Thanks! Body moldings are next when I get a deep 3/8" socket to take them off.

That was a PITA, and I've only got one side done. I had to pull the dashpad, A and B pillar trim along with the door seals. I didn't want any red showing. Looks like shag though! Also did the door handles.


That is so badass....I don't know whether it would improve even more by painting the molding black, or leaving it as is...the chrome kinda breaks up the red, but not to the point of being overly flashy and gaudy...
Of course, I do tend to favor the so-called "Euro" paint scheme anyway...

Here's what it looks sans body moldings:





If there wasn't so many holes, I'd just keep them off but I'll just paint them black.

Oh man.  I like it WITHOUT the body moldings!  The blacked out windows and frames are great.

Too many holes to fill to leave the moldings off. I may paint the bumpers. If it looks funky I can just strip it off.

Keeping the door moldings on and filling the rest of the holes. I'll replace the fenders if I can find them from a molding delete car.

Did you have to modify the case or cowl for the SN95 evap core? Was thinking custom hoses for my project, but with the newer core I might be able to use the factory 03 mustang hoses.

Nope. It was a direct swap, other than the foam seal at the firewall.
