HI guys i just recently registered here after being a long time 5.0 fox owner. This is my new aquired 97 gt. I have already been busy getting it to my liking as it had the horrible saddle interior. the tribars are not staying. they are just something to drive on until i get my black Saleen's in

It has a few like shocks and struts, cold air intake, h pipe, flowmasters, 3.73's, steeda triax, and few others. With the car I got a bunch of parts. I have a complete PI swap kit with used heads and cams but new intake and head swap kit. Also have a frpp 70mm tb and a granetelli shark plenum. 24lb injectors meter to match and a 255 lph pump.I plan on installing everything but heads right now and see where it gets me.

****, a lot of hate for the tan interior. I really like mine but that is because its black/saddle. :) Nice 97 GT. Are you going to put some new fog lights on there, that would bug me, and maybe a stealth pony to match your future black saleens!

I've got black/saddle as well. But on topic, your car is sweet man! Very nice. I liked the R's on there over the tri-bars! Black staggered saleens will look nice though!

I just got my 281 spoiler from stage3motorsports.com. Great company with a genuine saleen product. Fast shipping too!

yeah, some people love it or hate it. People like mine because the 96 interior's different from the 97/98's. It's not all peanut butter looking, upper half of the door is black to match the dash, lower half is saddle which is very good contrast. Seems like someone took your original door panels off, and swapped them. Yeah, basically like a matted black pony in the grill.

Lookin' pretty good so far, definitely put the pony back in the grill and some smoked or black beauty headlights would really compliment the black wheels you're getting.

ya i like that black pony emblem, definitely like that idea. My plans are to get some smoked headlights. I love the ones i saw on Steve oh's car here in this sections but i don't know where to find them. ill have to link his pic here and see if any of you have seen them. I have big plans for the car but it wont be until summer time as my son is due wednesday. Im just happy it is running great and hasn't had any issues so far. I was extremely worried i screwed up by trading off my built 88 for this car. but it has been great so far and will be nice having a stang with heat, ac and NO RUST!

yeah those lights do look good, just note that you cannot buy them like that, those are customized with paint and a smoked lens.

On the wing...I got a S281 wing from Stage3motorsports.com
It was nice but on the new stang I have I got a Kaenen S281 wing, IMO they look waaaay better and the fitment is so much cleaner. It has all four bolts instead of just the two so it sits a hell of a lot more flush!
Just my .02
