Ummm...the term "rice" applies to modifications in poor taste (based on opinion)...
and yeah buddy, but I hate to say it, they were "ricing up" American muscle cars way before any import cars were prevalent on the streets of the US and A.

I can understand not wanting to do it because there's a lot involved to make it look good and right, but I find it hard to believe that you don't think it looks good.

Believe it... Hate It! I have seen some done the right way, like on the IG there is a SVT Cobra Super Snake1000 (black) and it looks good...FOR HIM as a owner. Plus its done by: Shelby of America as a converted mod package. I will try to remember to tag you when I see it. I would never do it. Its nice for pics and car shows and I aint bout that life. I would go retard and tub in the rear end with shorter axles and wider drag set and slicks before I did the fender thing.

The widebody thing looks good when done right. Once you commit to it, there is no turned back. You need to get wider wheels with perfect offset and air suspension to pull off the look. Since Josh's car is always broken down, he won't ever get a chance to show it off.

off topic, I was asked what are good coil over damper kit for a Honda Civic owner at Ford. I recommended Hell Toe full damper set up as I had on the TL. Being she was already online, she immediately searched and we did not find HT full damper kit but only the website marketing TEIN kits. Did HT stop production?

Now when talking "Do you like them?" The Race version YES! for its purpose and the one on the top, Yes. Because its subtle wide body where you can barely tell it was widened at all. But taking the flares from the Race applying that style to the top?...HELL NO! IG is full of that flare rice!

Keep it stock. Its a muscle car, leave the wide body kits to the imports. Obviously in the end it is your car to do what ever your heart desires. I personally would throw a meaty tire out back and tune the suspension for the weight transfer and give'r. I had big plans with my '87 LX, 408 stroker, but then my job decided to close on me and had to sell it off. Still kicking myself for getting rid of a 351W bare block....

I like what you have done with this so far!

If I could find an unbeaten 03-04 Cobra I would snatch it up. Such a great platform to build on! The only snag I have with that body style, the seats don't go back to a comfortable distance for my lanky self...

nah, just nothing new to update here sad to say. Problem after problem and not much time for me or buddy to finish her up. He is going to try to finish up the minor set backs as I am leaving the country Sat. to DR Dominican Republic Pulled the Turbos and went BIGGER exhaust housings since the smaller housing who were originally on the turbos show extreme restriction when hitting approx 800hp testing. So stepped up to bigger exhaust housing .81. The new housings are getting heat coated as we speak. Before that, I had a ID100 injector ping and show signs it may be going bad. Taking no chance, ordered a new one from Injector Dynamics. That was approx 2 week issue. So...yeah. I am still here kicking cans. lol

I have a buddy on my side making sure of it. On a another note, just returned from Dominican Republic with the family. AMAZING time! Definitely different living standards but amazing ppl and place! Loved it! Now...back to the grind!

Awesome, man...
pics!
I can't stomach any more zoomed in engine pics or of it taken apart.

I want either:
pics of family and where you stayed in DR
or your mustang doing a wheelie down the strip.

lol my phone took a crap in DR. The SAMSUNG GS6 Active is supposed to be water resistant. Eh, not so much under my own R&D But hopefully all the pics can be saved since it seems to be only a LCD damage and the phone continued to sound off in life. Sending it to Samsung today. On the other hand, the Cannon T6i showed up like a champ. After lots of downloading and small editing and I will post some pics. Not all 250+ lol #SnapHappy

Go straight to 'P' (Program) mode...it lets you input some settings with some serious guidance. That's a good transition to using shutter or aperture priority down the line, which you will need to accomplish things like low light without flash etc.

I found a site called Creative Live.com. They have an entire class on the T6i. I purchased it to be more like Jeremy.

to bad I have only driven the car work and back for 2 days with no consistent dry roads either. Even before Hurricane Hermine hit, we were experiencing scattered showers leaving one way or another wet roads. The pic I psoted was 1 of those 2 days I drove to work. That was the last day I drove it since the weather was rolling in slowly. Finally, I just parked it 2 days ago. It sure feels good again being behind the wheel. Traffic is a PITA with this new HD clutch. Lots of new seat time needed.
