Funny you say that cause I'm going to start making my roof wing soon. And its going to be rainy season anytime soon so I was planning on getting some window visors. Both of those are definitely in my to do list.

Sharingan is right. Biggest tires I would run on the crown vics would probably be 215/45/16. Haven't seen a 50 series tire on them in person so I cant say. Plus it helped slam the car alot lower with no rubbing issues at all so I was lovin' it.

Nothing has been really going on with the fc lately. Mainly cause I'm saving up for t2 swap, should be able to pull the trigger on one in 2-3 weeks. If any of you know someone selling a motor let me know.

Was finally able to have a little fun since I havent drifted for months. Definitely need to work on my driving. I'll try initiating sooner next time, and dont mind the donuts at the end, my buddy swore I couldn't do donuts around him...

2nd time I tried exiting doing a manji but I realized I didnt have power so it just looked like I was aiming at the curb lmao.

BTW, anyone local that is interested...I'm now selling my shine half bumper mounted to my s4 bumper. Need money to fund the turbo, so HMU!

Lookin good! (for the record I still support the s4 look)
This car will rule w/a t2 swap.
Nice vid. Reminds me of when a friend if mine made a similar wager on the roof of a parking garage....sadly, no video though.

Radio: Thanks man!

Slowgxl: Haha yah, it took me a while to figure it out without using screws that mount to the outside of the bumper. I wanted it to look clean as possible.

Hyper: I know what yah mean, but I get that drifting bug once and a while especially when theres no events and no funds to even go to events. Next time you see me drifting it'll probably be on the track. For the record, I always liked your 240 back when I still had mine, sometimes I think of going back to an s-chassis but nahhhh.

For the price I can't complain, they look nice and aggressive on our cars.

Thank you sir.



Anyways, been bored waiting around looking for a motor. And not wanting to change up my look a little and not spend money I got my hands on a grinder lol.
Made some splitter winglet things, whatever you want to call them.
