Since I just can't seem to leave anything alone I decided to personalize my '14 Brembo GT ~just a little.

Car came with leather and all the good stuff.

Bought the car brand new from the dealer, bone stock back in March of 2014

All stock, getting acquainted with the garage...

Since then I have added a number of things including track pack rear diff cover (Installed by dealer at first gear oil service drain/refill)...

3" Flowmaster mandrel cat-back exhaust with x-pipe, re-vamped with old-school Flows and rolled stainless tips...

Staggered STR 607 Gunmetal wheels and 285 rear tires, BMR LCA's and re-locaters, adjustable panhard, Steeda Ultra-Lite springs...

FRPP Track Cal tune with lopey idle, pit speed control and launch control, Drop-in K&N, better shifter.

Here's a video of some canyon-carving after the tune was installed...

~All the normal stuff for the most part.

Most recently I'm customizing the body...

Added a Boss diffuser and RTR license plate surround...

Roush rear/side splitters...

Coming very soon are Roush side splitters (In transit), Cervini's GT500 conversion kit for front (Grilles and chin splitter, currently in production), Stow and Show front license plate bracket and GT/CS lower bumper fog lights (Already have fog lights and license plate bracket new in their boxes).

Pics for reference...

Nothing super special yet but thought I'd share. Down the road plans are a one-piece driveshaft, MGW shifter, and if I'm lucky an Aluminator shortblock (Might be in the works, we shall see).

Love 'em, especially in combination with the relocators. I'm on the middle notch and ZERO wheel hop, ever. The combo I have along with a good 4-wheel alignment and a centered panhard/axle completely changed the car.

Roush side splitters arrived...

BEFORE

AFTER

Posted by bwkelley76 (Member # 8792) on :

The Cervinis GT500 kit has finally shipped! I should receive it next Friday. [Smile]

Posted by bwkelley76 (Member # 8792) on :

Upper grille showed up. Lower grille and chin splitter will be here next week.

Fits very nicely, getting the fog lights out was a bit of a PITA and my knuckles are missing a bit of skin.

I do think down the road I will black out the AC condenser or maybe remove the center brace and fog light mounting braces. This grille screws in place from behind and it can be done through the top if you're flexible enough. No clips to break which is nice.

Posted by bwkelley76 (Member # 8792) on :

Yep, definitely blacking out the AC condenser.

Or might consider leaving it aluminum and cutting out the center bar and old fog light brackets. Not sure yet.

Posted by bwkelley76 (Member # 8792) on :

Removed the braces, toyed with a few different ideas and decided to stencil and paint "GT 5.0" on the AC condenser.

Thanks! I've tried to keep it respectable and subtle but by no means stock.

Thanks! I held out for 3 years and just couldn't take it anymore...lol. Now is the time to get one, you might even find a new '14 still on a lot somewhere. ....everything is For Sale by the way. I'm open to offers [Wink]

Received the lower grille today, it looks great, excellent quality. The chin splitter will be here tomorrow and I already have the California Special lower fog lights. My goal is to install the lower grille, fog lights and chin splitter all at once.

Received the chin splitter, can't wait to get everything installed!

Everything is installed now.

Here are a few pics of the removable license plate frame. I tied it into the k-member with flat-bar to strengthen it a bit. Otherwise it just kinda flops around.

(NOTE: The front bumper is actually going to get re-painted or replaced soon and the old license plate holes will be gone. ~The dealer owes it to me. I just wanted to get everything mocked up and definitely didn't want them installing it all. I may actually have them do their thing on the cover and then let me put everything back on so I know it gets done right.)

And the finished product...

Here's a picture with the license plate clicked into position on the removable bracket.
