Should I just run SVT 5-spokes? I borrowed these from what is now Shempi's SVT.

yah shes doing great! Just had the timing belt and water pump replaced. But anyways, I think you should keep the EAP's. They are so damn sexy! But then again so are the 5 spokes... tough choice

UPDATED!
Sorry for size.

Installed LEDs into my license plate lights and did interior lighting as well

Have to swap engines still but should be done with that by week's end, hopefully. Wiring and tuning may take longer though.

my baby, shes up for sale to just testing waters tho tons of mods and new parts

Here she is





Shop near my house was having a dyno day so I put the car up to see what the numbers were.

Mid 40s outside, dry weather. Car had 274 miles on it on the first pull. All stock.

Nice! Even got it from close by me

Arggh! Blast the car dealers for putting their stupid dealer emblems on the back of every car they sell. That can really ruin the appearance of a nice car. California doesn't do this. The dealers simply use license plate frames, which aren't 'appearance spoilers'. Interestingly, Inver Grove Ford used a license plate frame AND an emblem.
One of the worst offenders was (is?) Tousley. Do they still have that huge windmill emblem? Would look okay on a John Deere or a Farmall.
Back in the day (60's & earlier), the dealers would actually drill into the sheet metal to mount their cast metal emblems. Check this out:

The Tousley logo now is just vinyl, comes off in about thirty seconds.

I've owned plenty of cars over the years with those old pot metal dealer emblems.

The dealer sticker and Focus badge have been removed, all that's left is the ST emblem and no license plate frame.

I would flat out REFUSE delivery of a car if they did that to it.
