My camera is absolutely terrible. I hopefully will be getting some better quality pics in a better location in the near future.

I know the car needs to be lowered. Still deciding what I want to do suspension wise and more importantly where the money is going to come from. I also have a set of stock cobra headlights I need to put on. I want to put new tail pipes on, but I thinking about swapping out the flowmaster catback that's on there so we'll see what happens

Let me know what you think.....

Thanks guys!

I'm considering going with a carbon fiber cowl hood to match the carbon fiber wing. I would probably paint the sides of the hood black and leave the cowl part carbon fiber but I'm not sure if that would look too tacky/ricey or not.......any opinions?

In front of you
leave it carbon imo if your getting a carbon fiber hood, i love the depth of a well done hood. Secondly i remember when my Cobra was my daily commuter and id wash her you had that like 27.38 minutes were it looked AMAZING then the light film of dust ugh. Your car looks good im not usually a fan of verts but id drive the wheels of yours.

Thanks for the compliments. Believe me I hate black. I love the way it looks when it's clean, but like you said, that doesn't last very long. It gets dirty after 5 minutes of driving yet if I let it sit you see the dust in no time so you can't win. Long term plans include a color change to redfire metallic, lava red, or oxford white

Well my license says I'm in Nazareth, PA, but I'm in the process of moving in with my gf who lives in Lopatcong, NJ. I'm delaying switching everything over because I absolutely hate the idea of having a license plate on the front of the car

Yup, lowering is definitely next in line. The problem is I can't make up my mind what parts I want to use. Some days I feel like I should be sensible as far as spending my money on car parts goes and then other days I feel like spending my whole paycheck on it

I absolutely love your car DFG by the way. Your hood, headlights, wheels, and DFG paint look killer

i was also thinking about getting a carbon fiber hood & spoiler.
i was looking at my car the other day, and i felt like a carbon fiber hood/spoiler would go well with
the look of the top. (since its lighter than the car).

im probably going to get the s281 wing in the next couple weeks.
i must say, your car really reminds me of mine. and i love the look of your car.

Thanks! I was thinking the same thing about the top. The carbon fiber wing isn't all THAT noticeable against the black paint. Can't even really tell in pictures unless I take one close up with the sun shinning on it so I was thinking maybe the CF hood would have a similar effect of looking different, but not looking over the top

Thanks bro! And based on what you've got so far, you'll make the right decision on parts in the long run! Can't wait to see the results!

Nooo way dont paint.. sell it instead. Triple black 5 speed isnt east to find.. Your car looks very good just needs a drop to really complete it
