GBs Race Red 5.0

But see here's the deal.. its not that its not matched because it is.. what the problem is, you can see the black bumper underneath the paint. So its not completely painted. There are areas like by the headlights where its almost completely black.. if the bumper would have been completely painted there would be no problem.. you can see little black dots all over the front bumper

This is true... There are multiple areas where there is no paint.

Nice build thread! sub'd

Still waiting on the first set of warranty work to pass......In the mean time it looks like I may just pull the trigger on removing the resonators from the mid-pipes, and possibly adding a couple cheaper mods...

(1) Billet Aluminum Barton Shifter Bracket
(1) JHR Stainless Clutch Line

I've read a decent amount of reviews on both and so far they seem fairly mixed as far as a noticeable difference from the stock setup. If anyone has more insight on the two please feel free to leave an opinion. Me and my buddy have both been tossing these two mods around trying to settle on whether they are actually worth the wrench time.

Also, I'm thinking of adding a little twist with the rear spoiler. Everyone seems to be going with the GT500 or Roush, I'm gearing more towards the RTR Wing as shown below. I plan on keeping it Matte Black.

That's a great looking wing.

If I had a 5.0 it would be a toss up between the RTR one and the GT/CS one.

What differences will Stainless Clutch Line include compared to the stock one?

I like the wing. Nascar Nationwide style.

The JHR Stainless clutch line is high volume, more rigid, and maintains a more consistant pressure because it doesnt expanded while under heavy load. Meaning during "spirited" driving the clutch engagement is smoother and it won't hang up or stick in higher RPMs. Some guys have had issues with what I just mentioned and they claim it helps cure that issue.
I believe FRPP also offers a more rigid, high volume Boss clutch line as well at a higher price.

Yeah it does remind me of that as well.

RTR wing is sick!

Took the car out for another cruise tonight since the weather was sunny and 75*, can't beat that.

Snapped a couple quick pics with my buddy Brent's PW 5.0

I also picked up a tinted, black framed license plate cover while we were. The plain white plate wasn't looking right. This helped it blend in nicely.

Ended the night with a wipe down, coat of glaze, and a coat of BFWD....Goodnight!

 

[HEMI LOL]

I'll vouche for the Barton bracket. I had it on my 2011 with the stock shifter and it made a huge difference. It took all the mushy feeeling away and had a much more positive feel. It's a pain in the ass to install laying on your back with the car on jack stands so I recommend a lift if you have access to one.

You can't access it from the top? Similar to installing an aftermarket shifter?
