Re: My 97 GT Build *PAINTED!*

I like it, not so bad. Really shines.

I personally dont like people telling me what they dislike about the way i do my cars. But since everyone else is...haha.

I hate halos and clear tails. Not a fan of the hood either. Dont like the rims. But i mean overall it flows. Good job and it looks like you put alot of work into it. Good job.

heh, I have noticed I've gotten alot of that on this board... :dunno:



anyways... Money is slow now since I had an accident @ work, knocked in the head with an aluminum crank, 12 stitches to the forehead. oh yeah. O0

But the next thing I believe I'll tackle is my stereo install and billet interior. I'd also sorta like to reupholster the seats but I ran across theses on eBay: leather seat covers
anyone ever heard of or seen theses?

Re: My 97 GT Build *PAINTED!*

very questionable. I personally would say no. When i look at the pictures and i look at my leather seats ( which i picked up for 100.00 bucks from a wrecked pony. ) I notice alot of fitment problems. They dont look like the fit very tight, alot of slack in the leather.

If you get those faux seat covers.. be sure to take tons of photos. I would like to have them for extra protection from my original leather.. but it might just damage them instead?

Not sure what I'll do yet, I may just get something from katskins... but if I do go with these I'll be sure to upload pics

Re: My 97 GT Build *PAINTED!*

I was totally not expecting to win. There was alot of nice older cars there. I had actually just sat down in the shade when my name was called. It was a good day for mustangs... besides me I know of two others who got top 25 and a true 93 Cobra R got best ford. ^-^


I ordered a set of 13" brakes from stang94X of which I am really anticipating.

Probably Billit Int will be the next step.

looking good.
Everyone has their own taste. I like the roush kit, others don't.
The wheels really set it off, and I like the offset on the rear's

BTW, I have the roush rear cover if you ever want to change the rear.
I like the GT side badges.
Tails - meh, not a big fan. your car's so clean looking, I think the red lenses with a red bessel and your red paint would look nice. super clean- that's just my opinion.

Spoiler would set off the back a bit - which one are you looking at?

as far as general comments go,
Yes, he did ask for opinions, BUT, let's not start sounding like OTHER forums we know of, where the tone often swings to a negative, "i dont like this" type thread.

you choose to comment about something you don't like - I'm sure you can think of something nice to say as well.
SN95forums is a happy place.

I'm looking at one of these:

Roush


9225_pd265904full.jpg

Cobra R



I'm thinking in the future I may change the front bumper and hood over to the cobra R but that will be awhile down the road... I'm leaning more toward the Roush right now. I found a deal on a reupholtery kit for $750 but as tight as my money has gotten I'm not seeing that happening right away.

I installed my 13" Brakes! I've no pics right now, but they look hott! I'll try and get some this weekend since there is another show in town. Who knows... maybe another top 25 for Chet??? :naughty:

Let me know before you get rid of your rear bumper, I might be interested in it later... O0

I think an S281 wing would bring out your hood even more. The stock wing is a little too tall IMO. Anything bigger than it is going to detract from the front of the car. You might pull it off if the car were black but, not with laser red.
