That is exactly what I thought. I would like to have seen that thing after the wreck. He should have let off the pedal right when it went squirrely on him. He tried to play through and completely lost it.

That damn Nova was hooked up every run. The Evo's are nasty for racing against. There is a couple around here that are really bad bad boys. Not many want to take them on light to light. Also, glad to see the LS Mustang defeated. Ph**k that crap. I'm not impressed with the swap.

The mirror glass came in today. What a difference. The backing sheeted off. It was like looking thru a dirty window. lol All fixed now and it looks like the right. Nice and clear. Tomorrow they go on with the new door light led's. Going to try the RGB ones and see if I can still set them with the remote. I hope they work. At the same time, I'm going to look deeper into Red's wiring. According to the schematc, that plug for the keypad is suppose to be there. I want to check the speaker wiring anyways, as this one goes in and out once in a while. I may just swap the speakers while I'm in there. Tonneau goes back on tomorrow. I have to have a way to keep things from being stolen. Especially spare tires.

Red getting ready for the changeover of the front end and mirrors. The mirrors are first, as the painting will be done tomorrow after I get the booth set up. Look ma, no shell. The FX4's are going back on. Blue will get the Ion's. We'll see how that looks, or what I'm going to use on him this year. I figure that If I'm going to swap it to 99-03 front pieces, I might as well make it look correct. Blue will get this perfect front bumper also. His has 2 holes on each side, plugged, but still. This one is spotless, so I'll use it and save the other.

Red looks great! In the interest of adding pictures I'll just drop this here if nobody minds. Nothing special but it seems there haven't been too many Gen 10 photos here lately.

Been working on Red today,. The mirrors are on, the radio speakers are now fixed, the lights for the doors are now the RGB LED's with remote control. The site won't allow MP4's or I'll have to convert it and post the lights later today. He's getting there. I'm not going fast today. It's in the 60;s, sunny and actually fairly warm.

On to the wheels and then to vacuum him out and put on the cover. Small steps today. lol

Had to post ind. pictures This is the lights in the doors.. This should give you an idea, and these change colors with a small remote.

Those look good, AK! Are those the lights you got off of Ebay? Dumb question, but does one remote control them all? Or do you have a remote for each light?

Yes the ones from eBay. One remote will control all the bulbs. You may have to go to the other side to change them, not a lot of distance in range, but one controller will do them all.

Not a bad deal for under 3 bucks for both sides with remote

And of course, there is white light also
