SM105K's SHO BIBLE/BUILDS/LIFE

[SM105K]

So I was sick and tired of opening my garage door and seeing a sleek all black car and seeing those bright and shiny tail lights like below.



So I had my tail lights and reflectors professionally darkened.



Much better. I am content for now.

Also, I have been stupid busy with work and competing. So, my whole plasti dip the SHO rims has gone wayward. I am actually going to plasti dip the wheels on the ST with the kit I received. It is Tuxedo Black with black trim so it will give me an idea of what the SHO could look like. I am trying to jam on that soon.

Looks awesome! Paint beats tint film all day! Looks factory. Mine are same, but my reflectors are blacked out with tint film.

I like this idea! Even if you don't do the same on the SHO it will satisfy your curiosity

I agree. I really like how they turned out. I am glad I do things on impulse sometimes.

That's exactly how I want my MKS lights to be! Looks great! Can't wait for a break in the weather so I can get mine all cleaned up.

Having the trunk spear black really makes the taillights stand out without the tint too. Looks much better now.

I know a guy....but he is here in PHX. Lol.

You are 100% correct. The trunk spear was really making them stand out. The funny part is, I love how the headlights look, so I will not be getting them painted anytime soon.

I like it! After doing my grille it has me wanting to do the rest too.

And after what you did to the grill, I want to do it too.

So when my car was a daily it has some serious rear wheel gap. Below is stock ride height.


I then proceeded to cut the rear springs to level the car. It worked nicely.



Then I installed my H&R's. However the rear wheel gap still bugged me.


So I cut my H&R's and now it sits like I want it too.

Also, I ordered new grill mesh, so the Ford Emblem will be gone shortly. When it is installed I will wash and detail her. Then I will take some better pictures and do a current mods both performance and exterior post.

What's the rear Ford emblem now? A turbo graphic? I can't tell.

They are custom burnt copper turbo bull overlays from Devieres.

Can you post a full, direct on side shot of your car after the spring cut? I'd swear my car already sits pretty level on those same springs without cutting. Maybe it is just from having bass in the trunk.

My car never has. Here are some other pics with the uncut H&R springs.





I still had a significant rake.....

When I get home later I will take new pictures, with the cut H&R springs.

Looks good, can't wait to see that side view

 

[Billy VK]

See, not much gap without modifying them. The car is sitting on a minor downhill parking lot

Mines not cut almost looks the same
