Let me know what you think about them. The pictures arent great but you can get the idea. American Racing Rebels -- 18x7.5 and 18x9s -- BFG KDW 225/40s and 255/40s.

Lookd good

any issues with rubbing the fronts?

looks good. I can figure out if I like the hood or not. Thats a mopar style hood.

Stock hood would look sick.

looks like the SVO/Cobra R hoods without the cowl part... if it didnt raise any from the hood besides the scoop part, i think it'd look cool... but we're not talking about the hood, for the wheels... i like the chrome with the color of the car but those spokes, i dont know, just dont do it for me. it's definately not the same ole' cobra's but meh.

Mopar hood? If anything that's a Z28 hood. The SVOs did use a similar one but the Z28 beat it to the punch by about 10 years.

It is a mopar hood! Think 1970 AAR Cuda. I had it built for a reason. I really like it and most everybody that see it in person do too. Its an aquired taste I guess. As for the wheels there are no rubbing issues at all. I think i am going to coilover it so it can be lower! Im tired of the Drag Launch suspension too

Here a different view for those who are questioning the hood.

I like it because it is unique and nobody else has one. That "Dare to be Different" thing i guess.

I think the wheels look great but the fronts look as they sit in a little far. Is that the pics or just me?? The hood is friggin bad azz

They do set in a little bit but i did that purposely so I could lower it some more. Wanting that pro touring effect! I like the "tucked" look.

Plymouth had it before all of them.

Oooh yeah you're right...i forgot all about that hood. Good call

We pulled a mold directly off of a AAR hood actually. Then cut it in pieces and widened it and made it slightly taller. Then a new mold was made and it was molded onto the mustang hood. Then once again another mold was pulled. It was alot of tedious work but i think it was worth it. Coming from a city with a Chrysler plant in it and a family of mopar fans i had to do something to redeem myself for building a Mustang!

Yeah i got nothing against old Mopars....i have a closet love affair with old Challengers. Not sure why that hood slipped my mind though but to be honest i think the big square scoops kinda look cooler on those cars.

Love the wheels, I have been looking at those for my 93 hatch. Where did you get them from? Wheels and tire package or seperate orders? Thanks

 

[iwashmycar]

i see what your sayin about tuckin them more, but something just doesnt sit well with me....maybe its the tires looking too small up there....rears are puuuuurfect

 

[leroy93lx]

When its all said and done the fronts will be out where they need to be. I want to get the 13" brakes on and get the stance where i want it and check all my clearances first. I considered changing from 95 spindles to 96 up but i dont think i have the extra room. I will get it asap though and take better pics! Thanks everybody for their honest opinions and complements

 

[fiveohlxhatch]

I'm not usually a fan of aftermarket wheels but those really work for me on that car!

 

[foxmustangman]

Nice wheels. I LOVE THAT RED!
