figured I would start a thread too keep track of the progress of the new car. finally got some half way decent stock photos. Have already put almost 500 miles on the car in 3 days. Absolutely LOVE this thing. I'm sure way down the road I will miss the Mach but right now I am 100% happy with my decision.

2013 BOSS LS wheels.

I think they are a bit more timid, yet aggressive than the Brembo wheels. I'm a sucker for straight spoke though. :D

Nice! I find myself in the wrong gear sometimes as well because the car is so quiet. I'm looking forward to getting some exhaust on this thing. I went for a drive in the Mach recently and really enjoyed listening to it. I wish I could make the 5.0 sound like the Mach!

We've got an o/r X with the Flowmaster American Thunder kit. Sounds badass. For the 5.0 I've decided on a Lethal H pipe and Gt500's. I'm going to try to get that deep rumble of the old 5.0's.

I like them. since these are a straight though muffler instead of a chambered one like my old flows it is a little more raspy but the cats help that. The drone is no worse than my mach was at certain RPMs. at city and highway speeds i don't have any drone.

Will try to get some better pics this next week. Yes I know the drift/rtr thing is kind of played out and lots of cars have them. But I think these look damn good and are 1000x better than the stock silver ones. These will do until I can afford some nice TF or similar wheels like you rich folk lol

and yes I know it needs springs BAD. I will be buying springs and a panhard bar this week as well as some matte black 5.0 badges

upper grille installed with the fogs still in place
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd34/03machme/SAM_1777.jpg

the lower grille is designed to be installed over the stock honeycomb grill but I didnt want the chance that you could still see it so I removed it and fabricated a bracket out of some aluminum I had laying around
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd34/03machme/SAM_1778.jpg

No front end! lol
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd34/03machme/SAM_1781.jpg

Decided to take the fogs out because they were too noticeable. Will prolly put them back in behind the grille once I get some tint for them

all finished!

now that it is lowered it handles better than the mach IMO. The ride is 10x more comfortable than the Mach was lowered. I'm sure down the road Ill miss the mach but right now I don't miss a single thing about it. I am loving this car more and more every time I drive it.

I don't think they will, Josh. IIRC, the Roush grill has the solid ends like the stock honeycomb grill does.

Thanks. In order I will be getting

1. adjustable shocks and struts, either Koni or Tokico
2. front and rear sway bars
3. 6 piston Brembo kit with larger 13 GT500 rear brakes
4. Recaros
5. Boss intake, O/R H, maybe LTs and a tune.

now this is all going to be a very long process esp with the baby on the way but that is the plan as of now

Didn't they need your approval to modify your image? Or did you give them a release?

I looked at theirs, but when I stumbled upon EPCO, their custom knobs blew me away. Only took a week to get it too.

Are those rotors any different than the standard rotors? Also, during your install, would you be able to do some side-by-side shots of those calipers compared to stock?

Got my first chance to Auto-x the Konis last weekend. Good stuff. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. :)

Combined with the Maximum Motorsport plates camber plates (maxed out on caster and 2.5 degrees camber, its definitely handling a lot better and feels a lot better. I was really struggling to stay in place, even with the Recaros. Might be harness time.

For now, I mostly need to work on the nut behind the wheel. SCCA in Crandall this Sunday. I'd like to give it a go on a concrete surface.

Oh yeah. Felt really weird painting the "yellows" black, but from certain angles they kind of stood out. Other than the rims and the faux filler, I'm ready to run moonshine.

The calipers didn't come out as I was wanting so thinking about painting them yellow to match...

That sucks. Yellow would be different. But it would be a good contrast with the struts behind the black wheels.

with the time off I got for my son being born I decided to get a good detail.

car was pretty dusty from the sawdust from the wood floors we had installed..

first was a bath with dish soap to get everything off. and off come the stripes.

Next was Clay bar, Used the Meguiars clay bar kit. (sorry no pics, its clay bar nothing exciting)

next all taped off so I dont get any of the product on the plastic or vinyl.

the product I used this time. I was out of the polish and all the autozones around me were sold out of the professional polish so I had to use the consumer level product.

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd34/03machme/_DSC0352_zps53a5f98c.jpg (http://s226.photobucket.com/user/03machme/media/_DSC0352_zps53a5f98c.jpg.html)
yes I know these are not the best products out there but they were what I had on hand and worked well for what I was trying to do.

It took me 3 days and my hands are killing me from the porter cable but I finally finished and it looks like glass!

Koni's, Brembos, and Whiteline bushing will be installed on sat so will update after that. Then goes back to bigworm on monday for the stripes to be put back on. Then Autocross in Crandall on teh 24th.
