What's the idea with the finned shroud? Do they have function or are they just for looks?

Did you sneak a halo in behind the shroud?

I sure did. Actually came with some ring which I dont know what it is for but halo fit perfectly on it and is sandwiched between shroud and projector mounting bracket. All holes lined up perfect. 4 screws and it all screwed together. I used epoxy to glue halo to ring and used halo mointing wire at 4 points. Good strong build

Great build, Just spent about 2 hours reading through the thread lol Gnarley arm...

Will definitely be interested in this 6 spd F35 setup if/when my 4.45 F35 decides to **** the bed. Where in Canada are you Tom? Would like to see this beast in action. I'm not far from John myself.

video doesn't do it justice. Cant really see halo on video just the light. Looks better in person

Those lights are awesome. The halo turn signal is a nice touch.

jK man I can't wait to see your car all completed

Ah ok, good to know, im guessing internals aren't swappable from f40 to f35 are they?

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

They are not only option now is to go f40 swap or if jason has that set to buy it off him

You mind expanding on this a bit? I once went for a dyno run on a loaded mustang dyno and the readings were weird for my setup. My torque peaked and died off way earlier than would be expected. We could have been a little off when we calibrated the dyno to engine rpm and I don't know if that by itself could have caused it or not. But you sound like you're familiar with dyno's reading funny so I wondered if you kind of knew what all could cause that to happen.
