Starting 11/12 began demodding and progress can be seen in 1/12 picture demodding was 80% complete with only audio needing to be pulled and stock exhaust reinstalled.

Middle of January installed frakenstein stock exhaust


that was before it was finished, had a turn down tip tucked right up under the bumper cover for a nice clean look.

Noticed rust on chrome lug nuts while I was removing Plastidip


1/26/12 listed vehicle on Craigslist with these sale pictures

Departure Picture

This right now is the plan most likely for long term exhaust -> would just be swapping stock midpipe to mac pro


mac pro ^

this is with stock midpipe

A big thanks to for great products, prices, and customer service.


Thanks to WWW.MoneyCrate.NET

its been under construction, will finish tomorrow once im out of class before i head to work.

i kind of like the painted bullits better than the black and chrome ones

so whats up w/ the blue GT ?

@green lol yeah me too, i think its partially because theyre very played out and its just nice to have something different, i think they all black w/ chrome lugs and centercaps just look more sinister

@mike About to update that post, just picked it up.

Agreed

silver piece i guess bezel? around the hvac headunit center piece, is that stock or was that painted?

Also are stock pedals the dark plastic or could they sort of look like chrome billet pieces? theyre chrome with holes in them iirc

Thats a IUP...

IUP - Interior Upgrade Package...

The bezels and pedals are all part of it...

what all is included in the IUP, the bezels, pedals, anything else?

Should be pedals, shifter bezel, dash thingy and the adjustable headrest...

Exterior mod list.. i'm thinking a flat black theme

add mach 1 chin
flat black decklid panel
maybe flat black bumper inserts
possibly paint saleens flatblack (i'd really like to add a SB ring/lip around them)
a lot of TLC on detailing the car
maybe do the black billet fuel door? i dont think theyres a flat black one so might get and repaint, i dont really like the way stock fuel doors look painted the chrome pieces in the billet aftermarket are what make those to me.
One of the exhaust tips needs to be adjusted possibly switch to a different tip, dont really care for these
tint... 5%..or 20%.. TBD
Possibly smoke headlights (not too dark)
Delete spoiler if not paint it flat black
Paint calipers red..or maybe sb or black
if fortunate enough to come across an 03 cobra bumper..
paint tire lettering?
rear louvers

did you buy this car in PA? There is one on corral that looked almost exactly like this that I was going to look at if they totaled my car.

yeah i did and yeah thats the one lol

I love the method you used for plasti-dipping your wheels (I may do this if I can find stock bullitts). The GT looks great, good luck with it.

thanks yeah if you're doing it outdoors i would definitely recommend the cards theyre perfect size for low wind resistance and solid enough to stay in place, thanks again, whats the status with yours last i read you had plans of SCing it?
