Installed my ZL1 Addons rock guards and my tail light covers. Pretty well done for now until summer time. Now it's just time to enjoy it.

Which tail light covers are those?

Finally picked up a cover to keep her clean.

Friendly suggestion to everyone taking photos of their cars - don't choose the backlit angle!

Here are two great looking cars showing us the shaded side of their gray cars with black wheels, (and black rock guards for one).

Even my Outrageous Orange looks best with the sun shining directly on it.

Thank you and carry on...

It is painful. Adding my son's WRX increased my insurance over $2k a year.

My insurance premiums shudder at this thought and we have clean records. Good luck, I hope they (your insurance company) aren't reading this!

I made the design myself with a tablet; sent the image to Yoast Fabrication. They do all kinds of custom stuff; lettering as well.

No drilling required. They send you the emblem with a 3M adhesive backing. If you prep the surface with 3M adhesive promoter, it will stick permanently.

I see they make several different types. What style did you do? Chrome? Brushed Metal?

But aren't you taking the cover off of her soon?

As someone who spent a lot of time driving high performance cars at that age I think its awesome and encourage the fact that he get to drive it. BUT I would highly recommend there be a boring option used regularly as he most likely wont have the experience to handle that car in all situations he will find himself in even if its not his fault. I wrecked an 01 MDX in high school because I didnt handle a lady running a stop sign in front of me right, she was 100% at fault but I still got wrecked. Now take that and add in 460hp and the cops will immediately assume you son was at fault, not a good experience for him.

Plus we all know how young adults can get with hormones and high school drama and just life stress of becoming an adult, we didnt always make the right decisions and acted on those stupid impulses and thoughts in our head.

They have a Jeep Wrangler that he is using to learn to drive.

Took what will probably be my last pics of Lucy. Since at least 3 air bags went off it's unlikely they'll fix it. Not a ding or scratch anywhere else.

why not buy it back and repair enough to get it up to dedicated OFFROAD vehicle? Since you wouldn't give a damn about costmetics, maybe repairable for <$8000 incl labor? Question is how much of the frame is bent. If it's just the front impact members then there's hope.

Track orgs don't requires airbags AFAIK which means you're at most a rollbar and racing seats+hans+harness away from track duty.

and cars are ENTIRELY too protective/safe/forgiving of stupidity. IMO mandatory motorcycle for 2 years before being allowed to drive 3500lbs+ of death.

Damn, what a shame, but moving forward I hope you are going to get into another Mustang.

Bullit grilles. Thanks!

I use the cover daily. So much dust on the car every day. And I was tired of cleaning night before a Cars and Coffee just to clean again the next morning since I don’t have a garage available. The ceramic coating makes putting on the cover by myself an Olympic sport.
