My Kona Blue GT Premium

[Pewter Lurch]

Bought my girl with 42k miles. All that was done was Magnaflow catback with Pypes x-pipe and Steeda Intake. Since then I have bought SCT tuner with custom tune by Kevin. Played with some plasti-dip ideas. Also ordered HID fogs(Waiting on the H10s to get here...ordered H11s was told differently):chair:, Big Worm taillight tint, had some muffler deletes made, and them some odds and ends light back up bulbs and license plate bulbs. Awaiting spoiler and wheels. Then suspension, boss/cs front and rear.

First pictures I when i got her

Ok thanks. Never mind then.

[GotExhaust.com]

Nice! Love that color

[Pewter Lurch]

Thanks guys. Love this car. My HID fogs came in yesterday. I finally sold my truck yesterday which means CAR PARTS! lol Picking up gt500 spoiler tonight, '10 gt500 wheels sunday, already on the list for a set of retrofit headlights to match with the 6k fogs. From there I am not sure if i want to go suspension or boss front and rear or boss intake and headers.

[Pewter Lurch]

I dipped the trunk panel and also my gas cap. I am picking up gt500 spoiler sunday that is already flat black and picking up some lime green window covers(going to dip them) What are yals thoughts on keeping them flat? I am wanting to wrap the hood, roof and trunk in flat black. Also picking up 2010 gt500 wheels that are gloss black that need to have a dent fixed. Trying to figure out if I should keep them flat black or some kind of grey or black chrome. Not sure. Help, thoughts, input would be appreciated.

[Pewter Lurch]

Retrofit headlights have been ordered. Should have them in about 3 weeks. New housings, Mini H1 projectors with HIDs, gloss black, blue demon eyes, g37 shrouds. Cant wait to get them in!

[Pewter Lurch]

Will be like these but gloss black and different shroud

Worst thing about dropping my car off at the dealer for about 3-5 days..? Having a garage full of parts to put on and not being able to!

Thanks man. Picked up my wheels, spoiler and window louvers yesterday. Also have my back up LEDs and plate LEDs waiting in my garage for me to get the car back. Headlights should be here in 2 weeks hopefully. Waiting on my cat deletes. Still need to datalog my tune. Ordered my boss front and rear also. Sucks having a garage full and nothing to do. :gunner:

Well it is confirmed. I am getting a brand new long block 5.0 from Ford. I will be getting the car back anytime wed-fri. On a side note, I ordered k springs, bmr lca with brackets and phb. Figured since I cant mess with the motor for while I would go ahead and play with the suspension.

[Pewter Lurch]

Few updated pictures of the retrofit progress. Should be done and sent out to me next week.

Headlights apart and being painted

Also still waiting for my suspension parts to arrive!(Damn Ford Racing and BMR)

[Pewter Lurch]

Ford K springs, BMR LCA, relocations, adj PHB all installed with Ground Control C/C plates. I love how she sits and hooks now! Will put up some pictures when i get a chance.

[DirtyD]

DId you ever get the retrofits in?

[Pewter Lurch]

Just waiting on them to get here. Had an issue with the demon eyes and the projector lens. Wont have the Demon eyes which is okay cause I didn't pay extra for them.

[Pewter Lurch]

Headlights are supposed to be here Friday from what I am seeing on ups

[Pewter Lurch]

[Pewter Lurch]

Well I FINALLY got my retrofits in. Took longer than expected due to my mind changing on some parts and some difficulty with the demon eyes. Here are some teasers of the cut offs. Need to get the car cleaned up before I take any pictures...okay maybe one tease of them installed....

[DirtyD]

They look great Grant. They are going to be awesome performance wise.

What projectors did you get?

Looks like he put the projectors in the wrong headlights. The tapered up cutoff on the left headlight I think is supposed to be on the right...

[Pewter Lurch]

They are both tapered. I will try to get some better pictures tonight. Btw all those pictures are take when on an incline in my driveway. They are MiniH1 morimoto projectors and hids. 4300k bulbs

[Pewter Lurch]

I didnt get to drive with them last night so tonight will be the test. I need to either delete my fogs or atleast put a cover on them to hide the chrome....wonder if I can retrofit them as well.....

[DirtyD]

I don't think the fogs are deep enough for projectors.

[Pewter Lurch]

Damn. Hmm ill have to keep thinking then.

[Pewter Lurch]

Will be picking up a cs front with fogs, boss splitter and retro black grille this sunday. Here are some shots with the retrofits in.

[Pewter Lurch]

Over the weekend I added the gt/cs front with fogs, boss 302 splitter and black billet grille. I think it ties the whole front together with my retrofits. Time to just on some wheels and headers! Also decided to pull the louvers off. May decide to go with some different ones or just black out the quarter windows.

How was the install of the splitter?

-Alex

[Pewter Lurch]

Fairly simple since everything was used. Danny and I did it in less than an hour that includes pulling all my old stuff off and putting the facia and splitter on and putting the grille and bumper back on the car.

[Barry McCockiner]

Looks good.

Splitter just screws in right?

-Alex

[Pewter Lurch]

Screws in but you do have to drill a few holes.

[Pewter Lurch]

What to do next...? LT headers? Rims? Wrap(hood, trunk, roof)? Seat delete with x-brace and dynomat, harness bar and harness?

[JDMLOL]

Lt's

[Pewter Lurch]

Not sure I want to crack into the new longblock with lts yet..

[Pewter Lurch]

Just picked up LT headers and OR x pipe. I do have a question. Currently have magnaflow comp catback with pypes after cat x pipe welded on(bought the car this way) trying to decide if I want to replace my catback or take the car to an exhaust shop and have it put back to the correct way. I personally think the headers will bolt straight to my x pipe but I have been told differently.

[Pewter Lurch]

Here are the JBA headers i just picked up along with the OR x pipe and Steeda X brace
