So I am finally going to throw together a little info on the ride....Purchased 10/22/2008 #1915 of 4005, Completely stock when purchased other then Pro-M 83mm MAF, Flowmaster 40's, "hideous" taillights, aftermarket headlights, billet accents throughout the car (hvac and headlight knobs, door locks, e-brake handle, etc.) and tinted windows.

And for the Upgrades
Overall my objective was/is to make the car as clean and pristine as possible, yet be one hell of a car to drive. Lets start with wheels and tires. Currently rolling on FR500 wheels, 17x9 and 17x10.5 wrapped with Hankook 275's and Vredstein 315's. Next a total overhaul of the interior was needed, so I gutted the inside. The seats were dry and tearing. The carpet was beyond dirty. Plus I needed to get rid of those billet pieces. While everything was out, I cleaned every possible piece I could. I replaced the carpet with a brand new mold from LMR. Removed all the billet pieces and replaced with stock pieces. Through in a Hurst short throw and replaced the worn out front seats with a set from a 2004 Cobra. Because I have the saddle interior, it was difficult to find the seats I wanted. Yes, they are Black and tan. Cobra originals and from what I understand only come in 04's that are white and CV. The inside is now completely spotless and looks like a brand new car. Next the taillights and headlights needed a change. Those ugly chrome lights had to go. I still had a set of factory 95 lights from my old GT, they were a bit faded but that didnt matter. They were treated to a fresh coat of black and tinted at the same time. Same with the front lights. They were removed to make room for a set of smoked lights. Not much else has been done yet. I have accumulated quite a few parts, just not enough time to get the work done. Those parts include MSD ignition, Borla side exhaust, lowering springs, Aeromotive fuel rails and SCT tuner chip. I almost forgot to mention the turbo kit. LOL Well I lost my train of thought so here are pics. Enjoy.

Took the car out for a little sunday drive and landed at a small drive-in. Total nostalgic feel.....thought I would take a few pics while I was there.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, with this being a 95, it didnt come with the "cobra" specific rear bumber and hood. Those are from a 96-98. They were also on the car when I bought it.

Car looks sick! I love how those 04 Cobra seats tie in with the saddle interior. Which Hurst shifter is that exactly and what are your opinions on it?

Thanks you, those seats were ridiculously hard to find. Took a good 8-12 months before I could find a set for sale. The shifter is the Billet/Plus. I like it alot. Has a rear-sweep design that brings the shift knob back, kinda like an older muscle car. A shorter throw then the stock shifter, but not too ricey.

car looks awesome man! big improvement! need some lowering springs now!
LOL funny that you mention that, I have a set of springs in the garage. Just been slacking on getting out there to swap them in. They will give it a 2" drop all the way around.

Thanks, I was hoping they would be the one thing to set it off.
