White's '95 GT "Unicorn"

[ttocs]

you think that makes you nervous you should have seen me cutting my cf hood to install the flush aerocatch latches.

 

[white95]

I remember that. Main difference? You can replace that hood. These aren’t readily available.

Swapped out the incorrect steering wheel hub for the proper part! Big thanks to @vtchopperdude for doing his home work and sharing the knowledge with the rest of us.

Just look at that gap!! The bolt had, AT BEST, 2 threads in the column!

Yea!!! Looks way better!!! Can't believe NRG has this part listed wrong on their own website, considering how many people go with an aftermarket wheels in these cars. Regardless, looks great and glad I could help!!

One side seems to be different than the other and I’m not sure what I’ll do about it yet. I’m not sure if I can heat and form carbon fiber but I’ll figure it out.

heat will not do anything to cf to help you move it. short of having some lean on sections while you tighten up the bolts in the door jamn I am not sure what can help.

Good point, well, it’s just going to be this way. It happened in the molding process so it’s permanent.

Suits the project

Took the spacers out of the bottom mounting point and the fit is much better.

Oh I can’t wait… Just need to trim the bumper a bit more to clear but this is a success.

looks good man

Nip/Tuck

 

[white95]

Not the best light to take pictures in but you get the idea.




The stablemate just giggled at my car’s identity crisis.



The Forgestars look good and…



…the steam roller tires clear with out issue!



It appears I’ll need to trim this down because it may rub under suspension compression.

315s up front you gone cray cray now... Do you need rack limiters to keep them from rubbing inside?

Perhaps.

 

[ttocs]

I had to put some small limiters in mine with the 19s up front. With as expensive as 315s are I would check.

 

[white95]

This is the way.



The Saleen bumper will stay but I still need to align that damn hood.

 

[joemomma]

Is that a factory Cobra hood or aftermarket?

Factory hood.

Nice. I have an aftermarket fiberglass Cobra hood, but I'm not sure if the grill inserts will work in it. I'm guessing they would, looks to be the same. I'm not sure mine has the "hump" in between the nostrils either - I need to look closer at it honestly. I just bought it a few weeks ago and don't have it installed. I'm not going to install it until I get the car painted in a few weeks.

I believe I’ll need to adjust the hood latch and install some of these:



I don’t have any of these currently because my last hood had aerocatch latches. Oh wait, I’ll just install those in this hood.

duh..

are ya going to put the vents in this one?
