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.

Thank you! And yeah I broke one of the clips on the first piece I popped off and then was good to go on everything else, just had to be slow/patient. I posted up a how to on the YouTube to show how to pop everything off.


And thank you, the garage was a massive pain in the rear to do lol, but I'm so glad I did it before we moved in, otherwise it probably would've never been done, case in point not having the trim finished being painted

I see in one of your pics that odd car that JustTheDipz did. Is that you or are you friends?

Not sure what you're talking about with "odd car"

But if you're referring to my single cab.. yes, Jason did the dip that pays homage to the 85 roush racing mustang, for the Screenshot_20211113-093138_Instagram.jpg download (3).jpeg

Gotta bolt the last few things in and get a new battery and then it'll be time to let the wife enjoy it for the week. Then intercooler and tune goes in. Carbon fiber emblems are being wrapped up as well. 20220207_164343.jpg 20220207_165241.jpg

I'm not gonna lie, I am extremely impressed with your level of effort for sure. I wouldn't go to those lengths on my own vehicle let alone my wife's. Then again, happy wife, happy life!

I appreciate it! And I'm super fortunate that my hobby is also my "job" and the wife is super supportive. This was basically purchased for me to do whatever I wanted to, to it, to help build our offerings and also give her something fun to mess around with until her defender is built.

When my battery goes bad I’m going to replace it with a Optima Yellow Top. my other two vehicles both have Optima Yellow Top batteries they are good quality batteries.

I must say I was skeptical of all the blue but I think it tied everything together nicely. Would love to see some close ups of the headlights and tails now that their installed. Great effort! love it!

All that's left for exterior stuff are the carbon fiber ovals and st badges, gotta get the front carbon trim piece polished, and the carbon fiber door inserts finished up. And the temporary wheels are on the way as well. The H&R springs should be shipping any day now as well as the AFE intake. Once that gets here carbon fiber/paint match for it as well. 20220209_170902.jpg 20220209_170922.jpg 20220209_170934.jpg 20220209_171030.jpg 20220209_171048.jpg 20220209_171135.jpg 20220209_171143.jpg 20220209_171231.jpg download (3).jpeg

Now that it's "back together" going to get some baseline testing done, and then whipple intercooler and tune next.

Nice … when you’re finished with the project could you post some pics at sunset with the lights turned on the vehicle?
