Styling ideas for my yellow 95!!!

[EPIK]

Wassup everyone. I just purchased my Canary Yellow 95 GT last tuesday. Although I would consider it to be in excellent condition for a 12 year car, it does neded a few updates. First & foremost I am lowering it soon on H&R ss's, bilstein's, & MM c/c plates. Then after that I am looking to replace the yellowed stock headlights ( which I always hated anyway), for some Cobra ones. I always liked the Cobra headlamps & have installed theses as my first mod on my previos 2 SN95's, but then I saw these smoked headlamp/sidemarker/foglight kits on ebay that look kinda nice, but im unsure. What do u guys think???

I do plan on getting some black wheels with a polished lip eventually, & I think the smoked headlamps would look pretty sweet with the black wheels, black bumper inserts, & maybe some black bezeled tailamps.... Im sorry to say that I prefer the 96-98 tailamps better than the 94-95.

BTW. have u guys seen the new deep dish 03 Cobra wheels that are coming out soon, I am looking into those wheels since I already have FR500's on my mach, & bullits are too common now....Anyway, let me know what u guys think....thanks

Here is my car sittin 4x4, but not 4 long!!!

I like the cobra front bumper, although a little played out with 94-98s.

I love smoked headlights so yess go with those and any black wheel will look sick on a yellow car!

Lowering is 1st, just waiting on my struts to arrive. I already have the springs & CC plates, but i like to do things right the 1st time. shorty antenna later on. I would love to get the Cobra front and a Saleen S281 wing. Silver FR500's would be nice but I already have those on my Mach 1. Bullits are nice but are played out to me. i really want those deep dish 03 Cobras coming out soon.... & i wiil have 295's at the minimum in the rear. Im not a noob if thats what u guys think, this is my 4th stang....

94-98 cobra front fascia is the chit!!! I love the 96-98 hood too, but I dont have a Cobra & that hood with the dual snorkels screams Cobra!!! The 95 cobra R hood would be sweet though....

I think it's nice the way it is. The only thing I'd do is get black bullets wheels.

Thanks!!!! I like Bullits, but they are too common & look better on the 99-04's to me. Plus I would consider leaving the Cobra R's on but I would need wheels spacers in the back & lowering is a must...

ok great. how you got that impression i have no clue. i was just listing chit real quick

 

[nmcgrawj]

Smoked lights, black wheels...great start. I'd throw in a cobra r hood and maybe a s281 spoiler and call it a day.

Oh and tint the windows, doesnt matter how dark, but it'll go well with the lights and wheels.

Where did you hear about the deep dish 03 cobras? That'd be an......interesting....wheel design.

Here is a pic of them right here...When i called them today, they said they werent available until late September, but they have them already advertised on the site for $795 a set for 17x9 & 10.5 with 275's & 315's???

i kinda like em, & they are different than whats out there currently....Would definately look sick on a yellow car imo!!!

[grey5.0beast]

hands down, get those...

 

[nmcgrawj]

I figured....looks just like(if not the EXACT SAME) as the ZR1 wheels for f-body's and vettes except drilled for our lug pattern......

And i'll pass.

The LEAST they coulda did was re-do the ZR1's center section so that its the same as the 03 cobra lug nut center section

 

[EPIK]

I dunno!!! I like them

Look like Cobra wheels to me, & if not they still look good!!!

Maybe I'm weird, but I don't "get" the whole thing of making a GT into a Cobra clone. If you reeeeeeally want a Cobra, save those bucks and just buy a Cobra. After all, no matter how nice you do it up, a fake snake is always still going to be a fake snake - sorta like false advertising, and it might result in problems later on if you sell the car to someone that's misled into thinking they bought a genuine Cobra (even if you don't present it as such). A clean, beefed-up GT is every bit as nice as a Cobra, anyway - two different avenues of getting to the same result (a fast, nice-looking 'Stang).

Personally, I'd just leave the body alone and focus on the drivetrain/suspension - *MAYBE* a different spoiler like a ducktail type, or just delete the stocker and leave it clean. Lower it and throw on some DD rims as suggested above, button up the rear end with some control arms/torque boxes, then dig into the motor/driveline with a few bolt-ons.

Lower it...check

94-98 Cobra front bumper
95 Cobra R style hood
Tinted windows
17x9/17x10.5 Anthracite Bullitts or similar (NO chrome)

Done. Finito. El Fin.

EDIT: Those black 03 DD replicas do look hawt...

As long as he doesnt put cobra badging on it, it will always be a GT, just with the better looking cobra bumper cover. The 95 R hood is way better looking than the 96-98 Cobra nostril hood. I wanted to get rid of my nostril hood on my 97.
