On the front of my Fox.

I have now joined the Pothole (Road-Bump, Bad-Pavement) Haters Club.

It's not slammed but the front is finally exactly where I want it!

Bitchin fox body man. Sweet that you found a good spring rate for it. Presumably an auto-x or track set up right?

Thanks buddy!
Exactly! I plan on running some Auto-x with the local club and do the course and class at Mustang Week this year. I made it to one event last year and stripped some splines in my rack mid way thru the event but I ended up running within 10ths of my father and cousins final times, (after 2 extra hours of running) in their 4.6L Mustangs, in my 2.3L 4-Banger.
It's a master of maintaining momentum and carving like a knife.

Thanks buddy!! Except for the front bumper and hatch it's still rocking the 20 year old paint with my graphics package added about 4 years ago.

I have only seen one other fox with the Mach 1 style chin spoiler. Looks well done. How hard was it to get it to take the shape of the LX bumper?

Thanks man! It was probably the Black Coupe of Kody Smith. His Fox is all over the interwebs. And It wasn't very hard at all. You make sure to measure dead center on the bottom of the bumper and mount the middle hole in the chin spoiler first then work your way out alternating either side to keep the contour uniform. When you get to the curve you have to cut triangular slits to accommodate the tighter turn on either side and then trim the excess when it gets to the fender wells. I ended up removing the front wheels during installation to make it easier when it came to the ends. All in all it only took about 2 hours with me taking my sweet time.

I know the coupe you speak of exactly. I will have to see how low my car goes and may put one on in the future. I had already planned to do the same CDC grille delete even before I saw your car....I don't want to copy!

Haha Imitation is the greatest form of flattery man. I don't see borrowing ideas as copying and take offense. Had a guy at Mustang Week last year that had a calypso convertible and had seen my custom trunk graphic online and got a vinyl guy to closely replicate it. He came over to my car almost immediately after I had left his and thanked me for the idea and honestly It was an overwhelming feeling of flattery. It was awesome that someone had seen the work I had done and wanted to apply it to their own ride. My car is a mashup of things I've seen or thought up, so just do what you'd like and dont worry about it! (Unless you want to copy Disney... Thats another can of worms lol)

The Trunk Graphic!

Well I shall procede down the same path, good taste is good taste. I wanted FR500 wheels before they got popular and now they are played out so I can't do that. I just hope Mine goes together soon.

P.S. that model looks like it turned out great!

Heck yeah! I wanted the 10th anni wheels before they got played out and I felt like when I got my Saleen SC wheels they were the most popular wheel of the summer. You can't win smh. I picked these because they were the same basic 5 spoke style as my old black pony wheels and it wouldnt be a drastic difference just a change in size.

And thanks it still needs a hoodscoop and I'm working on making a black ziptie into a chin spoiler but for the most part its done!
