Yea I have the dual climate control but no HUD and the analog DIC in my GT as well.

That is, I used to have an analog DIC, but I found the digital harness behind my dash and now I have a digital DIC. laugh

Quick shots of the front in my garage, followed by a shot of the debadging, driver side. You can kinda see the marks left over, which i'll be tending to tomorrow.

if you get board, and want to make your car super shiny, wash it, dry it with clean terry towels. look for any large things stuck on the paint (tar etc) and get those off. Follow with a clay bar (you can buy a kit at a parts store.)

the clay bar removes all the tiny particles trapped in the clear coat that your car has collected over the years!

then you can re wash it and dry it (more CLEAN terry towels) and then wax it, and no wax on wax off stuff, you are not learning Karate (from the karate kid movie) if you apply it going only in 1 direction, you won't get swirls! Same with removing the wax.

then get some sunglasses to block the GLARE off the car!

its not very fun, and will take up many hours, but its very rewarding!

it can be done by sticking something through the bulb hole, and smashing the red lens into small enough pieces to come out the bulb hole. That is how I did it on my first GT.

I bought this set though, so I think you could also separate the lens and remove the red part that way, but I have never tried it.

either way, you'd want a spare set of tails "just in case" especially if the car is a daily driver.

there are so many different ways to change the look of your car. The hard part is doing something unique.

I know cleared stock tails is not that unique, but I don;t think too many people have them either.

you pretty much HAVE to run LED bulbs with these to make your tails light up RED, not pink like a painted bulb might be.

and when running LED's you have to modify, or buy a flasher able to work with LED's

so its not just a anyone can do it, off the shelf type mod.

What's that big sticker on the engine cover?

Yank that junk off. Use your Fusion paint and do something with the cover.

I suppose i could just use the Krylon paint i used for the interior since the box is plastic yes?

That'll be my next upgrade in a week or so, getting a new intake.
