u and me are in the same boat. lol

 

i got no problem with it, if thats what you like then go for it! plus it came factory on a mustang so it cant be ricey

 

cobra r body kits r pretty sick but watch out for speed bumps with that bumber haha

 

 

If it's what you want,it truely does not matter what anyone thinks.I also like the cobra R, If it was mine I would look at different hood options,But it's YOUR car.

 

Thats exactly the way I see it. I just like to get other opinions just in case theres something I missed, and I appreciate the feedback

I like the R hood, but the funds are keeping me down for now.... I still have to get this thing painted...

I like the scoop, but Im not sure how it will look with the rest of the kit..... I can always get a hood later....

Any suggestions for hood options?

Daniel

 

Cool thanks yall, any further suggestions are welcome, I appreciate it!

Daniel

 

yeah unless you want it to look exactly like a cobra R i would go with a different hood.....sorry im just not much on the cobra r hood even though its a crazy badass car

 

I am not completely crazy about teh R hood either, I like it, but not enough to buy it over the stock one...not yet anyway.

Ill be on the lookout for it, I just ordered the ft bumper and the spoiler earlier today, so when I get all the parts I need Ill have them all painted....

Im going to keep the wheels I got, I like them just fine. Eventually I want to build the motor, but I got to pay for this thing first...lol

I got enough to get this all painted professionally and make sure it looks right.

Im usually Go before Show, but this time I'm bass ackwards. There aint a thing wrong with the GO I got right now. :3gears

 

ebay or craiglist for a hood and you do always go without the wing to get the hood. i think it looks go with and without the wing

 

I like the bodykit and stuff also, the front bumper is sick, but it just looks like it sits WAAAAAY too low, definately watch out for speedbumps dude

 

Roger that, I only have 1 place where I got to worry too much about SB, so I think Ill be OK...

Check the pic... I think I found the hood I want....

Its a COBRA R SVO hood, I like the scoop.....

EDIT: I found the 99-04 version

I think that one is for the 94 to 98 Model year but they make them for 99 - 04 also.

That hood would look good with the kit, it'd be sexy

 

i hope you didnt get the fiberglass bumper. cuz that would be a pain.

 

Why is that? I got the FLEX bumper, supposed to be better than fiberglass...

 

i would leave off any bages and have a power adder. Nothing wrong there IMO.

Rights that what I figured, too.

 

Got the hood, I think itll set the look I want off right. Now all I go to do is wait, and get it all painted when it gets here.

I am not a big fan of the rear wing, even on the cobra r but thats just my opinion.

 

yea u will never have your "dream car" with out 55K, but you can make ur car look really nice, and come close... i guess


and dont worry my dream car is a ferrari 360 spider... and i cant even make my car look like it

 

...and dont worry my dream car is a ferrari 360 spider... and i cant even make my car look like it

I love a Ferrari 360, too.

yeah Im lucky I can do what I'm doing, cuz I can basically build this car to BE a COBRA R. I have all the specs and it wont be that bad alittle at a time.

After I get the look, Im planning out all the engine mods...I dont want a straight up race car, I want a Street car so the stock drivetrain is working out VERY well for me.

I programmed it with a Hypertech Max Energy tuner, and it got even better, the 3:73s are nice so I can cruise in 5th even at city speeds (down to 30 mph) and get the mileage I need. (or better than my Dodge Ram anyway, which gets 16 at best)

I did a half-assed calculation and I got around 25-27 average MPG on a trip from Huntsville, AL to Chattanooga, TN and back, so Im VERY HAPPY.

Like I said Im extatic(sp?) that I got a GT anyway, the COBRA R stuff is all a perk

Daniel

 

Got some of the parts today....

The Stock headlight assy, the Steeda Trax, and the Foglights...they are the plastic ones, but I will be replacing them when I do the R FT Bumper so they dont need to be the good ones.

Pic attached

Daniel

 

Im gonna try it without the rear wing for now, and see how it looks, with that hood and FT bumper, I think itll look pretty sweet without a spoiler...

Daniel

 

Where did you get the headlights?

 

Got them at:

CJ Pony Parts - Ford Mustang Parts

EDIT: I dont see them on there today when I looked again, but they were 149.00 for the pair.... Thats the first place I look for mustang parts, but sometimes there are better deals or something they dont stock... not often, but sometimes.

what was wrong with the headlights you had?

The old ones are faded and have white haze all over them, they look like crap. You can see it in my signature block. Same thing that happens to alot of the AERO style Halogen headlight assemblies...Especially Fords.

Heres the other thread for it:

i shall have me a cobra r one day

 

Eventually, so will I

Daniel

 

Are the ones you bought regular style headlights?

 

Yeah they are the stock tinted ones. NOT the clear ones... the clear ones look silly and take away from the "mean" look of the car... IMO (? In My Opinion ?)

Daniel

 

Got the SportlineSprings and the Grille delete kit today....

Waiting on the Ft Bumper, the hood, and the Spoiler.

Then it all goes to paint and then all gets installed

Pic attached

Daniel

 

Got the Spoiler today, No pics yet... The Ft bumper is getting shipped really soon I talked to them today.

Waiting on the hood.

Daniel

 

Still waiting on the Ft bumper and the Hood......:rockon

Daniel

 

I got the ft bumper today, but it looks to be fiberglass.... so I may have an issue or two, since it was advertised as Urethane....

Urethane would not have the fiber strings on the inside of it like Fiberglass would it? it would also be a bit more flexible than what I got.... Ill post up pics tonight when I get home. It Looks great so i may decise to keep it and just be careful with it/

Daniel

 

fiberglass is also considerably cheaper, so before you keep it make sure you take a look at the prices
