Some New Pics of my '97

Hellion94 · Mar 20, 2009

Got bored this morning and the car was clean, and the light was right, so I took a couple of pics and then messed with them some. Let me know what you think:

Yeah I haven't been around here as much.

I think our cars look pretty similar now (stance, wheel design, etc...), kind of interesting.

that's prolly why I like it so much... any plans or is it good for now?

Haha, it's never good enough, hahaha.

I've got a bunch of things that I'd like to do, but none are really solid yet, and I'm waiting on money to be plentiful enough that I will be able to do stuff. I HAVE to do something to the exterior soon, or I'm going to go crazy. It needs something. This is what I would like to do:

98 Cobra hood
Complete re-spray
remove wing
new headlights (black beauty's or smoked)
Tailpipes
PI intake (need to get)
PI cams (have already)
Throttle body and plenum
3.73's

I think at that point I'll be content for a while

Edit: Something like this, but with a Cobra hood and better paint. Eventually I'd like to get some different wheels, something nice and a little different than replicas.

I've got a bunch of interior stuff that I'd like to do as well. The car REALLY needs some seats, and I plan on going with a 2-tone scheme.

Looking forward to the upgrades/changes .. sound good. Chop looks good too!!!
Great pics as always!!!

thorco3 · Mar 23, 2009

sounds good, can't believe you need a repaint from the pics... looks mint. I have a wingless decklid in primer, just need to paint it. I'm really considering going back to my stock hood as well. I love the cobra r, but I could use the money... and I like the stock hood too.

I'm the same way about wheels, I've got an awesome set of wheels but there are times when I think about putting them up for sale/trade... I think the fr's look right at home on there.

Not yet, probably within the next day or two I would imagine. Thanks for the compliment Jeff! You need to make a trip out to somewhere where I can take some pics of your car.

Thorco - I know what you mean. I loved the FR's when I got them on there, but I just want something more "exotic" I guess. I don't know. Just something with more flair that's less common I guess. I LOVE machined finishes as well.

As far as the paint is concerned, there are a bunch of issues. I chopped out some small flakes and chips in the front, but the driver's side fender has a big spot where the clear has come off, and the rear bumper has clear missing also, plus spider cracks. The whole thing could just use a nice new, shiny coat.
