The unveiling of the new & improved 91... how'd it turn out?

[ACV1081]

Well with everything complete except for the subframe connectors, 96' brake upgrade, & headlight covers here is my 91's new look! Oh & it is also my daily driver from now until the end of summer. It is a beautiful machine & afer an exhause leak fix it will have track times by Sunday. Opinions are welcome but in my heart it's beautiful thumbs_u It embodies lots of blood, sweat, tears, & cussing. Side note those 18x8" team dynamics withe the 235/40/18 Kumhos fit fine with actually a fingertip gap between fender & tire. It was trimmed previously though it seems, just not by me. Anyways had to share my glee.

Jeremy your car kicks some ass too! I appreciate the compliment! The gen 1 is an animal & too bad many are disappearing it seems.

Edien... first of all I got the same springs as you so the drop is as low as she can go & I about died that there is still wheel gap too! Anyways the center caps were powedercoated also & wouldn't fit in the center anymore. I broke one tryin... any idea where I could pick up some replacements??? thumbs_u

Very nice, my friend, VERY nice. I must say I think the rims looked better in Silver but hey, your car

 

[qiksho]

THAT is the nicest gen I I have ever seen in my entire life. That thing is so sweet. The spoiler is just a tad big but, I know it'll grow on me. I hope I can get my future 91+ to look that nice. How much did the suspension cost u??

 

[NJshofear]

wait a second...does you car have a grill?????

oh and thanks thumbs_u

All i'm saying is my SS springs didnt get me past 2" upfront in the drop-o-meter, the extra came with more "custom labor" $$$, the rear is all SS. Now my front gap is only a finger, is the gap you mention with only one finger in the rear or front?
Do you really want/need them to say Team Dynaimcs, b/c i'm pretty sure other centers from other rims should fit. But from TD directly they should run like $80 try emailing them on there website they should give you an answer.

[poissonverte]

Hey ACV, first off, just want to say I love what you did to your car. In fact, I was just starting a thread on what people would think about a new body kit for a sho on fordvschevy.com. Anyways, I see you got those clear white side blinker thing a mobobers. Where'd you get 'em? I want to replace those OEM side blinkers. I think all clear up front would look nice. Thanks.

 

[Isaac Marquez]

One more thing ACV, I put up a pic of your sho in the fordvschevy forum in the SHO section. Hope you don't mind.

 

[fredhurderjr]

My old centercaps from TD kept falling off. Don Kane there was awesome about getting me new ones quickly.

 

[sdpatt]

Adam,

Very nice. Quite radical for a SHO.

I think he just has some white vynil over the yellow part of the blinker. I have the same thing on my car, but in the daytime, you can't see the blinker very well.

(DROOLING) Adam, that looks AWESOME! I love the look of white genI as is, but the fiero spoiler and cowl hood just add to it. VERY NICE!

 

[ACV1081]

First of all thanks to everyone who has been so complimentary! I am loving the gen 1 & it's been keeping me off the forum since I want to drive it all the time! The grille is/was off & is being replaced with an oem tomm. As for the sidemarkers I did the chrisR route & taped off the amber color & painted over it in white. I have since bought GTS headlight covers & am waiting on their arrival. Overall the car is a blast to drive & if it hadn't rained I would have track times because that's where I went tonight Seems the car wants a week more practice in shifting & what not before I get my feet wet on the track. Anyways I'm visiting the previous owner speedy91(eric) tomm & see what he thinks of his old ride & learn some of the internals of the SHO engine as he dismantles & reassembles a 3.2 & 3.0. Fun times & hopefully a great summer ahead! Once again thanks all & enjoy the SHO thumbs_u

That car looks sweet!
