wow that thing is hot!, DOh and it was sold right down the street from my Uncles place! LoL oh well sellin my car woulda gotten the price down into the 20 ehh? LOL looks nice, but those rims kinda remind me of the Roush's sept in black, i'd have to see them in person...

I guess I like it Springs. I personally am getting tired of seeing the same stuff on all stangs. The wheels are nice since they're DIFFERENT, but at the same time, they are on other stangs and are a common NON MUSTANG WHEEL. The bumper is good as well since it flows with your rear bumper and again, the 01 is less common than the 03/04. Do something different with the hood if you can, others have that hood scheme and IMO I'm not a huge fan. Other than that, rock on

I like the first chop better. Not sure about all that black on zinc yellow, think it'd look better on screaming. Love the wheels. BTW, you have me wanting an 01 cobra bumper now.

CCM · 04-24-2006, 04:04 PM

The problem with the 01 Cobra fronts is that they only look good from one angle: Head on. I could show you pictures that would make you hate that bumper. The 03 on the other hand looks great from all angles.

IMO, it doesn't look too flattering here:

Here

CCM · 04-24-2006, 07:07 PM

Or here

Badfish · 04-24-2006, 07:11 PM

none of those have a chin spoiler...

CCM · 04-24-2006, 07:14 PM

Your pics do look better, but keep in mind that the chin spoilers don't fit those bumpers well (look in the pics you posted and you can see fender gap) and also that for some reason the bumper on that Mach 1 doesn't have the little posts in the middle opening, but I'm almost positive all the rest do.

Mug11 · 04-24-2006, 07:16 PM

yeah CCM... you're crazy. :ban:

i like this picture... lol 01 cobra bumper on the left

there was gap on my gt bumper...so its the same..

and as far as the posts go, look closer they're there

CCM · 04-24-2006, 07:54 PM

Alright I digress. Most of the ones I've seen look decent, but every now and then I see one that looks terrible.

It's your car, make it in your image.

floppy · 04-25-2006, 08:10 AM

hey springs, your car would benefit from a more severe drop. look at the difference in height between your car and the yellow one you posted... my car sits exactly like that yellow mach and the ride isnt bad so dont be afraid of that... you have c-springs right? drop that bltch

yeah, I'm still not sure about cutting the springs tho

Mug11 · 04-26-2006, 07:25 PM

Just do full front suspension. Tub. k member / a-arms / coil overs

it'll drop the front like the yellow mach. :loser:

mine are cut and the ride is perfect... its honestly better than before i cut them.
40thblkgt has cut springs in the front too. as long as you cut the top of the springs instead of the bottoms you will be fine. and i only cut an extra inch.

did u happen to notice that Mach's front wheels were rediculously low... and the rear had about an inch and a half... neone have an idea what kinda suspension it has? maybe Coilovers?...or it could just be the light...or lack there of...

and CCM I agree I've seen the 01 cobra in person, and compared to the 03-04 it doesn't compare, for me if your guna get a chin spoiler why not keep the original bumper?
