the bass roll off with forscan on my 9 speaker system, trying it out to see if it’s better. I have replacement speakers for the rear in case the factory blow up. Also did a quick check of the master cylinder line to clutch and it was out, so did the quick add a zip tie fix to it, we’ll see if it keeps it in place.

why not replace it with the steeda kit and get rid of that plastic?

figure at least 3 mags per shooter for a outing, about 6 months depending how often you practice.

I love liquid glass. I have always used that on my Cobra since it was new. It gives the car an amazingly deep shine and I love the fact that you can keep layering it after it cures. It's protects the pain enough to prevent swirl marks from washing.
