Again this time from me...
Nice and Congrats!

LOVE the matte black stripe job!
I have never seen a stripe design like that.
Unique and very well done!

I like what you have done! Just remove the lower grill.

I debated a V8 this time but after being at the track next to 2 5.0's and making a pass - then one of the guys coming up and saying "I thought you'd be quicker, I can hear the blower" and then looking under the hood and counting off 6 spark plugs - he said "okay now I'm impressed, a 12 second V6 convertible" turned to the other guy and said "and we are getting our butts handed to us by a V6"

Decided to go with the V6 again then - and turbo this one to put it into the 11's.

Nice.

Thanks Tanner, if you get a chance and want to try a new sig feel free. Shannon (FATW) over at the Collective did up a new one for me though; he was just waiting to see the finished make over.

And I agree on the photoshop by Chris - my wife though says she prefers the black chin, but said "it's your car and if you like part of it painted go ahead". I keep hoping to get some time to see how the lower grill is mounted, or at least hit it with some plastidip for now. CDC has a new lower but hasn't committed to the tooling yet to produce it. If I can find someone with a 2013 GT/CS who is changing the grills I want to buy their lower (billet like mine but in black). I don't want to permanently paint the lower grill in case I want to go back to the stock front again because I do like the stock MCA look (it was why I bought it to begin with)

And as far as lowering - I don't think I will on this car. As it is, I found it tough to get the race jack under it to change to the drag wheels and tires on Friday and it did catch slightly on one piece when I used the frame rail to jack up the car - had to go with the pinch weld so the jack didn't have to go under as far. The front lip is pretty low too and I can see on some curb stops it would hit at the stock height.

LOL that is PRICELESS!

Made a little change to the front this afternoon. I decided to try out some plasti-dip because it will peel off and I still have the stock MCA grills. But the grey had to change. CDC has a new lower on the drawing boards, but is waiting to see how sales of the upper go before investing in the tooling to produce it; Roush also has a lower grill that will work but it isn't available yet. If I can find a GT/CS lower grill I would swap - it is the same grill, just in black.

But with the red and black theme going I needed to do something, so a temporary solution with the plasti-dip works for now.

Like the way the upper grille looks. Be thinking a lot about doing that with mine. Now that I've seen one on your car it's a definite that I'm going to buy that grille.

Looks good. Definitely changed the looks quite a bit. Very well done IMO.
