I have the springs and they are ready for install.
I have an o/r x-pipe & new boss headunit out for delivery.
I'm ordering the wheels & tires tomorrow.

Not sure when i'm getting the windows tinted. I'm also getting a s281 wing and cold air intake for christmas as well as new tips possibly.

I think it looks good, but in the end it's your car and you're the one seeing it everyday. So really you should ask yourself this question :]

I love the Machined Cobra's Get the 18" Machined trust me you won't regret it. If you go 17" you will always want the 18's. If i could sell my Y2k's i am going 18" Machined

Looks good. Would look nice with the s281 wing like you said. Got a few winter mods for myself this winter as well =)!

OMG stock antenna is on its way to the moon
But the rendering looks good, what tips do you plan on getting? Only thing wrong with stock tips is the diameter

I like it. Paint the calipers while you're at it. It would look even better. Get something extra going on with the wheels, ya know.

I say go for it man that rendering looks awesome. Definitely get the S281 spoiler as well. I like those wheels a lot. You don't seem to see them all that often, at least not as much as FR500's, Bullitt's, Cobra R's, Saleens, ect....

I'm not going to find a deal like the 17"s though. ($490 for all 4). I have the money to get the 17s finally so im going to stick with them.
Getting 18s means 4 new tires as opposed to only replacing my worn out ones.

looks good! you chopped the antenna too.
I got a shorty antenna 3 days ago, but i took the picture like 5 days ago so it already does have that lol

like i said, i already have a short antenna now.
&i found some 3.75" tips on amazon for $24 each. Read the reviews and nothing but good things about them.

My calipers are already painted. I guess its really hard to tell in the original picture.
The massive split spokes block off most of their beauty which is another reason im changing my wheels.

I agree. Its hard to resist the urge of getting fr500's however since they look so damn sexy on your car & we basically have the exact same car. :)

You can get machined 03 cobras for a good price, I think 18s are for sure the way to go though!


The 18's are $775 Shipped from AFS 18x9 18x10.

maybe in the future when i actually get a job i might go bigger.
but i personally dont see anything wrong with 17's.

as long as i get my car lowered, the 17's will look better then what i have now.

Looks good man...go for it, but I agree...18" machined and never look back. I had them on my old vert...one of my favorite wheels hands down. They are expensive but worth it.

Also...get some darker headlights.

i considered that a while back. i figured however, since i'm getting brighter wheels as opposed to dark ones, i should get bright clear corners.
later i may switch to some gunmetal saleens, and THEN i might get smoked heads.
