The wedding or the car?

One will be cheaper than the other, I can promise you that...and one doesn't take half your shit when you upgrade either!

Lol! I think I missed that one lmao.

Finished up the grille project today! Also was able to throw on the powder coated Brembos as well. I have the rears ready to go on, but they are not on in the pictures. Definitely going to get some better pics sometime this week when the weather clears up.

Overall, the grille project with @knightvision was a huge success. It wasn't overly difficult to do, and turned out killer. I drove her today for the first time in months and felt great! A lot of head turning too, lol!

We used zip ties to hold the mesh in place on the OEM grille while we use Goop All-Purpose to adhere it.

We waited 24 hours for the Goop to dry and cure. Once we snipped the zip ties off, the mesh was stuck rock solid to the OEM grille. The Goop really did it's job here.


Installed the new grille onto the bumper.


The final product.

Needs an intercooler to make that front end be perfect!!!

There's not much else left for him to do!

Except trade it on a mini van once the date happens...

Maybe he and Cam can shop for them together....

 

[KnightVision]

Love it all, except those stick-on side scoops ..

I thought the exact same thing... but after looking at them in person they really do compliment the car... Not my type of thing but... its Grabber5.sl0w's car... lol

Nah, before he buys a van, he needs to buy the other Msutang he ordered...

Ouch...still there, eh?

 

[GallopingFord]

Haha yeah. I just dropped it off at our local Costco for a showcase display for the next month. Hopefully attracts attention.

That new grille is sweet.

I agree, along with two turbos .

No. No. No Mini van for me! The Jeep is good enough for now, until I roll in stacks and move up to the SRT8 GC. Probably won't get that lucky though lol.

Whaaat? Why is it still there? That's awful to hear it going to have little bastard finger prints all over it, and ass crack on the seats... Guess it could be worse. Could be on display at Wal-Mart...

Installed my Gloss Black Roush Rear Spoiler last night from Hypermotive. Also installed my powder coated rear MGP Caliper Covers, thanks to Alex@AmericanMuscle for hooking me up!

At first I wasn't so sure if I had made the right decision on the Roush spoiler, but now I'm so glad I went that route. It flows with the car so well, and the black makes the rear even more aggressive with the RTR rear diffuser.

 

[bujeezus]

Like the spoiler, the caliper cover, not so much.

^^ What about now?

 

[Greg Hazlett]

I would have done black but hey, it's your car, if you like it that's all that matters!

Haha, no worries man! I really dig the orange look.

By far, my favorite S550. Well done, sir.

 

[GallopingFord]

I'm not a scoop guy, but the body color looks much better.

Thanks man! Same here. I was hesitant at first at picking a spoiler, but I'm definitely glad I went with the Roush.
