Continuing with the blackout (pics)

Since my daughter was born on the East coasts biggest blackout (back in 08/2003) I figured I would make a blackout Sho.  So far I've had: all the windows tinted, chrome accents painted matching black, black Sho overlays over the Ford ovals.  Now I just put on the light cover vinyl.  Still need the rear bumper reflectors done since they forgot to ship them.  Planning on all black wheels for the spring.

Got lifts set up at home?  Nice!  And oh yeah, welcome to KITT Darkside style :D

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Totally murdered, but I think I am more envious of the 2 lifts in the garage. I wish I could do but I don't have the altitude to install one.

Looks nice! I believe I could drive a car like yours here in Quebec for about 1 hour before I get pull over by cops. Front windows tinted , tail lights and front lights tinted = illegal. Not where you live? I agree with Chris, I envy most your lifts! Cool

Darkside..." black Sho overlays over the Ford ovals."   I have been looking for these, can you post where you found them?  Thanks in advance. The stealth look does wonders for the SHO. Very nice.

The lifts are my favorite car mod Ive purchased.  Hate having a small garage and hoping to build a 6 car in the next house.

The overlays are from justdecalit .com .  Really good to work with whatever you want.  The only negative is the ford script is raised and you can see it slighty when up close.  Still a big improvement to me.

The tint and covers havent gotten me pulled over yet, probably at some point.  The led tails are super bright so the covers dont cut down much light.  Between the tinted windshield and headlight covers its definately tougher to see at night.  Fortunately I dont drive much at night.

WOW! Looks sick! :bow:

I'm not customarily a true, die-hard fan of the all black "murdered out look" as it's so over done and I see it quite regularly here in the Chi-Town area, but IDK, something about yours just looks sssssooooooo good!

Nicely executed! :thumb:

Now, funny story, my youngest daughter just walked past me sitting at the island in the kitchen, and she saw me expand, and then aimlessly stare off into space, the image of your SHO parked in what appears to be your own personal house/garage..... and those lifts.....  :hypo:  :eyecrazy:

She says out loud, and I quote: "Keep dreaming Dad, there's NO WAY Mom's letting you get those".

My reply to her.... "Oh man, if you only knew.... you and Sister's go make lots of money and take care of your old man, and someday that could be my Christmas gift from you girls".

She rolled her eyes, in a fashion that can only be performed exactly like her Mother would roll her eyes at me, and at that, we both just laughed and carried on with our business.

Too funny I tell 'ya.

Just go work some more side jobs, always been my theory.  The lifts have kept my sanity with having a 2 car garage.
