Yeah its got a nice little dent lol, and a few scrapes here and there but I don't mind for the price. Still rust free. You notice a difference after the install? And hows work man, you went back to work right?

Good man. A few more days then spring break. Kindof tough with the double major and all but its not all bad. The weekends are fun

Is the pickup new? You end up buying it instead of modding the six?

Yeah I bought the F150 b/c I wanted a truck. The Sixxer is going to get the Cobra brakes and then Ill lower it for now. I want to get a new front bumper/hood and get the car repainted the same color before I do any major hp upgrades.

Paint idea is same color, black roof and blackout between tail lights.

Looks like a nice list of upgrades. I like the look of your wheels.

I detail for a hobby and $25 is way to cheap. You can spend a lot of time on a car. Check out autogeek forum and detailcity. both great fourms with a lot of advice.

Okay so I celebrated my birthday with the family last night and I got both my high flow cats and my H pipe. Going to have it all installed and welded up to my current exhaust when I get a free weekend and come home from school. I also found a good deal on a SSM ported upper for $160 I'm thinking of scooping up. However I don't have a full time summer job lined up yet, so I really don't want to start spending money because I still have to buy mil's or a tune to shut of my rear O2s and O2 extenders. I was going to wait and do the windstar swap however it won't be for a little while and I figure the ssm intake really isn't going to depreciate much past the price I can get it for in a year. Not sure what I'm doing yet.

I don't think it is an option, I can do it with a custom tune. I might get one because then I can turn off the PATS system and do the 03-04 cobra cluster swap if/when I find one for the right price.

However for now, I just ordered the wiring harness from vmptuning for my fogs. I'm not a big fan of doing electrical stuff myself but I was told this was the simplest and best option so I sprung the $100 for it. I'm going to wire them independent I think so I don't have to have my headlights on for the fogs to come on. I like the look of the corner lamps and fogs only on. Hopefully the fogs help with our terrible stock lights.
