whats the difference between the replicas and real ones? ive never seen real ones

The diifference is the quality workmanship of the steel used to make the wheel.
Also there is difference in the quality of the chrome used on the wheel.
Knockoff or replica chrome wheels use a lower quality chrome and after time
the chrome can actually crack,pit,or the chrome finish can dull over time.
Look at the Ford Racing website you will see the FRPP 18X9 chrome FR500 wheels.
If you look around I'm sure you can fined a reputable vendor to purchase them from.
I'd get the Ford Racing version of the FR500 wheel they are much better quality
and better looking in my opinion.

were back on that again! :sleepy1:

Detail Detail detail pay attention to every detail ..start in the enginrbay. have fun



YES you need to get this anal lololol :BangHead:

Where did those billet looking hose clamp covers or simply billet clamps on all the hoses come from? Any idea?

 

[95opal]

NXcoupe they are real hose looks but I dont think they are avaiable anymore. A company called python was making them, Not cheap either I think I have about $600 wrapped up in just clamps loll

also depends on the shows you go to. If your going to general shows with no classes it will be hard to win. If your going to regimented class shows where the classes are smaller and you are paired with the same type of cars you have to do something different to set you apart from them.

 

[Orange Stang]

we cant compete with these s197's. judges are reminising and unless you have something like opal, your gonna lose. I saw it first hand and i hate it.


the class was 94- 2011. yea, whats gonna win? Its houlda been 94-04 then 05+


imma gonna go be pissed off somewhere else, lol

 

[Gregor185]

well guys im either buyin chrome foose nitrous wheels or chrome fr500s. both about the same price so well see what i decide by the end of the week

 

[Gregor185]

has anyone seen foose nitrous wheels on an sn95? i cant find pics anywhere!!

 

[USMCAU311]

Personally, I don't think Foose wheels look right on sn95's. I may even go as far to say they're fugly on sn95's....but that's just my opinion.

03 cobra's look sick on red sn95s. Definitely paint that hood.

 

[Gregor185]

not too sure if i wanna paint it yet...if i do any kind of painting on it ill have the sides done

 

[Marvin97]

Is your hood black or carbon fiber? Paint it. Even if it is carbon fiber, to most judges I think its going to look like its not finished. Unless the car is 2 toned, ive never seen a car win a trophy with mismatched colored body parts. Maybe a ratrod...

if you're wanting to place well, your engine needs more presence.
a power adder and tastefully polished pieces will score points.

CAI and a strut bar just screams stock motor.
it's not cheap, but that's what they're looking for.
your exterior looks great IMO.

thanks dalamar. i do have plans this coming winter to do a pi headswap and chrome bbk valve covers. also gonna clean and paint just about every part possible while apart. what do you think?

 

[Dalamar]

I wouldn't paint too much, and would definatley get a polished or chromed alternator housing. you can swap out the guts or get yoru stock housing coated if you dont want to buy a new one.
go easy on painted parts. just make sure it looks clean, and I"d change the strut bar to red or black.
