New Look for my Stang

I FINALLY got the hood that I bought way back in June painted and on my car. Since it took so long to get it going I decided to get a CDC chin spoiler and some Roush window louvers as well. The pics aren't the best quality, but I should have some more soon. Enjoy.




On thing that I didn't think about, but now wish I had done was to get the silver mesh painted black. It shouldn't be hard to do it myself so I should hopefully have that fixed so that it matches the rest of the front of the car.

One thing that I thought was funny was that I have to actually tweak my tune now since the car is getting more air. The hood is actually functional and feeds air right on top of the filter. I don't know that it will actually give me power gains, but it confused the computer enough that when I have to brake from high speeds or after accelerating fast my RPMs will sometimes surge and then drop to 0 and stall the engine. Needless to say, I am just driving her around town until I fine tune it and add a little more fuel to the tune since I assume she is running slightly lean now. No error codes though, which is a good thing considering all the problems I had when I first tried installing my CAI, lol.

LOVE the Hood!!!
Painting the mesh Black wouldn't be a bad idea, but it still looks Great with the Chin Spoiler!!!

The spots on the car in the first picture are rain drops as it was beginning to rain just to clarify, lol.
