I really don't like the look of clear corners and stock GT/V6 headlights so I finally got around to installing a set of OEM Cobra headlights off a 96 Cobra I use to own. Not sure if I'm going to stick with these or not. I really like the smoked cobra headlights that AM sells and those new ones LRS sell with the clear and black. I feel like I need to go with darker headlights to match the rest of the theme of the car. I also plasti dipped the horse and put on a set of "4.6" badges that I also plasti dipped. The car is pretty dirty/dusty and I really need to get a new digital camera. YES the car needs to be lowered and will be over the winter hopefully. Just trying to decide which parts to go with. Took some pics quick at work and in the garage......

Nice, I think darker headlights would definitely fit the car better.


As far as springs I'd recommend H&R SuperSports.

Looks great! I personally like the GT head lights with clear corners a lot! Looks great on a white SN95 but yeah I'd go with smoked on yours to fit the car color. I want that all white headlight look on my CW Cobra, but don't want to do GT/V6 head lights on it. Might stick clear cobra headlights but with clear corners, gotta see what that looks like though.

Ferocious,

I bought them at the All Fords Show in Carlisle PA back in June. I'm pretty sure 5.0resto.com sells them as well.....

nice truck bro. What do you think of the whole plasti-dipping? does it last? how much does it cost?

I bought a can of it at Home Depot. I think it was around $7. I haven't had it on there long and I don't drive the car all that much but it seems like it would hold up good. I tested it out on a piece of metal and plastic before I used it on the emblems and it peeled off really easy and didn't leave any residue or anything like that behind. The thicker you spray it on the easier it is to peel off. I like the way it looks once it dries. I wouldn't recommend painting a whole car with this stuff like I've seen some people do but for trim pieces and wheels it seems to work great
