pitpup Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 GeezOhMan! Haven't made the third payment and I decided to pull the trigger on my Steeda Q_Wannabe! I got the car back from the shop on Friday. The hood and splitter were done. I installed the Midwest Auto Gear mirrors and Steeda Sidewinder stripes on Sunday. Stripes were a two hour job (by myself). I'm totally diggin' the new look. No regrets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordEvangelist Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Dude! That's a great looking paint scheme! lol, I haven't made ONE payment yet and I've pretty much completely changed the suspension :bandance: That's what they're for. Your car looks super.

flashfearless Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Awesome Stan. Good pics. I think that the black goes great with GO. Which is why I love the 'vert I guess! I haven't had the inspiration yet what I will do to the outside of mine. Hopefully it will turn out 1/2 as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90GT Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Very nice!!!! Looks awesome!!! Now all you need is some centered fogs and Steeda Ultralight wheels to complete the look!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68fastback Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Awesone, Stan! A friend told me that Hella is now making fogs that look black when off -- the ones he saw were rectangular halogen add-ons, but I'm wondering if they make round replacements.. that would look cool, I think. Meant to mention that in the other thread, Stan but just remembered. Good luck with her! -Dan <edit:> they're Hella Black Magic (<--an example) <edit:> Tire Rack says they're about 7" halogens -- should fit??

Grabber Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Pitpup: Your make over turned out great. The Grabber Orange is a super color, but the black accents really give it some contrast that is very unique. Bold move dude. The chin spoiler is totally cool. - good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Bold move dude'... I'm rippin' on Steeda, you're rippin' on Ford... gotta love it. Two words on this project. 'No Regrets!' Not one thing I'd do differently. I'd thought about going with their complete front end for the '07... not just the splitter. But there were too many holes in the front of the car. I understand what the holes were for. Just too busy for me. (Gee, do I NEED brake ducts? Ha, ha...) Glad you like it. People have come up to me and said I'm too old too be driving a car 'that cool'. (Now there's a left handed compliment!) I just say 'thank you'. :D ..........and the wheels ain't bad either! And you know... I ordered those from the factory because I had not seen (nor have I seen now) an aftermarket wheel I like better. Because they look so much like the old Crager S/S wheels, I doubt I'll ever change to something else. (Thank you!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell them you can't have a mid-life crisis unless you gross up first. Maybe you should say that they are too young to be off of the training wheels.

If there is such a thing as mid-life crisis, then I must have had it since I was fourteen and I intend on having until I croak. Who says you can't have fun when you get a little older, fun is not reserved for the training wheel crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitpup Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Very hot! Just my 2c - how about painting the chin spoiler black? It looks very sweet, man. The chin spoiler was put on to make the front more agressive. To paint it black (IMHO) would only disguise it and make the front look stock again (weak chin). I like the way the Steeda splitter follows the beveled lines of the stock bumper. I wanted it to be very prominent. Stan ...and the side valance? To paint it black looks too much like the V6 or Shelby. Absolutely LOVE the color coded side valance. I also love the window on the C pillar. Only the '66 Shelby had those. Many S197 owners are covering that window with a louver. Mine will never be covered. Love the look! Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
