with all that exterior work done, you could either sell your car and put that money as a down payment for a 09 GT or save up money for a supercharger kit and really surprise some people lol.

But technically it is not my car. I'm 17 and I did put money into the car so that I was able to get it but the majority was payed by my parents so everything has to go through them. If I could trade it in and buy a GT ('09 or a 2010) outright with the money I have saved up right now, believe me I would, but with my income right now I don't think I can make monthly payments...

Soooooo, I was looking through my plans again and I found out something interesting. The V6 rear valence from Street Scene has an optional dual exhaust outlet. At first I was like, "Sweet, that's perfect," but then I looked at some pics of it. Is is just me, or does it look like there is a gap on the side between the valence and the bumper? Also, maybe I'm just overanalyzing, but it seems to me like it looks different than the GT version. Maybe it's less exagerated or something. I'm not sure but it just seems to look different.

Shella, maybe you can help me out on this one. Is there a gap between the bumper and the valence on the sides or is it just a little light trickery?

Here is the link to the Street Scene Products:

Check out both of the rear valences and look at the V6 one on the yellow Stang.

looks nice, but i dont think that there is a gap it's just the angle at which the pic was taken creating a shadow. You should consider this:

05-08 V6 H Pipe True Dual Exhaust and Bumper Valance Package

I has an H-pipe with GT take offs, and the valence goes over the back of the bumper like Street Scene's.

I do like that. I'm scared, however, that the different parts won't match up how they should. It's just that the C-Series Front Fascia and the Street Scene Parts have sharp, defined edges and that rear valence is smooth and rounded. I would consider it more if I could see the C-Series Front, Street Scene Skirts, and that rear valence together because I'm having a hard time envisioning it....

It's just scary trying to mix all these parts from different companies together. Also, the height is also an issue. Would it line up height wise...

So many questions...

Also, anybody know where I can get a custom logo made?

I'm getting a plenum cover and fuel rails (hopefully, pending on Cuzzo) custom airbrushed and I figured I could add a logo to it. But, I don't have a logo. Anybody know someone who's into some logo making?

Post #36 and #38. Still looking for opinions and ideas. Also, more opinions on the overall project would be appreciated.

Thanks,

HT

Bumpitty Bump on this one.

Today I actually looked into taking this money and going elsewhere with it. For a while I was leaning towards selling Stally and getting a 2005 350Z...

Reel me back in guys, the mind is straying!!!
