Everything looks good man! First time I've seen pics of your car I think. You did a good job with installing those fogs cleanly

The fog lights look great. We need the specifics. This is a mod I would like to make.

Thanks for the feedback.
Fog lamps are Pilot PL-360C
2-aluminum blocks 1"X2"X1 3/8"
2-2"x4"X1/8th flat stock aluminum
Drill tap fog lamp brackets to block-I used 10/32 stainless button head screws
Drill and tap flat stock to block form a tee-I used 10/32 flat head stainless screws
drill 2-1/4 holes in flat stock for mounting to inner bumper
position to your looks best spot and mount. I did use a 90 degree drill to mount to bumper.
Wire to fog lamp on core support and enjoy. I cut off the plug end and picked up some simple
two-way connectors from Napa. Be sure to test for +/- with testlite. Soldered and shrink wrapped length of 16gauge wire as needed and covered with the 1/4" split conduit covering like you see everywhere under the hood, wire tie as needed.
The hood I replaced with RK Sport California Dream Ram Air, which are functional. Fit was pretty good a 9 out of 10. Finish was a 10, very well done by RK Sport. In hindsite I would not mount the washer squirters, fill holes and paint and get a squirter delete kit.

Would look better without them and that hood, but if you have to have foglights, its probably the best way to have them. I was thinking maybe in the grill but tha tmight be too busy.

Man that looks killer!!! Exactly how I envision doing my own someday when I can get around to it. One question - are you using the factory wiring up under there that is connected to the dead pull-on fog light switch?

That is a big afirmative on the fog lamp switch. Complete plug and play. Pull your headlamp knob and you have fog lamps.

Hows the watts link

I highly recomend the Watts Link, but this is based solely on my seat of the pants meter. I also did the BMR Billet LCA's, and the BMR adjustable upper. The link is based on a sweeping long run, onramp we have here. I can accelerate hard going thru the turn and there is truly a big difference in the handling, it holds better than before. I was amazed in the ride. I did not notice any change in comfort. I thought it would be a little stiff, rougher ride, I am impressed. Is it worth $1000? YES. My next move is the driveshaft. I have one on the way.

This is the BEST meter ever devised for approval/disapproval of mods:)

Nice. I'm surprised you didn't get a stiffer ride with the LCA's. When I put mine on the ride got a little bit more stiff but in a good way I guess. But then again I'm not too worried about comfort as that's not really what this car is made for lol

I was surprised too in the ride quality. My wife's first ride comment, before any mods, was "What the hell were you thinking" a 4 mile wash board was her first experiencewith the stock Saleen suspension. After the mod she did'nt notice any difference either. Still %#@* according to her.
The only thing that could have made a difference was, I completely went through the trunk area and the interior with B-Quiet Ultimate sound proofing.

^ good thing she has never take a ride in MY car [&:]
Not that the suspension is rough, but you can feel every single minute, microscopic, miniscule, tiny, itsy-bitsy bump in the road. Did I say it wasn't rough :eek:
Jjjjjjjjjazzzrrrrr

I have the same BMR rear suspension upgrades, only I went with the tubular LCA's with poly/spherical combo, and was amazed at the ride quality. I guess I would describe it as being "firmer," meaning that I could feel the car grip the road better as opposed to it being "stiffer." Good thing you got that adjustable UCA. It will make a huge difference once you install that DS.

Absolutely 797. I originally thought the LCA's would make the biggest difference, but being that I had them installed a couple weeks before my UCA I was wrong. That UCA makes just as much, if not more, of a difference than the LCA's. I now feel my car is "whole" now after installing that UCA and bracket.

The UCA's are one of my next mods once I blow my money on a DD for college
