Absolutely beautiful.

How are you planning on protecting Jack's signatures from wear? I know paint pen is better than a sharpie, but they won't last very long... especially the one on the tailgate.

That's a great point. I know someday the whole panel thing might blow off my tailgate at anytime, so I had Jack Roush sign the dash and my engine bay so at least I have those. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it and retrace it with a silver sharpie when it starts to wear. I thought about hitting it with plastic clear coat in the rattle can, but I'm afraid of the signature turning yellow over time.

Thanks for the compliment! We have an Optima in my wife's Expedition for about 6 years also with no problems! Still starts strong! They're great batteries. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Been awhile! I finally saved enough for a new hood. I did like the scoop, but I was ready for an upgrade! I finally decided on the new Cervini's hood and they were so confident in the fit that they painted it:

Nice.

Any supercharger mods?

Must bring that HE out of the over especially living in a hot climate.

No, none yet! I'm currently working on pulling the Intercooler from between the radiator and HE, and placing it in front so it can get more air. I really don't know why Roush put it there! I've got the new one out front, and when it gets a little warmer, I'm going to route all the hoses and reposition the pump. It pulls pretty hard as is, I'm not looking to race or track. Maybe I'll get some tunes from Troyer or JDM.
