I like the stock plate as well.I have the 5.0 H.O plates (3 or 4 of them),3 '86 only 5.0 H.O plates,one of them polished and looking good,and I end up going with the fabbed plate.Like I stated,I didn't want to have too much going on with the intake since I have the Cobra plate on there.

Thanks Rick.The Mass Air has been great,and the tips are goig away for a different set.I like the ones in the pic because they are genuine Ford parts,but I have a slightly different direction I'm going with the exhaust tips.

I was wondering if I could get a picture of the rear, to get a better shot of those.  I love them!!!

You cut into the stock rear bumper - right?

To install tips like that (in the bumper),you have to trim the fiberglass bumper,the bumper brackets  (lower outside 1/4 of it,you'll be losing a bolt on each side),and the bumper cover to fit the tips.I'm removing these tips and installing different ones as soon as I come up with the $100.00 for them,plus the money to have them welded on.

Here's the pic of the rear with both tips.The overall look is a lot better with the car painted.My blue car below had the same treatment,but with round angle cut,rolled edge tips.The gas lid on the blue car is from an '04 Bullitt Mustang.It'll go onto the Sport after paint.The burnout shot is from the event that the town put on last fall on Main Stret.A real blast to be able to do burnouts for 3 hours while with other car club guys while the cops,who usually give tickets for such activities,kept the street colsed off for us and watched from a distance.awesome.The engine from the blue car is now in the Sport,but with more mods.


If you look close,you can see my son holding his fingers in his ears during the burnout.The cutouts were removed from the Warlock lers,and it got a bit loud.LOL.

That looks pretty sweet.  Did you just use a carpenter's knife to cut them out?

I used a Dremel and an exacto knife.I have more plans after I recut the bumper cover.I have to get some Eurethane adhesive first.
