Trim prep and paint prep took most of my time. Plus after the gym and the heat...I didn't finish lol.

I have the trunk and lights put back together. The whole front is also together. Working on the sides today.

Thanks Andrew.  I will at least get the trim done today.  My cafe closes early, but the heat is really zapping me.  I am in alot of recovery debt right, with such a caloric deficit lol.

I agree, the chrome on these are terrible.  Once all the trim is back on, I will hit it and the all of the skirting with The Last Coat and the car should really pop.

Congratulations that is IMO a perfect cosmetic upgrade along with the wheels that drastically changed the entire look of your SHO.  It's very clean and very well done.  You didn't skimp either, you pulled all the trim, fender name plates, grille and had them professionally painted to color match.  Not many can say they have done that.  I also like the look of all the trim blacked out but I did vinyl before...having them painted is a step above.  The car looks like something that would show up if I didn't pay a loan shark back on time....Id imagine something like that stalking me.  Mafia type $hit haha!  Looks like no play all business!

Hahaha Mafia SHO.  Yeah I have over 12 hours just on the trim. Removal, prep, getting them painted, and then re-installation. They cut my hands up, frustrated me, and made but at the end, it came out just as good as I hoped. I love the rims. They really go hand in hand with the trim.

The upgraded trans mounts are amaxing.  The shifts are amazing esp the second to third shift.  The feel and sound from them is amazing. Yes the sound. I found myself, just driving without the radio on yesterday.

The car really makes me happy now, and in the limited time I driven it, people really stare now.  If I didn't have limo tinted windows I would be uncomfortable.

I do want the billet grill set ups too, so maybe down the road.  However I am really happy.

Only thing truly majorly left is turbos and fuel pump...

The Focus got washed and vacuumed today. Along with a fresh oil swap and and new trans mission fluid. That dual clutch fluid BS was $31.50  per quart. I only need two, but come on. On a side note the trans shifts a lot smoother now.

So the SHO has a crack in the garbage windshield that Safelite put in the car.  I am going to request that they replace the windshield with OEM Carlite Soundscreen this time.  This also means that I have to get the damn banner re-done.  Not a big deal, just a time waster.  However, rather annoying.

The car is getting copper metallic overlays for the ford ovals when they arrive I will install them. 

I am also going to pull the front clip off the car this weekend.  My trans temps (even with the PP cooler) are warmer than I want.  Cruising at 80-85 mph here in the heat of Phoenix I am seeing 207 degrees.  Ford says 100 degrees over ambient is acceptable...but not for me.  I am going install a larger cooler, and make it fit in the stock location.  Cooler is below.  My local speed shop has the same one for 5 bucks less. So why not?

Update on the Upgraded mounts. They are DAMN good. If you have stock DP's, it literally took me 20 mins from start to finish to install these. Yes the car vibrates more (it has gotten better with the mileage) but the 1-2, and particularly the 2 - 3 shift is amazing. If you don't mind the mild vibration, and want the performance, these are probably the 2nd best mod besides a tune IMHO.

Got the custom overlays in. Installed them, and they are perfect. Just the burn copper color I wanted.

Now I have to snag some black lug nuts, and when my new license plate frame comes in hopes that it somewhat matches the overlays.

The SHO is looking top notch my friend!  The overlays look better than I imagined for a copper badge!  Etsy Designs does great work!

That cooler should improve your trans temps for sure.  Looking forward to your results.  You're hoping for about 20-25 degree cooler temps?  I think that's a reasonable expectation.
