Finally some new exterior parts for the car

[FastDriver]

I've been thinking about doing it for a long time, but was focused on other stuff (engine, suspension, etc...). I bit the bullet today and ordered the parts I want to finish out the look of my LX:

- Saleen 90-93 front bumper
- 93 Cobra wing
- cervini part 4300 side skirts (not sure if they're saleen or other, but they aren't cobra side skirts)
- CDC grill delete (like the one on the stangnet's project car)

I'm curious to know if a heat extractor hood would fit over my TFS-R Box upper intake. I like the hoods and want to try one out, but they're almost $700, and I'd prefer to know before I get one shipped. Anyone have any experience with that?

I also bought some minor stuff from UPR to make some minor improvements:

- radiator support
- Weather stripping kit
- Climate control knobs (two-tone billet black & Silver with a green pointer)
- an "Eject" cigarette lighter
- Some black floor mats (I'd eventually like to change the dash, carpet, and center console to black
- New shift boot and bezel
- 6-speed shift knob (one day I'll get a built 6-speed to go with it)
- Ash-tray switch plate

There's still a long way to go, but getting these parts together makes me feel like I'm taking another step in the right direction.

You're still deployed, aren't you? When you coming home and working on this stuff?

I'll be back in Germany in December. Still a far cry from being able to work on this stuff. That's ok, though. It's at my best friend's place and he works on it from time to time when I send parts his way. Since he gets to drive it, and he's the only one I've ever let drive it, I think it's a fair trade.

How tall is that heat extractor hood? I tried the box with a 2.5'' hood and there was no way, with the 3.5 boss hood it clears it, but that hood was designed to have the same room as a 4'' cowl where the front of the intake sits.

If that' the case, then there's no way it will work with the heat extractor. I have that hood on my convertible and it might pick up two inches over stock.

My 2.5" Kaenen cowl works. Don't know why you had trouble. I think I'll forego the heat extractor until I am around someone with one. Then I'll just try it and find out.

Long distance relationships...

Thanks for your service!
