Daliy driven Boss upgrades

[Dadz500]

So I decided since my GHIG Boss will be my Daily Driver I decided to make a few changes for the sake of convenience. I have more upgrades on the way to finish it up. Wheels and tires, Baer 6 Piston Calipers and upgraded rear Rotors.

So for now (and sorry for the crappy iPhone photos) here is what I have done so far.

Lowered on Eiback Sportlines:

Back up camera: Hard to see but it is in the middle of the tag.

Radar Detector Escort 9500ci with Jammers:

Rear Jammer:

And I know this is dumb, but I hate having a garage door opener and the sun visors are on BO for a couple of months now, not to mention this is cheaper and I gained self dimming rear view mirror:

And of course needed better tunes:

And just to complete the look on the front, I thought it needed factory fog lights. For those of you who know Justin from VMP Tuning, his Brother Jason, sells these kits along with other good stuff and does installs if you are local.

That's it for now. Wheels will be here next week so I will put the brakes on when they come in since I don't think the Calipers will clear the factory wheels. I will post some more photos then. I also got a Shelby rear spoiler for it which is being painted back, like the stock one which I should have on by Monday.

Awesome boss!! Very nice upgrades to go along with it too. I would recommend a shifter possibly

Thank you. Already put in a Barton. I have an MGW as well out of my Roush but I wanted to try the Barton. I only put it in today along with the Trackey but so far I like it better then the MGW except that reverse is more difficult then the MGW

Nice upgrades, I'm digging the homelink rear view mirror. Might have to do that on mine.

Very nice! How do you like the AC controls with the dash kit? I've been looking at them and trying to decide what to do.

 

[Boss3o2]

Where did you get the Digital A/C controls?

Looks great! Nice mods. Very tasteful.

Please do tell. And which rear view mirror is that.

Cool mods and thanks for posting.

I don't think anyone should apologize for posting any mods...or for using their cellphone for pictures.

 

[Dadz500]

Please do tell. And which rear view mirror is that.

The kit is the Scosche radio kit and the rear view mirror is made by Gentek, they run about $150 on eBay depending on if you want a compass, outside temp reading, etc. You can also get them from most Ford Dealers but you will pay much more for them.

Sure, I will take some decent pictures for you tomorrow. It's a nice setup, looks clean and factory. I used the Metra wiring harness with the Scosche kit because the Metra harness allows you to retain sync for bluetooth which I think is better then any aftermarket bluetooth even though most are made by the same company, Parrot. You have to do a little bit of work to make the stereo fit flush like mine, nothing major, just re drill the screw holes where the stereo bolts to the kit. I have the same kit in my 13' Shelby but the radio does not fit flush. I need to pull it out and readjust it when I get the car back from the shop.

I like them. Not a fan of the factory rotary knobs and like the factory nav because it offers the touch screen buttons and the regular buttons. I wish this said what temp you were setting like the factory nav setup does, but this is a close second.

I have a bit of a car problem.............

Nice upgrades Matt! Very well done....but then again, I'd expect nothing less!!
I need to get a 2nd job to try to keep up....and maybe a 3rd as well!! LOL!!
Keep the pics coming...and the ideas for that matter....my spoiler should arrive next week. Is there even paint on the factory boss spoiler? I was looking at it today and it looks like black plastic....

Very nice!! When you did the touch screen was a pretty straight forward install?

NIce upgrades....was at my local dealer looking at the new Explorers for the wife and sat in a GHIG Boss.....very nice. Need to go for a ride in one. I thought I was all set on an 11-12 Shelby, but there's something about the clean lines of the boss and the NA powerplant that has me curious.

Also, there are a couple of GT500 owners in here that also own Boss', and both of them say they have more "fun" driving the Boss. That has got to be worth something.

Keep the mods coming!
