I looked at your website (I think it's yours that you're putting in these pics). This is what you do for a living I take it? Could you take my stock headlights and fog lights and make the chrome black and the Explorer in the headlights paint matched (Rapid Red) to my ST? What kind of turnaround time to do that, if your answer is yes?

Pulled out the explorer to get the Shelby inside for a quick light job.

seeing it out in the natural light makes me stoked to see how its going to look once I'm done with the carbon fiber pieces!

hoping everything is cured this week 20220201_110142.jpg 20220201_104246.jpg

Thank you! And right now leaning heavy towards the variant dck-3p, but sith a slightly different face and hardware finish. Same carbon barrel though.

Gotta get a few other things sorted first FB_IMG_1643769174104.jpg

How did you remove the rear reflectors? Are they bolted in or do they snap on/off?

Are you referring to the ones in the bumper?

They're clipped in. I popped them out when I did the paint match. 1640616706794.jpg

I had the bumper off, it was much easier, if you can reach up and push fr behind, makes it alot easier

I'm normally not a big fan of aftermarket pieces but I do love the monochromatic look. That ST looks amazing nice work. I love it when someone else has OCD worse then I do.

I took one peice of that black trim off and broke 4 of the white clips because it was too cold out, found out the clips cannot be ordered separately they come as part of the trim piece. I even reached out to friend at CAP and was told the same thing so anyone that's going to remove the black trim be very careful and make sure it's warm out.

I have to say Im extremely jealous of your garage especially love the floor, perks of having a new house I guess.

Can't wait to see the final product.
