make it pitch black, and powdercoat them rims, black tail lights and front black/clear lights, and all black interior... ooh yeah

Bill · November 5th, 2005, 04:15 AM

thats thing is hot. i love that hood.

AtlanticBlue99 · November 5th, 2005, 11:12 AM

that front end nods thanks to the fox body, the body lines are sharp and clean, and the power is just insane for a factory produced car. going into production? that is the 04 show i guess with the old body style

DILO2001GT · November 5th, 2005, 01:46 PM

is that deep dish rims in the back? hmm that would be a nice numbers for the new mach 1. they should use that engine for the new Mach's.

ckthecerealkiller · November 5th, 2005, 02:24 PM

I was never one for the fr500 rims, or that bumper.

But that is very nice. I like the numbers! That is what usually matters most to me.

It looks a little bare on the back without at least a factory wing or something though.....

DC97Cobra · November 5th, 2005, 05:12 PM

I thought it was a Honda Civic when I looked at the front end.

sAJ1420 · November 5th, 2005, 05:40 PM

somethins not right wit the body... and its not the hood i think its the rear end lik someone said. other than that. hotttt

Cricket · November 5th, 2005, 08:20 PM

Needs more of an aggressive look in my opinion. Great numbers, but the body could be nicer. Too plain for my taste. A stock body is by no comparison than that body style in my opinion.

lemon · November 5th, 2005, 08:22 PM

saj, you are probably looking for the triple deck 15 foot ricer wing

and the sema pictures are from nov 2 1999 :wink

Bossman351 · November 5th, 2005, 09:53 PM

I like the way the hood deletes the grille. I wonder if it causes any cooling issues?

AtlanticBlue99 · November 5th, 2005, 10:31 PM

it seems like it might obstruct airflow with the hood. what i dont get is it is a "heat extractor" v6 hood from 01-04, but the front end is closed up from where heat should go in...

styling is plain, but fast- kind of like luxury ownage (cadillac cts- northstar v8)

It looks like they opened up the bottom valance enough that it shouldn't be much of a problem.

99mustang232 · November 8th, 2005, 10:35 AM
