body mods stress me right out....so I waited a while (7 years..lol) before I had the stones to take the plunge

it's a Cervini 95 Cobra R

I like it....it's subtle but kinda makes the car look meaner on the top side

FWIW...Zaino fans...the 7 year old paint on the top of my fenders matched the newly painted hood perfectly......yeah...the car has squat for mileage (18,000 kms)....but I was impressed

for the underside of the lid.....it was about being totally over the top.....but trying to be real subtle about it

all logos/markings were sanded and smoothed....and finished in the same Ford black as the top side......the thinking was that the finsh would act like a mirror and reflect the nice shiny engine bay

I think it worked

the twist was adding some artwork....something appropriate....subtle, but again...right over the top......so I got my airbrush guys to ghost in a black pony into the black hood.....it's the exact profile of the Mustang logo....but more anatomically correct (this one has a right rear lower leg)......and the goal was to make it look as real as possible....with all the muscles flexing

here's the image

with the hood up on the car....the pony disappears depending on the light, and the angle you're looking from.....which was the exact result I was hoping for

it sure does make for some awesome looking shots with the motor reflecting and the pony peeking through it all

I'm very pleased with it

Oh my gosh :eek: this is one of the sickest cars i have seen :drool: How much did they charge you to paint the hood?

thanks

it was $3k (in our Canadian play money) all in......from Cervini's white gelcoat to the finished deal

from what I researched....it would have been about $1200 (up here) for just black top and bottom.....so the image cost a few bucks....
 
OOMMMMGGG FREAKINGGGGGGG SWEET! The last pic can mean so many words...the running pony with the hidden Power of KB! wow wow!!!!

Anyways i think you need one more exterior mod! Mach 1 Grille Delete w/ the pony still on!
 
thanks folks

here's the side shot

springs are Steeda sport springs.....very happy with them

the grill delete never warmed up to me......dunno.....I like the honeycomb and the corral

I like the car to looking like a stock GT...but "tweaked" and mint....and then when you pop the hood and trunk all hell breaks loose
