Looks great. Whats a Ford racing deck lid?

What's up brother. The Ford Racing Decklid is the solid black panel between the taillights.

It's an OEM decklid that wasn't drilled out for the rear emblems. Cleans up the look of the rear a little.

That looks fantastic mate! Loving the blacl/white theme and the Racemesh Grills. Are they the gothic style? Any close ups?


Yup, Gothic style. Truth be told, fuck Racemesh Grilles. That guy is a fucking asshole, and a snake.

Offered to give me $100 off the grilles for some nice hi res shots when I installed them. I agreed, and paid full price with the idea that he'd refund me after the grilles were made and installed and pictures were taken.

We arranged for me to pick them up at this house, to save on shipping. When I went to pick them up, he backed out on the deal to refund me $100 for pics.

Said anything to make the sale, but backed out when I picked them up.

So with that said, here are some up close shots on my Rapemesh Grilles:

PS, I now make these same grilles, with the same "Gothic" mesh, for a fraction of the cost!

^^ Nice to see an unbiased opinion on Racemesh Grilles. I was a litter weary when I took a look at their website a couple weeks ago. Looks like something out of the 90's lol.

Are you serious about offering your own set for sale? Wouldn't mind sending some money your way buddy!

Of course. Had a buddy drop off his today for me to do. My prototype is already out there on my friend's car.

Came out amazing!

I'm using a different mesh this time around for my other friend. Think of the Hoonicorn grill!

Happy you made it happen brother! Those BC Coilovers tho!!!

Thank you! The BC's are awesome! I love everything about them and install was pretty quick because of them being pre-assembled. Wish I would have known you made the grilles though, just got the Lethal version on mine.

Thanks for the close ups. Looks great. Bet it really improves the air flow to the intake and the lower grill opening. Notice any difference in temp or power?

Count me in for a set! Send me a PM with the price and i'll paypal your way if you don't mind making a set for me. Was going to go Racemesh but after your experience and the fact you're making them yourself I can't pass that up.

I got a new camera in hopes of actually trying out this photography thing everyone else seems to be good at.

Bought a Sony A6000 which came with the standard kit lens, and I bought a Sony 55mm-110mm Telephoto.

Here are a few pics with the new Telephoto lens and touched up in Lightroom:

Self taught, so be easy on me!

Testing to see if I like the Euro Tails:
