Body Kit thoughts for the 96??

FUK_N_JUNK · Nov 25, 2007

Ok, since the dealer was trying to rape me on my trade-in, I have decided to keep the 96 and just make it look sexy as hell....

Here's my thoughts on the bidy kit..

Xenon306 front bumper and side skirts (looks like the stock cobra but just a tad different)

Stalker Read bumper ( I love the exhaust location)

Saleen S281 Wing

I already got a stock cobra hood for it, and 18" deep dish bulletts already for her, along with a Eibach Pro Kit and lets not forget the Marauder motor :dancing6:

Here's the pics of the pieces above... what do ya think?

Good Plan - I like custom! and I've looked at ALL the body kits/parts for the mustangs. and not many actually go with the body style.
those parts are pretty good. IMO it needs to be clean looking so it doesn't distract from the stock body curves!

and be ready to spend more money on body and paint!

That front bumper doesn't actually look too bad. I do like the Stalker rear too.

FUK_N_JUNK · Nov 25, 2007

Yeah, it should flow nicely with the rest of the body lines. The front bumper uses stock Cobra fogs as well. The whole kit should be about $750, then add another $500 to have it painted, but IMHO appearence is everything (espically when it comes to women :rockyou: ) :hammer:

^^That looks pretty good.

FUK_N_JUNK · Nov 25, 2007

I'm deffinatley going to order the rear and sides. I just picked up a Mach 1 spoiler for the front, so I will get this put on I think and see how it looks, then decide on the front bumper.

I just hate how when you look at a SN car from the side, the skirts hang so muck lower than the front and rear bumpers (mainly the front) looks like ford went with 1/2 a body kit then decided they were broke?? :hammer:

here is the set up I had on my v6, given it isnt painted put youll get the idea. same front and rear but with the stalker side skirts also, and a 99 wing.http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y281/droptopstang13/Mustang/ ill find the ones with the rear in a sec. there is a pic on my photobucket account somewhere after i hit a dear going 85mph didnt even scratch the front. that front bumper is unbreadable.

94 DropTop · Nov 25, 2007

not really good pics but theres a side view and and high back one http://3.8mustang.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169910

The back looks nothing like the pic Cervini has on their site??? The Cervini kit has actual holes in the rear cover, and not just cut-outs. Looks like the one you had was more near the bottom of the valance?? Now I'm a bit worried about this?

94 DropTop · Nov 25, 2007

the second link i posted is the cervinis the photobucket account was a black widow kit

Wish you had a better pic of the rear......

Normally I'm not into modding the exterior that much, but that actually looks pretty neat. IMO you should also throw on some HID's and 18" wheels to make that thing look hot.

Never been a fan of that front bumper.

Dalamar · Nov 25, 2007

I agree with you BIG TIME on the nose and rear stepping up visually.
Looks are a big factor,
Having just gone thorough it myself, with body kids and some custom work.
Be warned, that quailty of almost all aftermarket parts is not that great.
it will require fitment, shaving and blending to make it look good. that's $$$ in body shop labor.

Also the stalker rear is pretty low, I looked at it, and I couldn't find any decent pictures of it on a car.

Well, it has been my experience with anyhting from Cervini usually requires very little prep/modifications, but you never know. I really like the stock bumper, espically since mine is black on the bottom (Ford painted some?) maybe I just need some new tips out back instead of the usual 2.5" flows.... like a SLP cat-back of something.

94 DropTop · Nov 25, 2007

the fitament was perfect on everything on my v6. cervinis and xenon

I already got some 18" deep dish Bulletts for it, and a Pro Kit, plus the stock Cobra hood I got from the junk yard (found it in the same color even!!) so it should look sexy. I am waiting on my chin spoiler to arrive.
