I don't know why I had never seen it before now, but something about that bottom half being white, it just gets me all excited! lol.

Bought some export flares! :grin: Hopefully will be getting some lowering springs before the start of summer to make them really look good.



Also started working on polishing my intake, hopefully I'll have it finished by next weekend so I can put it on.

Finally finished with the sanding and painting, I think it turned out pretty good. It's almost impossible to get the pitting out that was covered by the factory coating. I'll probably work on polishing it a little more to really make it shine.

That white interior is gorgeous! Great job giving her some life again. Im diggin' this build. The 99/01 wheels look great on their, the headlights were a good call, and the new 5.0 badge + teal intake looks great! The little things.

I had to look for a few pictures of those flares to see what they look like. Never personally seen them before. From what I seen they should look sharp. Nice choice on the wheels also though I'm partial as I recently grabbed a set and really like the look of them.

Subscribed for updates! Nice car!

Thanks so much for the compliments guys! I really appreciate it. There's a lot more to come with this car, but it's going to take quite some time...

Just a minor LED headlight conversion, oh and some new wheels.

Comparing the LEDs with the former yellow color of the fogs.


Some 03 cobra wheels, nice and wide.

Got the Termi wheels mounted and on the car! Really liking this chrome versus the polished look of my previous 99/01 cobra wheels. Now, about closing up that wheel gap...

This car needs more low

Looks sick though, are you sticking with the gt bumper or do you plan on going with like a cobra one or maybe a boss splitter or roush splitter?

Haha trust me, I know it needs more low. As of now, I plan on sticking with the GT bumper. Although, I've never heard of the boss or roush splitter. Have any pics handy?

the boss shinoda spoiler for the gt/v6 bumper is pretty cool. the roush one will be harder to find since im pretty sure they dont make it anymore and its also not the most attractive, but looks cool on the gt/v6 bumper. Or you know... you could just go full saleen. Also id vouch for ford racing c springs. Not too expensive and they do give a good look and stance. Ive had those springs on all 3 of my sn95s: my step dads 98 svo supercharged gt vert with coils cut(very stiff but still good, very low); my 98 gt without isos; and currently my 97 with isos which i will in time cut to lower more and firm up the front since its a tad too bouncy. Since you have a push rod i think it will be better for your front in comparison to mine since im pretty sure the mod motor is way heavier than a push rod.

you can pick these up from CJP, LMR, AM, and my sponser Sinister Mustang. i get all parts from him if not from the companies themselves (i.e. Ford, Steeda, etc.)

my 97 when i was running the front without isos and 18s (which i honestly loved how low the front was but it cut up my splash shields too much and is exposing wires on the driver side, also you can see the dent in my car pretty well in this pic -.- ...)

Ahhh okay. I like the shinoda one quite a bit, but I'm not sure how it would look on my car. I'll have to look into it more though, thank you for the pictures and the spring suggestions!

This sounds kinda vague. How did he kill them for 1, and why is it considered snake oil for 2?

1.he installed a turbo kit in a older couple 08 gt that i knew, dont remember all the details but the couple had to replace the engine and it all fell on him, even proven in court and he didnt pay, they had to pay another shop to fix it all since he had no money. this is not the only time... 2 he sold me headlights 70mm throttle body and a bullett grill, after a year of waiting i got no grill, used headlights and a stock gt throttle body he said all this was new..... 3 you kinda sounded as if i was making something up... everyone in northwest Florida knows not to go to him, he has no shop now since the lawsuit and he has no business license
