Sick ride ~ and pictures!!! :beer:
The pin stripe definitely makes the original stripes stand out more. Awesome.
Today was a good day. Got a decent license plate frame to put on the car...
Then I got some pictures from my dealer showing what just came in today..... Shut Yo Mouth!!
Looks like the Track Pack spoiler to me :ford:

Car looks great! Love the color combo and the tasteful upgrades
Got the car back from Elk Grove Ford. They took care of all the rock chips and the paint booger on the hood no questions asked, or cost to me. Really glad I bought the car there.
Genesis tint in Elk Grove sent me a few pics of the progress for the clear bra install. Can't wait to pick it up in the morning!!
In other news my Fathers Day gift from last year finally arrived. Looking forward to hear helping with he first oil change when I hit 500 miles.
Took this as a little momento the other day. And yes, the gas light comes on at a quarter tank. That gas guzzler tax is there for a reason

Got the car back from the clear bra install at Genesis. Came out real seamless. I had them wrap the car from the A-pillar forward, edges of the doors, and a little something extra on the mirrors. Came out to about 1800 total, but now i do not hesitate on driving the car. The clear bra really made the stripes POP!! If you are in the greater sacrament area I would recommend them.
Then I took the car out to Euro Sunday. I had the only one out there and it was a hit. Wish I could have taken the afternoon drive, but had to get back to some family stuff. Had the chance to meet up with one of the guys who organizes the Hooked on Driving events. Looking forward to getting out with that group. Here are few pics from that event.
Now just waiting for the spoiler and oil separators to arrive. Wheels should be here at some point before the Knotts show. Then still need to decide what to do about the brake calipers. That will probably wrap it up for modifications, then just focus on driving and paying off this bad boy.

Dat E30. =D The S38 looks like it was meant for that engine bay.
Looks like a great show you went to. Anyone know what wheel is on the black Porsche in the pic below the White Panamera? Love your Shelby!!! BTW, what did the R Spec wheels set you back?

I like to take pics with my shirt off too
I know man. Every time I see that car around town I crack a grin and smile.
The wheels I ordered are being made by need for speed motorsports. They are spun forged instead of carbon fiber, but in the factory R offsets/size
Hahah. I hadn't even noticed that until now.
Congrats man, that car looks so good.
Does this mean the cobra is sold?

Whats up Chris? Yeah the Cobra is sold, but missed. How is your car coming along? last i heard you had some monster blower that would eat small children....
The spoiler came in today with the oil separators and coolant tank cover. Looks like the spoiler is all prepared and ready to install from Ford. It even comes with a template for the install if your trunk lid does not have holes.
I also got the oil separators and coolant expansion tank on today. Both the oil separators installed fairly easy. About 45 minutes total for everything. Here is a before shot.
For the passenger side separator the moving of the wires is super simple. It literally involves pushing them over a few inches to install the tabs, then that is it. The passenger side loom clips back into the separator bracket. For both separators i would advise getting all the tubes connected first, then lock down the separator. The instructions recommend you mount the separator first, then do the connections. I found it harder to get the connections in place with the separators installed, and had to loosen them back up.
The tank cover was pretty easy to install also and does clean up the engine bay a lot. The quality of the plastic is not quite what i expected for the price, but it does serve its purpose. For the install I can see the plastic needs to be a little pliable.
The driver side is super easy also. These slip fittings on the tubes are a sinch. The driver side recommends trimming the sound deadening on one of the push pin tabs on the shock tower. I just reused the plastic push pin that originally came out since it was longer. If i need to at some point it will lightly trim the sound deadening and install the new one. The amount you need to trim is only a few mm at most.
I should have the spoiler installed Wednesday or Thursday depending on my time after work.

Looks great! All mods are very tasteful and compliment the car extremely well. Keep it up!!
Thanks brother. In the spirit of keeping things going
Track Pack Spoiler is on
While driving home I had some goober behind me in a cutlass honking his horn and rolling his hands like he wanted me to spin the tires. I guess it is the new spoiler. People riding behind me with their phones out taking pics/videos. Another good day for the Shelby. Hope this info was helpful. I do not do many write ups so those of you with better ideas or specifics feel free to add them. Or if you have a better way of doing it.
Looks like the only other mods to go are the wheels and brake calipers
Car looks great. It's hard to choose a color on the new GT350 because it looks good in everything, but I am sticking to solid black w/ no stripes. But the white w/ Blue looks stunning.
By the way, glad you did not get the 'R' spoiler. That spoiler belongs on the 'R' model. Beautiful car man.

Newest mods for the Shelby arrived. Not sure when I will install these lol. The Recaro car seat fits pretty well and matches the interior. We have two other 4 doors for family duty. Now at least I have the option to take the little guy along if we decide to drive to Utah for the GT350 Track Attack, Bakersfield for the GT350 Track Tour, or just out to a car show with the little guy.
Had a few odds and ends show up. Some expected, some not.
Got a few items in the mail. An invitation to the Track Tour which I will be attending at Buttonwillow. Hope to see some of you guys there. Also got a cool little owners pamphlet from Ford. Nothing GT350 specific, but cool. Last thing was a hand written thank you card from Steeda. I have NEVER gotten something like this from a parts company. I can say that the small amount of time and postage just earned them a customer for life.
Parts wise I ordered some LED Diode Dynamics side maker lights. I installed them today in about 15 minutes. They look much better than the stock halogen bulbs. Wish Ford would have just gone all out with the LED's on the car, but it probably also kept the price down. Either way I think it was $80 well spent and I am happy with the quality and looks.
