Big changes coming up and final posts for the time being.
Slapped this Poison Spyder hood louvre on last week. 2nd hand and picked it up for free. Had no hardware or template so I had a lot of trial and error trying to get the cut outs correct. Not a difficult process but given my circumstances it took several hours to mount. Cuts were made with a fine tooth blade on a jig saw.
Also, picked up a set of Poison Spyder Defender XCs with a 3" tapered flare. I really wanted aluminum to keep things light, but the only one I could find was the negative flare version. Since this is still a daily driver I wanted a little bit of coverage. With this came a windstar intake, JK turn signals, and day star hood pins. I was also feeling weird and decided to pick up some PR4, Flame Red Chrysler Paint. These suckers are going to be color matched! I am going to do my best to get them test fitted this week, and hopefully prepped/painted by the weekend. We have some holiday plans that I just found out about so it may hinder my progress...
I started modding this last night, the tabs to keep it in place on the windstar have been removed, as well as the metal tab on the lock ring. I spoke with jjvw yesterday and compared his. I am going to copy his design and cut out the inner tube (technical term?) Its not restrictive by any means, but hey, why not?
Ive always been a fan of color matching. I am excited to see how these turn out.
Thats it up to date. Once the fenders are on I am going to ride it for the rest of the year like that. Winter Mods (hopefully no longer a DD) I will focus on outboarding the rear and relocating mounts up front with 10-12" travel shocks.
