My Christmas presents :)

Well this christmas was on of the most fun one sI can remember. I hope yours was good to.

So the excursion made out pretty well so take a look

1. 05 head lights
Before


After



2. MBRP 4 inch exhaust. The hardest part of the install was the fricken down pipe after that it was smooth sailing and now it sounds like a Freightliner
Before

Both


3. Super duty lights door sills


4. Running board lights


and they look ausome.
Not bad for a 15 year old

Tow mirrors maybe. Did I do it all my self yes . The exhaust took 5 1/2 hours. The running boards tock 4 hours. The 05 head lights took me 3 hours. And the PSD emblems took 10 min.
So far I have 12 hours and 40 min invested in this

Yep... those GASSER X headlights are real beauts... They, I mean those, GASSER X headlights certainly lead the way.

You could have had those GASSER X headlights for a great price if you were quick like Nick.

Did I mention those GASSER X headlights were originally on my V-10 X?

I'm going to guess that most of the posters in these forums (myself included) were into the grease at a young age. I was tearing apart and putting back together a rusty 71 Mustang at age 14.

Remember this?
