Project Batmobile-94 GT vert

A drop and some new headlights would change the look of your car completely.

And you got that thing for a pretty good price. Makes me regret getting mine from the stealership.

 

[TanTop94]

Yeah Im definitely looking to get this thing dropped soon, the wheel gap is killing me. As for finding it for that price the previous owner had actually dropped the price by $2000 from $5500 the weekend I saw it on Craigslist lol! I had actually had my eyes on a higher mileage 95cobra but this thing was a great deal and has treated me well with only minor fixes and nothing major happening yet.

 

[the5.ohh]

Lookin good lol. A drop would completely change the car, I can't wait to drop mine. You wanna plastidip your whole car? Or some parts?

 

[TanTop94]

The whole car, my paint is terrible and its literally just chipping away back to the stock red it was...come to think of it Im going to figure out what exact color it was right now.

4/6/2013 Spraying and Praying

Decided that I wanted to break up some of the peanut butter on my doors and I had some water marks on my side view mirror covers, nothing a little plasti-dip couldn't help with. I used plasti-dip to give myself an idea of what it would look like if I were to actually get some permanent done.

Lookin clean

Had some rust on my ignition coil bracket, decided to respray with some engine enamel and give the mounting plate for the coil a brushed looked as the black it had on there was chipping and it had rust spots as well.

I love it man! Probably cause if I mess up or don't like it I can just peal it off:laughing5: I hope, my buddy is letting me use his lift so it should be a pretty quick install!

 

[the5.ohh]

Yeah thats whats great about it & it don't hurt anything either lol. Try and get an exhaust clip so we can hear it if you get a chance. Your cars a 5 spd or auto?

Im gonna try to do a before and after for my exhaust, 4 cats must make a hell of a difference! Its a 5speed, I should throw up pictures on how the previous owner leather wrap fell off my shift knob and I discovered I still have my stock shift knob. It looks brand new, other than the glue I had to get off...

Definately lol. These cats make these cars so damn quiet its not even funny lol. I got dumps and its still not loud, need tails again though I cant take the drone. Ahh i didn't know it was a 5 spd, figured it was cause UPR's o/r X is for manuals only I think. Thats good to know that all he did was wrap it and not change the shifter. You plan on changin the shifter or leavin it stock?

Your right man they can really kill the sound of these cars, as for your drone Id say your right getting tails that will help alot. I didn't know that about that xpipe but good thing its a 5spd then! Yeah it saved me from having to buy a shift knob, Im going to leave it stock for now and see it the new feel will grow on me. If it doesn't then Ill drop the $30+ for the 5spd version of the 03-04 cobra shift knob.

 

[the5.ohh]

Yeah I wish i could take mine off. I'd rather fix the drone for now lol. Can't wait to see more progress keep it up man

 

[TanTop94]

Will do man! Fix your drone before you take your cats off, that thing is going to be loud either way!

Damn man, my dad was the one who told me to get an o/r midpipe!

 

[the5.ohh]

Lucky sob haha. My bros got a 91 fox, no cats and dumped flow 40s.. Needless to say my car is as loud as a prius compared to his

 

[TanTop94]
