Nothing too exciting probably, but I was excited to put them on. I've been putting them off for about 2 years lol. Since I have a shoot coming up soon, I thought it was time. Body colored radiator extensions and strut tower covers. I made a not for MWAG to make a hole for my Tokico's, and they did so. It looks really nice. I was just expecting a hole, not a nice grommet. And they lined up perfectly. I'll still have to pop the cover off to adjust them, but that's no big deal. I also have some torch red hood struts on the way (and I bought the MWAG plug for the radiator cover, as well).

I know, she's filthy. Gotta love Midwest winters.

look great dark... Now are you going to paint the radiator cover red instead of the flat black ?

I think it looks kind of cool with them being part red and black.. Although painted would look good too.

Cal Mustang/NXT hood struts came in today. Look great. I hope to get them in this weekend.

I'm going to leave the radiator cover alone. I like how it flows with the grill.

As for the strut tower covers, they have a few options now for strut tower brace owners. Check their site, they might make them to work with yours.
