looks really good anyway. Custom shit FTW.

Thanks, they're not too custom, I just basically had to merge two lights to make them look like they were meant to be together and fit in the opening, then covered one with yellow lamin-x. I'll get some close ups later.

Is your "Mustang" radiator, the SVO unit sold in the Ford catalog?

It's a Jegs duel 1" core Universal aluminum radiator. It's just called a "Mustang", because it has the Ford layout for the in and out. (I noticed on Jegs site that they have changed it to say "Ford/Chrysler-style" instead of Mustang).

Thanks Jake, My thoughts exactly, I liked the bump and knew it would look great with fogs, but not so good without.
Sorry, no write up, they were a PITA!

Ok I had someone on here ask how I relocated my ICS so I will just quote my own reply:

jimi87-t said:
I used 1/2" aluminum plate and some aluminum tube. I cut out the plates as seen in the pic, to fit the valve, spacer and so on. I welded the tube on and attached a hose to the tube and fed that to a similar plate made that fits on the bottom of my TB (engine side of throttle plate, TB already had provisions for a Ford ISC).
