Title: Ecoboost beginner
Post by: SHOnUup on May 31, 2014, 09:57:59 AM
Well my better half(Mary) and I(Rich) just purchased a used 2011 non PP SHO about a month and a half ago now. After searching the web for info I kept finding myself being directed to here. So why not join.

I own a remodeling co.(not that big) and my lady is an RN. Think we were both born with a heavy right foot and the SHO has been great fun to drive so far.

We did own a 94 atx SHO about 10 years ago and have been SHO fans ever since. Our new SHO has new CAI, 160 Tstat, 534 plugs and LMS Mycalibrator. Just put on new side badges from the newer models yday with the black fog light bezels to arrive any day now.

Welcome, Rich, glad to have you here on EBPF!  Former Gen 2 owner myself.

If you click on the box next to IMG in photobucket, and copy/paste that in, you should be golden.  I just tested that.

Thx...used the img box instead of just copy and paste...

Put newer side badges on last night...waiting on those fog bezels in black...I swear I saw the mail lady yesterday(usually a nice guy that wouldve brought package to door) try to stick box in mailbox and when it didnt fit she drove off instead of bringing up to door....ahhh

Met with "Swag" from the forum and picked up the grille he had for sale...Real nice guy and I'm happy with the product....EBPF payoff allready....Pretty crazy the only place I could find one of these grilles around after weeks of looking was right down the street from me...divine intervention as this grille was meant to be with our car

Awesome, glad you got it!

I can't believe it lasted that long, divine intervention indeed....

Thanks...now to find a place to get it painted...Just emailed LMS to see if we can get some tickets to the customer appreciation day at Milan...would be nice to get it done before then(if we get some tickets)...Minds going crazy thinking of a custom paint job for this grille...thought I was gonna go black, but now I'm thinking some hidden old school SHO airbrushed maybe, hmmm
