Well, I finally decided to do a thread on my car. Won't be anywhere near as good as some if the past build threads.
So far I've done lighter wheels(RTR), and wider tires, still Pirelli all seasons though. RTR axleback, window tint, taillight tint, window louvers, Steeda black shorty antenna, and Ford OE unpainted hood vents.
Haven't updated in a while. I would have already had a few mods ordered, but between 2 mandatory driving classes that were 100 each, combined with about $340 from 2 tickets, college payments, and moving in a week, I just don't have much.
I've seen that on a lot of things. Ford mainly puts it to cover their a$$ on anything. So I'm more puzzled about why it wouldn't fit both transmissions, when other Driveshafts do.
I just ordered this one, and this particular shaft doesn't specify whether it fits an auto or manual so I'm assuming it fits both. However, other applications such as the V6 or earlier s197's do specify. Strange. I have a manual. Hopefully it fits lol
I think you are better off having them paint it. I just didn't get their best work on the first shot. Tape lines for the viewing windows were off and crooked. But they have another set in the works for me. Should go out this week. The wait time sucks too. But since your red, they prob keep your color in stock. Mine is a one year color so it took about 3.5 weeks for the first set, and I'm about 3 weeks into the second set.
I wouldn't. You can order the primer and glue for under 40 bucks. If your paying someone to do it, you don't need the tool to remove the glass. They do. Lol. I just purchased the stuff from an auto body supply place online. Same part numbers. It was WAY cheaper. I already have a window removal tool same as they use. I'm doing the install myself.
Me too! Lol. Mine are shipped so I should have them soon. FYI, if you were going to get a set, he painted 2 sets to send me a different pair (he always paints them 2 sets at a time) so he has a Oxford set sitting there. Just sayin. I know you just blew your load on that shaft though ?
Alright, been putting it off way too long. Will order tonight.
1 question about the louvers. Should I order them painted already, or unpainted, since the entire car will be repainted soon. I've just been so busy with college summer classes, church, and unpacking around the house that I haven't had time, or have just forgotten to order them. I'll take a screenshot of the confirmation.
I'd get them from shr. they are not easy to mask and paint. Plus they are lexan and require the proper prep and adhesion promoter ect. I wouldn't trust someone who has never painted them before to do the job. You wouldn't want to install them and then have the paint chip off later due to poor prep or wrong materials. My .02
Anyone taken their hood insulation off? It seems pointless to me that it's there. Only thing I'm worried about is how the engine bay would fare in a heavy thunderstorm without it, since I'm assuming more water would be let in as a result of not having it on. I doubt heat would affect the paint from having it off.
