    Nice looking car



    Other than the Cobra emblems and rear spoiler/bumper, your car isn't really a clone at all. It's still missing the cobra-specific taillights, side skirts and front bumper spats. Nobody is really gonna mistake it for a cobra. Not that it's a bad thing, it still looks hot, but i wouldn't call it a clone

    maybe there was a control module under the radio????


    Or most likely he meant power mirrors....that would need moved, or deleted?
