Been pretty busy, finally got my intake installed (yay) and a bunch of other stuff I had ordered and was waiting on finally got here. Here's some pics, let me know what you think.

The black out (Moss Mustangs Slotted Tail Light Covers in Trim Black & Magnetic Rear Blackout)



The Strange Development Strut Tower bar & 07 Plenum Cover.



Check the clearance. I had to make a quick adjustment as it was less than a hair away from the bar. I took the two rubber grommets out of the sides of the plenum, put the cover on and then used the grommets over top of the studs to keep the plenum on and sucked down on the intake. It's hard to see in that shot but from inside the car you can see it has lots of room, even when you gas the motor.



And the C&L (with MGW rad cap and other bits above).

The strut tower bar ties the two strut towers together physically. This reduces flex in the towers when doing hard cornering. With the bar in, the car definitely handles a bit flatter in the corners.

There is more info on their site, it's got a few nifty bits.

Intake is fantastic. I wish with the Auto I had the SCT tuner as it's supposed to be better but the intake and diablo tuner made a huge difference. Cut nearly 3 tenths and added 2.5MPH in the quarter mile over stock.
