Just so you know, it might be easier for you to go without the spoiler delete if you want a GT500 spoiler...see, they use the same holes, and you can sell your regular GT pedestal wing, so then you'll be up a few bucks (the spoiler delete doesn't discount the price at all: it cost the same as with the spoiler)

otherwise, CONGRATS!
I'd read that they use 2 of the holes, but leave 2 empty (at least the ones people are getting from the ebay spoiler store). I was just thinking I'd rather not have the 2 extra holes in the lid that I'd have to worry about corrosion with. Good thought on selling the stock spoiler though... damn, now I'm having second thoughts! [:@]

What's ambient lighting?
Ambient lighting is a new option for 08 which adds footwell lighting front and rear as well as the cupholder which you can select the color (kinda like the iUP but with only like 8 choices). It's a little childish I think but could be cool... w/ x-plan its only ~$250 and I figure if I hate it I can just turn it off or set it to white (I hope!)

Congrats!!! I've seen the ambient lighting on a focus, and I think it looks cool.

great choice on the supercharger
Hehe, you too! I'd always wanted to supercharge my truck but it's WAY easier said than done... I figure this way I'll have the cash from the sale of my truck and it's a done deal... I plan on taking a long weekend ans installing it myself.

Well that's promising... I can't wait to see some actual pics of it in peoples cars instead of the one or two marketing pics I've seen floating around.

you could do it in a long weekend, if that's the goal....

i took 8 days (working a couple hours a night after work)
and had fun with the install (for the most part )

see ya at the boost lounge!

Wow, 8 days? I really hope thats because you were REALLY taking your time and only working on it a little each day... the stang is going to be my daily driver and my wife would be pissed if mine was out of commision for more than a week and I needed to take her SUV to work leaving her stranded at home. I work a 9/80 schedule which means I get every other friday off. So I'm hoping to do the install on one of my 3 day weekends. That's reasonable right?

I have a few daycare parents that work at Auto Alliance ( where they build the pony's )
and they wereshut downlast week because theywere out ofengines. The factory where
they getthe engines washaving trouble with the crankshafts. They are back to work now.
Don't know how much that is going to hold up production.

But i really wish the center stack changed as well, Still Green i guess
