+1, thanks for the info and the intro!

are you coming to the BBQ on Saturday before the meet?

You are getting so good with your pics! Nice!

Great mods, Erin.. Did you do the emblems yourself?

O hai!

Oh and yeah she did the emblems.

Hey, halo0... Is everyone pretty much local on here? My names Chris btw..

Id like to do something to my emblems (along those lines) but leave the Ford writing in chrome (or red for that matter).. But the blue oval in black.

somewhat like this style:



But the ford in Red (not batman..lol)

What materials did you use for your emblem, chikababe?

like adams red ford emblems? he got his from patriotdecals.com which no longer makes the the cursive writing due to ford filing a law suit against them

Looks good. I like the "batmanized" look.

I like going against the grain, so to speak. Otherwise youll wind up with what everyone else has.. JMO.

Were you able to do anything similar to the front? Or is the emblem molded into the grill and wouldnt look right with the "batmanized" effect (w/o the other pieces to make up the complete M)?

it's molded into the grill, so i have to keep it whole or it would look weird! I plan on getting a new grill, so that won't matter anyways!

what grill do you plan on getting?

I can only guess the open mouth grille! lol

Hi Erin! I am LOVING that Mazda emblem you made! That thing looks wicked cool.

Noiiiiiiiiiice!

assuming your rear shocks are the same as the ones for a fusion, make sure you do your final dampening settings, before you adjust it

That makes no sense. What it should say is this. Adjust both the front and rear to what you think you will like BEFORE you put them on the car. Even though the fronts are so easy to adjust on the car adjust them before. This way you can tell what adjustment they are at. Just because you put them all on full soft, they will not be all the same, the adjusters are not consistent for all shocks. So, make sure you compress them all, and make sure that they rebound at the same speed before you put them in, because you will not be able to tell the dampening rate once they are in. Then every time you adjust them, make sure to always turn the knob the same amount on all shocks, so that you do not mess the consistency up.

i was talking purely about the rears,you know how difficult it was to adjust them once they were mounted

It really wasn't that bad, it's just that we thought it was so hard because it was broken. The one that wasn't broken was pretty easy.
