my new parts installed

mustangvsix · 09-30-2006, 09:41 AM

well i got the louvers put on, so that means pictures!! haha
I absolutly love the way the look. also before the spring nazis come out, i am not getting springs, my driveway will not permit me too, and parking in a garage is more important right now then springs. other then that i would love to hear some comment's/suggestions. also what would people thoughts be on an '01 Cobra Bumper?

smg32208 · 09-30-2006, 09:51 AM

looks ****n tight. my bro got louvers awhile back and some ppl criticized it if i remember right. bout time someone comes around. make sure u get some rubber tabs to put on the louvers where it smacks the glass at highway speeds. or the easy solution is turn the music up.

Get a rear bumper with exhaust cutouts before you get a front bumper. Looks good otherwise though.

MattJ · 09-30-2006, 09:58 AM

I think you need a mullet to match your rear louvers, unless you already have one.

the front would definately come before rear...the front needs a bit more attention...
but thanks for the comments.

i think i still like the 01 front more, and i can get it painted for like 300+ shipping, the 03 will run me close to 400 before shipping, or something like that. Apparently you all think the rear cut outs for the exhaust are huge, i may look into just cutting my own out, i really don't want to just throw that much money into a bumper that is the same as mine, just that it has exhaust cut outs.

smg32208 · 09-30-2006, 10:16 AM

exhaust cutouts will make your backend flow a lil better instead of having piping just hanging underneat. kinda like when ppl get side exit exhaust without a new side skirt. not to change the sub but i got a deal for my new hood and bumper bout to go on. paint plus install for a 2000 cobra r hood and roush stage 3 front fascia $300.

MattJ · 09-30-2006, 10:16 AM

Hey I found a new picture of you and your ride!

smg32208 · 09-30-2006, 10:16 AM

you should look into a hood scoop too. i have the same hood as yours and i hate not being able to see the hood when driving.

B-rett · 09-30-2006, 12:20 PM

welcome to the club.......louvers look great

PColav6 · 09-30-2006, 01:02 PM

I think you pulled it off nicely with the black accessories on your car, you should get some cobra sideskirts to accompany the bumpers you get.

DarkSith · 09-30-2006, 01:21 PM

Looks great man, I think the cobra bumper would look good, with a chin spoiler, and some cobra side skirts, kinda like the that yellow mach1 someone posted a pic of awhile back. Also a cobra r hood to acompany the bumper and skirts would look good.

StangGT804 · 09-30-2006, 03:07 PM

pretty nice!! can you see well with those on???

B-rett · 09-30-2006, 04:22 PM

ya ive had them almost 2 years now and i dont even notice them anymore......got some big blind spots tho from the c pillars but not a problem for me

i actually like the louvers on your car...it flows nicely

and come on...no driveway if taken at the right angle will make u bottom out if lowered...

AREA 51 · 09-30-2006, 08:32 PM

are they the plastic ones or the metal louvers? Where did you purchse yours? I think they look great and want them for my stang

GREG@SN95 · 09-30-2006, 09:00 PM

if i had a cope I'd do louvers...

look great...

You need springs... I have a terrible drive way that I scape on all the time... as long as yer bumper isn't really low and ya don't hit that yer fine...

I scraped **** so much It stopped bothering me cause i knew it wasn't damaging anything

idk....i bottom out everytime i go over the speedbumps at my school so if it was a steep driveway i can see what he means. No way around them either. I couldn't be driving any slower than when i go over them either haha.
