Nice, Josh. Any performance perks to it? Maybe fights the heat better? Or just for looks. Real CF is pricey!

You won't mind if I drive by you and whistle and say "hey baby, lemme see what you got under the hood" while winking...right?

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

Probably not... But it does pull the engine bay together in appearance though. Just a nice touch with a Performance look.

Whatever floats your boat. But is Steve B. just happens to be with you, that may raise questions on your motive.

His car is amazing, even if he doesn't win the drag race, that thing is a domestic super car in looks at least.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

U talking about Steve B.? Doesn't he have a Vette? Older model right?

another update: Just bought this! + the 2 post bracket (not in pic)

No more missing 3rd gear and more accurate snappy shifting improving on the sloppy MT-82 trans. and weak shifter FORD installed in the Mustang GT. This piece gets rave reviews from both STREET and TRACK usage. Very very popular and approved! Can't wait! It will be here Friday. And we all know, it may be installed Friday...lol!

Next on the list in months to come is:

* SHAFT MASTER's 1pc aluminum light weight drive shaft (18lbs vs 32+ and 1pc vs 2 pc weak and breaks OEM)

* McLeod TWIN DISK RST Clutch (800+hp capacity.)

...and that is all really, I am really coming down to the end of the road for a full bolt-on build and all around balance STREET/RACE approved car. After this would be nothing else but real "Get Down" ... Maybe even a BLOWER!

You mean SteveN!

Well if you call a car taken delivery on October 15, 2014 (a 2014 C7 Stingray) old, so be it.........

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

My bad, thought you had a older stingray (late 60s). Nice pick up brother. Very nice! Those LS motors are something else to. All the money I have into my Coyote doesn't add up to what you can throw at a LS. For example, LS all u need exhaust, cams and CAI and that bish is nasty! They respond like Monsters to mods.

No no no...Steven IS an old 60's Stingray, but he drives a beautiful NEW machine!

Fantastic final bolt ons, man...that shifter would be my first mod if I ever get one.

The BARTON Ind. shifter arrives tomorrow. We all know where I will be doing this weekend NEXT: Will be SHAFT MASTERS or DynoTech's light weight 1 pc aluminum drive shaft. Although $100+ more expensive, I may go with the DynoTech since it seems to be widely used by NHRA, IHRA NAASCAR and other major race labels. That is pretty impressive to have that line up under your belt backing your product. Plus 18lbs drive shaft vs Shaft Masters (approx) 25lbs ~ STOCK IS 35LBS.

Yep...sounds like it's gonna be a real dream to bang on.

Things have been slow here on this end since I was on vacation from May 5-9th with 3 Birthdays (Mine 4th, Son 7th and Daughter 8th...Lets not forget Mother's Day ) and we all went to Disney. It was GREAT! Off time much needed! Now back to the grind & reality. As for the Mustang, just made one of my last Big Ticket purchases before calling it quits or running out of performance mods available to purchase... SHAFT MASTERS 1pc Light Weight Aluminum Drive Shaft. I hear nothing but Rave Reviews regarding this item...CAN'T WAIT! Hopefully received and installed on time for STREET WARZ!

Looks like it was well executed!

I'm not a fan of the red accents anymore, but it's only because I've been there already.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

True. I decided on the color since it already exist stock here and there with the black mudered theme including the wheel logo on the center caps from Race Star and "Brembo" on the brakes. So, Ima run with it. I will eventually redo the calipers RED vs the gawd awful ashtray dry finish Ford gave em. U have to see in person to get what I am saying.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I have seen them in person on my buddy's 2013. It's like a crinkle finish...I'd leave it alone though, I think they did it rough like that on purpose to withstand the heat and probably so the clear coat doesn't flake off in 2 years.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

I would refer to the finish more as a sand paper finish. Maybe a high grit like 200 or so to best describe it finished in flat grey (ash). But its completely fine to sand, prep and coat them or powder coat them. The fellas have done it alredy with outstanding results just like they cam from BREMBO or Ford themselves. Its sorta like what Ford did to the rear ends allowing it to flash rust. The rust itself acts as a coating. I personally pasted a scotch pad over it and painted black. Its been a few months since, still awesome finish all black vs that awful "RUST" finish.
