Here it is:

I pulled the headlights and had the buckets painted.
I had a roush hood scoop and a set of roush louvers painted.
also to get painted was the stock rockers
and last a SS rear lip. I had the driver side cut out. know I am just waiting for a Stock GT CAT back exhaust. I have been seeing them on ebay for around $150 with shipping

the headlights look sweet in the sunlight!!!!!!

also just got the plenum cover

That looks great! How were the sequential tail lights to install?

here is where I got them from. there is a install doc page for you to look over

I put them in myself, they took about 1/2 hour. Really easy to follow instructions

the main reason I bought this setup over all the others was the fact that this one has a chase setting and the normal sequential setting. I have mine set to chase. check out the videos!!

let me know if you need any more help

Scheetz83...

THAT looks AWESOME man!... Great JOB!

Did you do the headlight pull yourself, or did the shop do it. There is a LOT of conversation on here about what the process is of getting the Headlight assmebly appart and back together again.

I got the Metric Chasers too... they constantly get comments. It is fun to watch in the Rearview of the people behind me talking when I turn on my blinkers or hit my brakes.

Also - the brake lighs are HELLA BRIGHT with all three sections light up. It almost blinds people - - I see people at night looking away at a stop light to shield their eyes.

I totally screwed up. I was going to take pics of the whole process for the headlights.... then i forgot

But here is a quick sunopis

1) to pull the headlight you need to pull the whole front bumper cover off

a) 3 screw in the lower front of each wheel well

b) you should be able to pop the lower splash guard out from behind the lip on the bumper

b) pull the splash guard toward the tire so you can reach behind (it helps to position the wheels ether far left or right depending on side) and you will see 2 nuts that need to be removed

c) last the 2 bolts on the top of the grille posts

d) disconnect the side marker lights and pull the cover off

2) pull the 3 bolts holding the headlight on and disconnect the bulb

3) now the tricky part. I used a regular heat gun to heat the out side edge up. there are 4 clips that are around their out side edge of the lexan, i just snapped them off.(i got tired of fighting with them)

4) with the aid of the heat gun i slowly heated the edge up then i used a small screw driver to apply pressure and try to pop it off. once the small screwdriver did all it could i progressed to a lager one, I went through 4 sizes before i sucssesfuly got it off.

Note:: this will chew the edge of the lights up But is what i did once the where back together i took a soldering iron and melted the edge all the why around the lexan and housing. not a factory look but it look pretty good

5)once you get the lexan off you will be probably as shocked as i was to find out that the inner bucket, the part with the louvers comes out. Look at the seal channel there are 4 areas in which the bucket is glued in I got a really small screw driver and it poped out no problem

6) paint

7) clean the seal channel really good i used a screw driver also it may help to heat it up but be careful, if you heat it up to much your screw driver my poke a hole through it

8) to seal them back up go out and buy about 5-6 bar claps. I went cheap. figure out how you are going to clamp it back together and even do it a few times prior to gluing. YOU DONT WANT TO SCREW THIS UP AND HAVE FOG LIGHTS. AND NOT THE GT KIND

8) I used a BLACK RTV ADHESIVE sealant. Sqeez the glue in to the channel (2 people need) dont fill it all the way up about 3/4 then take a screw driver and run it through the channel spreading it from side to side so both walls have glue on them then add glue where you think it need it.

9) take you freshly painted part and put back in add glue to 4 the tabs.

10) put the lexan back on CLAMP, but dont crack it let set for 24hrs and reassemble

also make sure you clean the headlights inside and the inside of the lexan prior ot reassemble

hope this helps Street seanse has a PDF on there web site for installing there front fasceia it has a back down on pulling the bumper also

if you guys need any more help let me know

well i need to go back to work now befor i get found out
later all

I really like the engine cover you have. The guy on ebay selling those has some really cool air brushed ones, but only for the V8 right now. I emailed them and they said they are working on the 4.0's.

here is the plenum cover info

I bought it off ebay. this is basically one of the prototypes. The winner
of the auction would receive the silver fiberglass one and then once the
injection molded production covers are ready they will send one of those
out. I opted to pay an extra $50 to have this next one painted the same
color of the car so it should look pretty sweet

http://www.midwestautogear.com/05_V6_Cover.htm
I got a phone call form them yesterday telling me that it should get sent
out next week. You should be able to buy one off the web site in the next
2-3 weeks

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8007955833&ssP
ageName=ADME:B:BCB:MT:11
check out the view sellers other auctions link on the right
those are just the v8 one but it this a really cool idea!!

I have a little practice with a air brush so i may try my hand at painting one up any ideas?

I did get mine off ebay

this is one of the fiberglass prototype covers. By winning the auction i am also going to get one of the poduction "injection molded" cover. I spent a little extra to get the production cover painted to match the car. I should get the production cover this next week or so.

You should be able to buy them in the next few weeks! I will post the paint matched cover pics as soon as i get it and install it, it may take a little while for me to install it due to the fact I broke my foot last friday!

Sorry to hear about your foot bro :( Well, I do feel a little better knowing it's one of the eBay ones, but damn, I don't think those guys at Midwest care squat about future customers or support? Cool, can't wait for the pics

Ok, Im really getting jealous!! It looks cool. I love the painted bevels, bezels or whatever you call them. It's really sad that I'm 52 yrs old and just now learning about cars and what fun I can have with classing them up. I just need to talk my wife into letting me do some of the things you guys are doing. She just thinks I'm going thru a phase and it will wear off. But I'm looking forward to getting a little extra money and start modding my car.
