Simple mods, fun mods, minor mods or updates?

The bar cannot simply be removed for this project as that area consists of an upper grille, a lower grille and the bumper that spans the open area between them. Also, the chrome surround is severely notched to hold the bumper in place. The Project 7 opening consists of a single grille (larger honeycomb) and a continuous surround, no notching. Also, a pair of custom mounts need to be fabricated to mount the parking sensor in the same relative location as the were on the bumper.

Thanks. Can't get a V8 with a manual transmission. The cost of the mod was just the price of a (group buy) VAP exhaust and some used valance pieces I got from someone changing over to a CF valance

@Unhingd. Why would you want a manual ?
I had plenty stickshift cars, but modern autoboxes are so smooth and quick - and the flippers let you change anyway - ; there is no need for it...
Only in the mountains I really prefer a manualbox, so I can only enjoy it holidays. Here we are mostly gridlocked...

Here we are not gridlocked except in the major cities. I feel much more involved and directly connected with the car and have a better sense of controlling how the power gets put to the pavement.
I find all automatics a boring driving experience and have never owned one. I understand that from most other aspects (acceleration, fuel economy, driver fatigue) they are now far superior to MTs,
but just not well suited for how I like to experience a spirited drive.

My experience with the Discovery [ holidays of 6000km...] is, that it would get annoying in cities and dense traffic .I've been 99% greatfull it was an autobox.. Not for the shifting as more for working a clutchpedal.
