Looks good. I plan on doing this soon too. What did you use to fasten it on? I been looking for plastic push rivits but I can't seem to find any 'good' ones.

With the spoiler they give you locknuts, washers, and bolts, they work perfectly. You've got to drill your own holes and try and shape it as best you can, since it's made for the mustang. The 2 holes you'll drill near the fender (one on each side of the car) are the biggest PITA, because you have to remove the plastic push pins from the fender and bend the bumper/fender to be able to get a wrench in and tighten it down.

looks good. What kind of floor jack is that? I need a new one. That one you have looks to be pretty solid. Do you like it?

I have a problem with my jacks castors catching on my semi pitted concrete garage floor....

I saw them too and was gonna ask, noticed it wasn't a Marauder and saw the side markers are wrong too. They don't match up..

Go to sears and get their 5 ton jack and jack stands that is what I have. the 1st pump lifts the jack to meet what ever you want to jack up then goes into heavy lift mode.

It weighs 100 pounds but man it was a good jack for the money!

It's a good jack, but it's for lowered cars and is only for 3000lbs. Takes a bit of muscle to jack up this beast. My buddy works at harbor freight, he let it out the back door for 50 bucks :rolleyes:

The corners fit perfectly, the gold color showing is from when they painted the car with the original crown vic corners on it. She's going in for a re-paint next week :burnout:

Where is the radiator dam that forces air?

Has anyone checked coolant temps to see if the change?

I like the looks of the dam.:D

I used 1/4" plastic push rivets to fasten mine. If you use nuts & bolts to fasten it and you hit something your more likely to destroy your bumper.

Well, you use a washer on each side of each bolt so I think it should be ok impact wise. Do those plastic rivets really hold it up well? I was thinking about using them but it seemed like they wouldn't snug it up enough.

It does look nice. Ive been wanting one for the longest, the car should have came with them

but 100 something dollars for a piece of plastic is outlandish... IMO

Got ya lol :D

Not making a MM clone, just love the wheels and the black out look of the corners. She's getting a trick flow twisted wedge kit this summer.. 380hp using the plastic PI intake :beatnik: I'll be going with a track heat intake though.

I've got one in the garage waiting to be installed, a friend was going to put it on his Focus, but he sold it. I'm just waiting for a warmer weekend so it will warm up and be more flexible.

No hardware though, I think I'll go the rivets route, and maybe supplement with some 3M tape too.
