Makes sense, Do you see where LT'S and full exahust could potentially mess anything up on the motor side?

Warranties are for women.
You play hell getting warranty work done.
Put your extended warranty $$ into the bank for a rainy day.
Its a lot easier to access that way.
Forget the warranty voiding and have some modding fun.

Read peoples sigs. Most are running Brenspeed or AM tunes (BAMA is defunct but incorporated with AM).

IIRC if you have to bring the car in fro warranty work and you have a tune all you have to do is reload the stock tune and then unplug the battery for 20-30 minutes. When the techs ask why the battery was reset just tell em you had to clear the open gas cap message (I think that's the excuse to use).

First mod I would do is aftermarket LCA's since the stock ones are made out of jello and wheel hop like crazy

What they said about the warranty.

I have the 2nd link for the eleanor grille. Install was easy and look really good. Only issue I had was the relocation of the fog lights made me modify the metal support behind the grille because the fog light wiring would not fit. I would imagine the 1st grille would not have that problem since it's farther apart but I wanted the chrome trim around the fogs and outer edge.

How about the UCA? I replaced both on last one they made a difference. Luckily i talked to the shop manager at ford. He was cool he has a twin turbo GT. He said just put stock tune back in and leave alone. Even if CEL is on for no cats he will look around that if problems lies somewhere else....... As much as i like the lowered look... man this vs. last car C springs cut front half coil. I think i am going to leave stock height
