Thought it might be nice to share what some of us have done to modify and/or personalize our SPFs. Here are some of mine. Billet aluminum reservoirs for clutch and brake. Purchased the reservoirs from Kirkham Motorsports. Purchased the mounting brackets and lines from Olthoff Racing.  Billet aluminum shifter ring.  Billet aluminum hood prop.  Billet aluminum fire extinguisher from SafeCraft.  Tri-bar headlamps from Cobra Accessories  I have also installed the Cobra Valley Sway Bars and ball joints which I highly recommend for the SPF cars. |

I'd have to start a separate thread if I wanted to include pics. That is what happens when you keep one of these things for 10+ years.
Underneath: QA1 double-adjustable coil-overs w/400 lb springs; RT front and rear Heim-jointed sway bars; RT front ball joints; RT rear shock tower supports; Steeda rear end brace; custom driveshaft safety loop; McLeod scattershield.
Engine bay: billet clutch reservoir; spun aluminum brake vacuum canister; Canton oil thermostat; fully custom dropped air filter base; air filter/valve covers/expansion coolant tank/brake vacuum reservoir are all matching brushed aluminum; 5 lb Halon fire suppression system (bottle in trunk); 3" Classic Chambered mufflers on stock SPF collectors.
Cockpit: complete dash converted to CSX S/C replica including rear view mirror, jeweled indicator lights, wood Moto-Lita wheel and a Smiths fuel pressure gauge; correct Mustang T-handle shifter with Toploader knob; faux twin replica Rebat batteries behind the passenger seat; billet hand-held fire extinguisher next to passenger seat footwell; 5-point Deist harnesses on both sides; wind wings and sun visors marked "COBRA" with correct hardware (Fillisters); correct Leveroll seat adjustment knobs with medallions (in progress).
Exterior: complete (as much as possible) conversion to CSX S/C replica standards including side louvers painted to match body color, right-hand parking windshield wipers, an actual and completely authentic Talbot Berlin 300 Jr. side mirror, Lemans gas cap clocked 45 degrees, correct front and rear bumper jacks w/spun aluminum ferrules, "Shelby American Inc." stainless knock-off spinners; riveted headlight rings; Lucas PL700 tri-bar headlamps; real Lucas L542 rear tail lamps; real Lucas L539 front amber turn signal lamps; Goodyear "Billboards".
Geez, I've probably missed a few doo-dads but that about covers it. Any more CSX mods would be purely aesthetic and require serious surgery to the body of the car. And, yes, the car fools a lot of people and I always tell them the truth..."It's a really close replica."

Red
You should start a new thread and post pics of your mods as you have time. It would be great to get a visual of all your mods.

LOL I've noticed it on mine and couldn't figure out what it was. Never even thought about windshield washer fluid!
Thanks

I did not like the white cannister on my SPF, so I painted it black. I used some tape to leave a small part white to see te level of the fluid.

I seldon use it. BUT, it has to be there. In my country my car has to be tested every two years( sort of safety test). No washer means a no pass at this test and I would not be allowed to drive the car anymore.
