Mustang Venom Prototype

*venom* · 06-03-2005, 09:18 PM

Now that I have everyones attention. I really need everyones opinon on serveral issues. As you have noticed we have many different types of Mustangs form the GT to the Shelby Cobra. I decided a while back to make my own which I have named the Venom Cobra. What I would like is input what looks good and what looks bad. First issue is the removal of all GT,Mustang or Cobra lettering. On the rear bumper it currently has Mustang GT so for sure I need to get a body kit to fix this problem so I need suggestions which ones you have seen onlline and not that common. I have been looking at the 99 Saleen body kit made for 98 Mustangs so far. Should I paint the strips on,redo it on vinly? Should I stick with the 8" or step up to 10". I will also be removing the Ford emblem but since it has hole I will have to wait til the repaint.

i think it will look really good! but just fill in the letters in your stock bumper dont use bumpers from a different body style

it will make it look horrible !!! just my 2 cents! but it looks great the way it is!

*venom* · 06-03-2005, 09:23 PM

I removed the Mustang emblem in the front should I put a Cobra or leave it Blank. By no means I want people to think I have Cobra but give hits on what lies under the hood. I am leaning to leaving it blank.

StangAddict · 06-03-2005, 09:30 PM

Are you getting a cobra bumper or hood? If not blank looks wicked!!! On a side note i wish my paint job looked as good as yours! :notworthy

Badfish · 06-03-2005, 09:32 PM

wow sweet!!!!! if it were ME id go with the cobra emblem

StangAddict · 06-03-2005, 09:34 PM

i just thought of something, fill in the M U and G T so it just says STANG :headbang:

*venom* · 06-03-2005, 09:36 PM

Or I could make a Black grill and mount the Cobra on the side like the Shelby has.

*venom* · 06-03-2005, 09:39 PM

I definitely need at least a front bumper.Sorry to keep you guys hanging but its been raining down here alot.

Badfish · 06-03-2005, 09:48 PM

nice shiftknob! yeah do the shelby style...wow ur new look is friggin awsome :sex:

Badfish · 06-03-2005, 10:13 PM

that does look VERY good...not very fond of the back though(the body kit)

raindamier · 06-04-2005, 02:57 AM

nice friggin paint job and the strip job looks totaly awsome!!! Really nice ride man and I love the rear end shot.

WaterDR · 06-04-2005, 06:41 AM

You may want to leave an oval on the rear, just do a custom one.

Car really looks cool.

You are right, I will work on it see what I can come up with. By the way the paint job is original and the stripes I added are vinly.

MattJ · 06-04-2005, 09:08 AM

I think if you rebadged the oval ford emblem to say DOHC with 281 in the backround or something, that would be sweet. Also with that MOST people wont know whats it REALLY mean unless you are a mustang fan or work around them.

dom · 06-04-2005, 09:37 AM

heres what i would do. cobra front bumper, single cowl hood. 10 inch stripes. fill the letters in your back bumper. i would swap the wheels too but they arent bad. nice car

alot of people that know even a little bit about cars know what DOHC means, its not just a mustang thing

*venom* · 06-04-2005, 12:38 PM

Yes, I do remember some company was coming out with a Cobra 03-04 bumper for 96-98 but I think it was fiberglass, cant remember who though. Fiberglass bumpers are not good as one hit and its trashed.

*Lances03SVT* · 06-04-2005, 01:26 PM

I like it :headbang:

bucky · 06-04-2005, 02:05 PM

can you get a custom emblem made for the grill? i wonder if anyone does that kind of thing.

you could get one of the cobra from the old 80's gi joe cartoon. that's a pretty sweet looking and different symbol.

dom · 06-04-2005, 02:16 PM

i know a guy that does emblems. i got mine custom made i drew them up and he did them. oceanemblems.com is his site. he has a name on modulardepot too but i am banned so i cant help ya

You are missing what im saying

He has a GT and hes getting a cobra engine in there. And the difference between the cobra engine and the GT engine? Well GT is SOHC and cobra is DOHC, among other things...

MineralGT · 06-04-2005, 03:36 PM

Looks real good...I got that same shift knob just with the "GT" on top.

RaginRoush · 06-04-2005, 04:48 PM

Don't put Cobra badges on it if it's not a Cobra. I understand that you may have or will be getting a Cobra engine in there, but that doesn't make it a Cobra. The ride looks really good, but don't be a poser.

Badfish · 06-04-2005, 05:08 PM

it will be probaly 90% cobra...i dont see anythign wrong with cobra engines...its not like hes puuting an "SS" emblem on his car ...cobra is atleast in the same family
