Midniteblue's Grabber 5.sl0w Build Thread

Awesome pics and build so far.

^^thanks!

I'm sure once you get the re-flash you'll definitely feel the difference. I've been meaning to have a e85 tune built from JPC but I don't even have time to drive my car so it's pointless.

Yeah, we'll see what happens once I upload the new tune. Right now, I'm having a friend of mine fill in those holes that the dealership screwed into the front bumper.

Screwed into the bumper.... The front license plate pilot holes?

I guess Carmax and all their wisdom decided that the provided holes weren't good enough, so they screwed two new holes into the bumper for the front plate.

Only the finest mechanics work there....

Picking up the bumper this evening and just ordered a set of '13 tail lights from eBay for $590 shipped. Really anxious to see if the gap will bother me or not.

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

Here's the latest pics with the '13 tails and bumper holes filled in. The gap really isn't that bad IMO.

Is that the RTR deck lid panel?

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

^^Yeah man. It had an RTR vinyl on the bottom right of it that I just heated up and peeled off.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Looks good...I like the way it all flows together with 13-14 lights.

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

^^Thanks man, that was the whole objective.

Got 5% tint installed today along with my girlfriend's new 2014 Fusion. Not sure if I made a mistake of it being too dark yet lol.

I just read the entire thread, your Grabber Blue 5.0 looks really really good! Very tastefully modded

 

[07TGGT]

Looks great!

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

Thanks guys! She's sitting in the garage now. First winter I haven't had to daily her, and it feels great and sucks at the same time lol. Was really hoping to make the Ocean City Cruise again this year but ended up getting assigned to do a bogus fake deployment that weekend.

 

[BleedinBlue]

Hell yeah...the tails look great.

Yeah, I've looked at them but I'm not really a fan. Throws the whole rearend off IMO.

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

Some pictures I took today, barely driven but 100 miles this winter. Can't wait for Spring!

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

Installed some BMR relocation brackets and LCA's over the weekend. They feel GREAT! haven't had a chance to try from a dig but cornering feels a lot tighter in the rear end.

Was feeling a change so I picked up a set of NIB Forgestar F14 Matte Black Deep concave 20x9.5 and 20x11 wheels for a steal. Now it's time to decide on a set of tires.

 

[Grabber5.sl0w]

F14's and Nittos are here! Going to get them mounted and balanced on Friday.
