RS500 bumper and Wing (fiberglass). Car sits on Enkei 16 right now for setup. Road use will see Compomotive MO wheels (8x17) with Kumho or Michelin 235s. It will have custom fender liners to make these fit.

I have to get some dyno time to optimize the fuel and timing values via the EEC Tuner soon with kineticmotorsport.com's help.

It's almost finished!

Hey man, very nice Merkur! I'm getting one soon and i'd like to know pretty much anything you can tell me about this car as i don't have much experience with the 2.3 (i'm a Mustang guy...all 302's until this car). You look pretty experienced so if you wouldn't mind, what's a list of the top/first things i should do to the car? You can email me at bluecollarnoose@yahoo.com Thanks man!

Yo I'm gonna say this and I hope I don't offend anyone because I have looked at every XR4TI on cardomain but, Your car is by far the tightest Merk on the site. My car aspires to be like your one day....So fresh and so clean. Good job bruh
