I think the H&R Supersports will be to low of a drop for the Weld RTS wheels I plan on adding. What's the ride height on those Alex?

My Sportlines are STOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID low. They call for the same part # for both the '05-'10 as for the '13 but this car is way lower on these springs than my '07 was. It's

Me too, I talked to the service manager last week when I dropped the grille off to be painted. He said they believe they got all the bugs worked out and that it should be approved so they could get the car back in to the rear end issues repaired.

Yeah the K-Springs look lower on the 5.0 then they did on my Bullitt, I like the stance though. Definitely improved over stock height, not sure on ride quality though

Just got word that the grille is done as well. Hopefully I will have it all together tonight for pics.

Any tips on separating the grill surround? Had trouble on my roommates

We used a butter knife haha, worked ok. You just have to muscle it off.

And for those who asked about how we mounted the grille mesh... Here ya go

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Took the car out yesterday...love the 80* temps.

What exactly did you use for the mesh? Looks factory. Heh

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I believe it's gutter guard. I had a bunch laying around our shop, just Plasti-dipped it black and molded to fit.

Nice, from what I've read online a lot of people use gutter material. Looks really nice. I may have to try that with my stock grill. I'm getting tire of the saleen. :/

My buddy noticed last night that my front bumper is actually darker from the rest of the car as well.... You can see it in the picture above. I wonder if ford will correct that as well.

Yeah it turned out great... A lot of people run the Saleen grille, so I went this route to give it a little different touch.

Yea, sadly when I got mine not a lot of people had them.

 

[ModTechRacing]

Yea that's one reason why I went with the boss grille.. more expensive but I like the look..

I have this grille aswell, as for the paint they probably won't fix it.. they will say it's urathane and the paint is is usually harder to match. thats what they said about my 04 oxford white mustang

Yeah I dont see them eating the paint issues as well. I'll have it fixed down the road.

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
