After installing them I noticed on the passenger side that the outside edge that matches up with the rear quarter seemed to be too far inward exposing some of the seam molding where they taillight would normally cover up.  I don’t think this was because of the lens itself, but one of those ‘tolerance’ things from the factory.  To fix this, I took a die grinder with a drill cutting bit and lengthened the holes (6 of them) to the right, allowing the lens to shift outboard.  This worked like a charm.

Now the true paint/body line is matching up with the lens perfect.  Also of note, when you install a set of these, be sure to get your up and down height correct.  You do not want them resting on the bumper cover, they should be some were around 1/4″ above the bumper, and use your deck lid line to make sure you are parallel all the way across.

Also for those following along, we got in the radiator hoses today.  We ordered from Tousley Ford some stock 2011 5.0 hoses, these will work fine, the bends match up perfect to our Mishimoto radiator.  Only thing is that the upper hose is 1 1/2″ and the radiator upper inlet is 1 1/4″.  Jonathan over at Late Model said just use a nice screw type clamp and it will seal up just fine.  They run it this way over there at Late Model on many of there mod swaps they have in house.

‘Til next time! 😉
