First Round Of Mods

[infinitereality]

Just picked this 2010 with all options but graphics. Previous owner took awesome care of it, I drove new and used ones before this and this one, even with 44K miles, drives just like a brand new one. Bonus was Rigid 40" white LED light bar and a 20" amber LED light bar.

I don't plan on doing much more, just drive it. I ordered most of this stuff new years eve since I knew I'd be in a Raptor soon since GTO sold, just finally got a break in the rain for a day so I could install them.

My XTINCT license plate transferred from the GTO to the Raptor and got lucky because it fits the truck perfectly. I also had this same plate on my old 2000 Trans Am Firehawk. The plate EXTINCT just because available, so will try to get it while I have opportunity.

For the tail lights I may start a thread on it, just so if someone searched or the stuff. Still waiting on some of the water to evaporate so I can hit it with the heat gun again. I was going do fill in the border with the paint mod I saw on a thread, but against a white truck I may just leave it as is for now.

I drew the rear Ford emblem in CAD and since I bought my wife a vinyl cutter for her birthday, I just made my own overlay. I scanned in the grill overlay so I can trace it and cut out more. I really dig the bold FORD letters but considering trying maybe a gloss white outline instead? Opinions??

- 20% tint on doors
- 45% tint on windshield (one of best mods)
- FORD Grill Overlay
- Headlightarmor on tails (light smoke, 50%)
- Recon Mirror Signal Lenses (smoke)
- Rear FORD emblem overlay (black/white)
- 6.2L factory emblems
- Stubby Antenna (3")
- Rigid Industries 20" amber LED light bar (in bumper)
- Rigid Industries 40" white LED light bar (behind grill)
- 7.5w LED reverse lights
- SMD interior LEDs
- Polyfill in stock Sony sub enclosure

FUTURE
- Perch adjustment (middle)
- 4300K 55w HID (I know, retrofit is better...this is just in meantime)
- Doug's 3" electric cutout
- Remote start & alarm (debating on manufacture)
- Powercoat front bumper part of skid plate - gloss white
- Powercoat skid plate - satin black
- Powercoat stock exhaust tips - satin black (maybe gloss??)
- Powercoat front tow hooks - satin black (maybe gloss??)
- Powercoat rear tow hooks - satin black (maybe gloss??)
- 2011 (or maybe 2012-up) factory hood graphic
- LED front signals

nice job. I really like the taillights.

Congrats!! She looks sweet!

Thanks! I was pumped to find a stock one, love the Rigid lights!

I used the same light smoke headlight armor on the headlights, fogs and tails of the GTO too. Tones down the tails just enough so the blend in better and cops won't look twice at them too.

Thanks! I take alot of pictures for each mod so no doubt more will come! I had over 1800 pics of the GTO throughout the time I owned it, lol

Might think about springs, tires & wheels and doing the perch mod before all of the bling..

Looks good so far with the exception of the white grill letters, never understood why some would want the FORD to jump out at you more than it already does.

I sort of agree with you, but I figure since it'll jump out at you already may as well make it stand out more, lol.

I think I'm going to play with overlay and make an outline of it and cut it on my vinyl cutter and see how it looks. The vinyl on this overlay is pretty thin compared to my Avery and Oracle brand vinyls, so even if I don't like the outline I'll just cut out the full overlay and put it back on.

I'm still trying to decide on powdercoating the silver part of the bumper gloss white or do it satin black like I'll get the skid plate, front tow hooks and the rear tow hooks/receiver.

Anyone have any inputs on doing the silver part of the front bumper white??

Crappy photoshop, but just to get a feel for which looks better....
