I've been wingless for years with multiple cars, plenty of room for people to do what they want, not everyone is doing things just because everyone else is...some people actually like the same things as others...just sayin

People always say 5 spoke bullitts are the bandwagon, maybe they used to be, but you rarely see em anymore. One thing that is pretty common these days is people taking spoilers off. Didn't say you haven't done it forever, just that it's the "new craze".

just out of curiosity if you have been wingless for years does that mean that you did it right and filled/painted the holes or still just plastic plugs? I can dig a wingless car when its done right but to me that means that the holes are filled. With out them suddenly they look great from 15 ft away or below waist level but basically become good from far and far from good.
I have been rocking black deep dish bullets now for at least 10 years. While I have loved the wheels as I honestly think that they go with the shape of the car almost better then any other. With all the curves on a sn it just seems like a natural fit but needless to say now they have grown old on me and I was ready to move on. I will always have a bit of a soft spot for them though as I will never forget the first time I took the car out on the road with them. It was still completely stock from the air cleaner back as it had been since mom got new and had been years since anyone really noticed it let alone get a compliment from a stranger since it had become lost in in the sea of stock sn95s.

Years meaning with my black car, I switched it out for a 6er trunk lid with no holes, the white car I've had about 3 months so they are just plugged, the black one will go on this car when I can get it painted sometime in the future. Rock on with the bullitts I still have mine in the garage, I've actually always hated them till I got these 18x9/10 with deep dishes front and back, rear lip is a little bigger than the front

Redline Tuning Hood Struts
Nothing too exciting. I installed these today
Always wanted to do this mod, but it was Tony's post that got me off my arse to order & install them.
I had the brackets and self-tapping bolts powdercoated gloss black before installing. Got rid of the prop rod and cleans things up a bit.
Now, I have to decide if I want to put my chrome strut tower brace back on... decisions, decisions LOL,
Thanks

Is that an SVO intake? I can't read the plaque.

Yeah, I just went down to the basement, grabbed the strut brace and layed it in there. That lasted about 30 seconds. I agree with you, looks a lot cleaner without. I thought about pulling the blanket, but am unsure as to what the paint looks like under there. I've seen some that have done it and it looks pretty good, others, not so much. I heard that they don't do a clean paint job underneath because the blanket covers it.
I've had it on for a l-o-n-g time ago, when I had that embossed pony painted. It is starting to look faded. I guess I'll have something to look forward to doing next weekend.

Naw, just a plaque I found years ago. It says: "302 Power" kinda hokey but it looks good on there since it's different...

Hood Blanket/Insulation Removed
I took Ferocious' advice and pulled the hood blanket off last night. As I stated earlier, I was worried about the condition of the paint underneath. But as it came down I was pleasantly surprised. The paint coverage was really good. I didn't know this before removing it, but those 2 white half-circles are actually cut outs on the underside of the hood. I'm guessing to help move hot air through the hood and out the hood vents. Not sure how efficient they are, but they certainly will be able to function better with the blanket off of there.

I thought I red the holes were actually cut out by a ford tech to look for separation of the hood/underhood and add adhesive if needed. If your cuts look a lot cleaner then mine are...

I guess I must have gotten lucky that the tech took pride in what he did with my hood
... I like my idea as "heat-extraction" cutouts better LOL :wink:
