Update on Dillon's 3.7 build! Picture heavy!
Been a very VERY long time since I've pic whored 
And I miss being around this forum a lot so I'm gonna try my best to be more active! I've been extremely active on Instagram (in my bio). Honestly if you have social media, you've seen my car! It's getting very well known for the looks and I wanna get it known for power now.
Well, the 3.7 has progressed a bit since the last time I posted. Not exactly sure what all I've done since haha it's been a bit, but here's some of the recent stuff. 4.10 gears (GIGGITY
), Blow By Racing Lower Control Arms, 1 piece Aluminum Driveshaft, MPT 93 Race Tune (also ghost cam tune for shows). Not exactly sure what appearance mods are different but just recently, after having NOTHING left to do to the car, I got front smoked side markers and rear marker overlay tint. I have no idea why that wasn't my first ever mod but wow. It's the little things ;p
I also ran at the track for the first time. Ran a 13.8 @ 102 vs a stock 5.0 that ran 13.3 @ 103. Yes, there was something wrong with the track haha both of our cars are capable of 12's. They even said on the loud speaker that the track was awful and it was the last day of the season it would be open after a brand new Dodge Viper and another expensive car wrecked within minutes of each other. So in March when it reopens I hope to get my 12.99 at least!
As for what's next. I'm a bit of a unique freak. So I'm going to toy around with plastidipping the wheels to match my calipers (grabber blue). It won't be for everyone, but I'm gonna try to pull it off and still have a clean car. Regardless, I can just peel it off, no harm done. Also have been offered a sponsorship for a full vinyl wrap of the car. So that will be happening within a few months. I have NO idea what color I want to do and have been toying with photoshop a bit. Can't decide at all but I want it to stand out and be different. Performance wise, I'm gonna see if I can get me a custom H pipe done up. I'm not a big fan of how off-road sounds on the 3.7 and my current setup is very deep and rumbly so I wanna keep that. Not trying to sound like a lawnmower that's for sure. Then after that I wanna do shorty headers and be done with the little stuff! Anyways. Enough talking, here's the pony.

That's a mean looking stang.
Can't say I support you on plastidipping the wheels blue; I feel it would take away from the calipers (they pop quite nicely as it is), and I don't feel it works with the bold black accents you've currently got going on. But you'll never truly know until you try. Maaaybe you'll even convert me!

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
Spartan, thanks and I can definitely agree. The calipers pop like crazy and I didn't think they would look as good as they did either. But it's one of those things I just wanna try. I'm gonna be more picky about it than anyone else since it's my own ride so if I don't like it, it's coming off! ;p But to kind of compliment them, I thought to go ahead and do the badges at the same time so they're not the ONLY thing blue. We'll see though, and I'll definitely upload pictures once it's done. It will be different and not for everyone so I'm prepared for that haha

Damn! That looks sick!
How're the Roush Axlebacks? Considering getting them in the Spring, but youtube vids (I know, not the best way to judge) sound a little too "poppy" and droney.
