    The grill and driving lights are still my favorite part. What Ford should have done. It would have been a nice Grabber upgrade.

    Wow. I love the look. I have wanted to do a GT 500 style front on my Mav for a few years now. I like the grill. Is it custom or did you retrofit it from something else? Keep up the good work

    Beautiful car thack. Really impressed at all of the little custom things that you did. How did you make that front air dam?

    Wow... that is so kewl...

    Looks awesome from every angle I can see... absolutely love the tailpipes and I can just imagine that raunchy GT40 drone... I'd pay good money for a sound clip... ;)

    Curious about what's bracing that Jag suspension and all those ponies - no torque boxes, no bracing... no flexing? It's so TIDY under the hood.

    So if yer inclined to post a pic of the underside - we're all DYING to see more.

    It is an awesome piece. The best part is how unique all the modifications are. Most modified Mavericks are comprised of variations of popular modifications, with small tweeks here and there. This is a beautifully crafted original from front to rear, top to bottom. :thumbs2:


    One last little touch that I didn't notice until Saturday night, was the light-up Ford oval in the grill. Cool.
