The 032R is more of a race oriented tire isn't it?? I dunno how that would do in the rain...

Justin: I would leave the front grille as is man... Don't you go adding SVT or Ford logos in there...[/b]



I agree with what Pascal's said about the T1-S. Great tire, great wet performance, and unbelievable grip. Road Noise is tolerable for a Z rated tire and a hell of alot better than my previous tires. (AVS Sports, and Dunlop's)

Oh and I don't plan on adding any badges. If anything I'm going to shave the rear SVT badge. I appreciate Elky's opinion but I think I'm going to leave it as is.

Thanks for everyone's comments

Holy Sh**,

Someone did some digging wink

Thanks for the compliments!

Pascal: Yea it still looks like that for the most part. I need to repaint the oval due to a few chips.

We have been in a water shortage all summer and I'ts been kinda hard to keep it clean. I'm not really sure how much more I'm going to put into it.(Other than some needed maintenance...plugs..etc) Since I'm really looking into a new car....I think you know what laugh

Thanks again!

Very nice car man! I especially like what you did with the tweeters. I started installing my Ekly Mesh yesterday. I have the top oval done; today I'll tackle the bottom and rear peices.

I think you should be able to clean the foggyness out of your headlight with some toothpaste. Do it at the same time you clear out the corners; it'll be much cheaper then replacing it. laugh

Actually I bought a new semi damaged headlight assembly off ebay for $30. The only thing damaged were the plastic tabs. I just made some brackets out of metal and it was as good as new. I tried to polish the scratches out of the old one and no luck....even used some metal polish and no luck.

Good Luck w/ your install! The Bottoms are a PIA! Other than Elky I think I was the first one to have these grills (way before the group buy) and they have held up....Still look brand new!

Later
