COBRA 2003 - 2004 differences/changes

[MDMustang06GT]

i've searched the forum with no luck... would someone direct me to a previous thread or list the differences/changes between the '03 & '04 Cobra, please? the only thing i've found is the chrome key hole surround vs. the black and new colors offered...

is there any reason to seek out a 2004 over an '03? i'm closing in on a purchase now... CAN'T WAIT TO JOIN THE GROUP AS AN OWNER!!

04 has:
- 2 more cats (I think)
- slightly different heads (supposedly)
- No Sonic Blue option
- Less build #s

Better computer tune = better MPG
SOme 04 had no Gas Guzzler tax

Chrome wheel option from the factory, 03 had to swap them at the dealer for a fee.

Gray inserts was available on '03's too!



as the chromed wheels were the only real "option", how did you get either the dark gray or light gray "suede" inserts. was the color of the insert based on the color of the car? also, i found that an early production 2003 "satin silver" was later changed to "silver metallic". wondering what the difference is between the silver colors... pictures anyone?

thanks for all the 411... the forum is a fantastic resource...

The statement concerning Gray Inserts is false! In 2003 & 2004 you could get one of two interior color combos. Charcoal Gray or Parchment. There was no dark or light gray. Of course the 10th anniversay models came with a different color scheme all together.

There was one other "option" one could get and that was a spoiler delete.
