So what you're sayin is it's a GT/Roush/Cobra? I would at least take the Cobra badges off (unless there's a Cobra motor inside) and place the GT badges on.

I'd definitely ditch the Cobra emblems, but Roush made cars that were just appearance/suspension packages, so I don't see any reason to remove those if you like the look.

just say it's a Froush, unless of course there is a Roush charger under the hood. Which in truth I'd tell them it's a Roush.
Come to think of it after reading the list of mods, it could be a Stage II Roush.





get some of these wheels and fender badges and your IN!!

NO! I don't believe Roush ever modded Cobra's, Saleen did.

Don't say its a cobra if its not, thats gay. Take off the cobra badges if its not a cobra.

Either leave them off or put GT back on.

IIRC Roush Stage I was basically minor engine stuff (cold air) cosmetics (spoilers, side skirts, wing ,front fascia)

Stage II got upgraded suspension and brakes.

Stage III has all of the above plus the S/C engine

No, because you're missing what makes a Cobra a Cobra.

I doubt it, just heat the badges up a little and peel off. If they are stubborn get some dental floss and slide behind it to loosen the adhesive. Remove any residue with alcohol, wipe clean and wax should be good as new.

Also don't say your car's a turbocharged fox while it isn't even close to being ^^^


I'd ditch the cobra emblems right away and swap to the rousch emblems and consider it a stage two for people that ask since it basically is.
