So these never make the pictures or get noticed, and thats exactly how i like it. Im a JDM guy at heart, and i love sticker bombing and obnoxious car mods and colors. So i rep that on the down-low and tuck it away. I saw some guy on here do this to his acura (i think) and i loved it. Just started i need alot more stickers :x

Nothing to see from the back or outside...

I consider this to be along the lines of covert little touches that nobody notices, along with the "Big Nuts" air bag warning layover and the fk'n fast shift knob. Need moar stikarz!!!!

I actually like that, I'm sure most guys on here if not all will get their flame throwers out and bash you for the stickers but I think it's cool :beer:

Thanks guys! I love the outrageousness that goes with jdm style modding, and i couldn't lose that just because i have an American car. Under the trunk its tucked away for nice elegant body styling until you find and excuse to pop the trunk :D

Nice ride. It's amazing how much of a difference the grille delete makes. I originally went the Saleen route and painted the corral around the horse black and then I finally switched to a grille delete.

In addition to my earlier stuff, I've changed a lot on the interiors of the Lightning and SVTF. Most could get in and go for a ride just assuming it all came this way from the factory (my goal).

Lightning:
Heated power adjustable seats for both driver and passenger from a '98-'99 Navigator with custom ordered two tone leather:

(Yes, I swapped in the grey belt buckle receivers after the picture was taken)
Console with matching leather lid from an Expedition:

I'm taking it a step further and working on installing the optional navigation system from the Navigator/Blackwood:

Swapped the dash bubble, radio surround, and surfboard to Harley Davidson black ones:

Installed the digital climate control system from the Navigator:

Almost done with installing the Navigator/Expedition overhead console with a custom made gauge pod:

(I know it's not done yet - it will meet the headliner when finished)
Hopefully by the end of the month I will have a new Excursion steering wheel to integrate steering wheel radio and A/C controls while all looking factory:

Focus:
Installed the full EAP Recaro interior. It looks factory - I didn't just put in the seats. I put in the front seats, rear seats, door panels, and rear hatch panels so everything matches.

Hooked up seat heaters (my original seats didn't have it), and ordered custom stiched shift boot and parking brake boot:

Designed a custom gauge panel to replace the stock one. It gets rid of the Kph, changes some of the icons, adds my build number and the Piranha name with a logo, and changed the color from the stock green to blue:

(It's not perfect yet, but once I'm happy with it, I'll start designing one for to replace the Lightning's gauge panel)

I think that's about it so far, but I still have lots of things in the works.

:beer:
