Several able specialists around who deal with Mustangs (and it's important they know about them and the sensitivities of the CAN BUS network). About £500 to prep and test.

You will need to go to AMCAR or similar as this is the only real way to go to be sure the SJB (smart junction box)is not damaged. If the wiring is done wrong, and the SJB gets burnt, then you are looking at £1600 minimum to get the problem sorted properly.

The light is actually much more "white" than it appears in these photos. The main beam in my opinion is better than the stock US units so they are worth the upgrade for that alone.

Yeah James, have made a few little mods since last year (full Roush suspension and CAI etc). I am thinking of a blower but will probably go down the Ford/Whipple route. Everyone else has Roush or Saleen so I'd like to be a little different.

By the way, don't know if my mate Mike has been in touch again but he wants to know what exhaust systems you can get for his Viper - think my Loudmouths have made him think a little! PM me with some prices if you do any.

Cheers, will pass that on. Price isn't too bad with current exchange rates but shipping will be the killer. I brought mine back in my wifes suitcase last time we went to the states.

Hoping to make it this year, I think I was away last year. Any chance of getting my fog lamps wired up whilst I'm down there even though it's not a work day?
