I'm getting a little anxious for summer to get here and bought a couple things. Not to get ahead of myself, but I had the local Ford dealership replace the hood on my car since it was rusting out and had already been "repaired" once by them. As a result I had to re-cut my shaker scoop, and my hood pins probably will not be re-installed. My hood struts were also re-installed, but no pics of that.

While I was installing the shaker again, I trimmed some of the cover so you can see the valve covers. I will be painting/powder coating those in the near future! :) No photos of the trimmed shaker yet.

Shaker install - again. :( Before and after:

First on the list are the Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs. I also bought an adjustable HPM panhard bar with rod ends for adjustment, and the Eibach camber adjustment bolts. I ended up removing the HPM panhard bar and leaving the stock one on. The panhard bar only needed to be adjusted 1-2mm so it wasn't worth it to have on.

I had to use the Eibach camber adjustment bolts to correct the front wheels. The drop caused really bad negative camber. Setting the bolts to full "positive" corrected this back to 0 degrees. Summit Racing had these the cheapest at $23 shipped.

I installed my Midwest Auto Gear painted mirror covers on the first "warm" day of the year. I didn't take any photos of these, but you can see them in a couple of the above photos.

I also installed Ford rear splash guards and cheap plastic front splash guards which I had to cut some off to fit correctly. There is nothing worse then just washing your car and hitting a tiny water puddle and spray dirty water over the side of your car.

Yeah, I had to use the camber bolts. There negative camber was pretty bad, camber bolts on full positive set it back to 0 degrees.
