Thoughts?

I can dig it...:cool:..

I think it's time to GET A DAMN CAMERA COLIN!


lol, just kidding, but seriously.... :rolleyes:


Looks great! I love the Cobra R wing.. It just makes me happy...

I like it!

looks good

they look good.

looks good.

you need a grill delete bro.

i dunno, i think something needs to be done to your front end to even it out with that spoiler

I like those wheels for some reason :)

Looking good!

see the post above yours.

Would look better with some 315's though :)

why do you have that rear bumper? do you have dumps or something?

looks good colin. what are you doing with the other rims?

Yep. I have a MM Torque arm and Panhard bar so getting tail pipes out the back is a little more effort than I wanted plus, I hate the look of visible exhaust. I used to get away with passing as a riced out v6 with the 4.6 and I'd have hondas revving at me all the time but the 5.4 is so loud people just figure it's best not to rev at me. Makes for fewer but more interesting light-to-light races.

Selling to the first person with cash. Also looking at partial trades for anyone with v6 wheels and tires in good shape. My rims aren't perfect but they're straight and 17x9. the tires are all good, 1 is near new, all are 275/40/17. I'm including a 17x8 01 cobra rim with a good 245/45/17 tire as a spare with the set.

I'll take 300 and v6 wheels or 400 straight or any good offer.

I'm also looking for a bumpsteer kit, racing steering wheel and hub, or pretty much anything else.

hmmm i got 5 star ponies...16inchers... all in good shape...but...why do you want v6 rims?

Let me first say, your car is amazing. That 5.5L you built is probably the most bad ass shit ever. But I do have some suggestions appearance wise. The wheels are awesome, i think they look good with your color. I like the wing, but it doesn't seem to go well with the rest of your car. A Cobra R hood, or a difference front fascia would probably do the trick. If not, I think a Steeda Wing would do the trick as well. It provides the same functionality. Also, i'd take the stickers and "SCT" emblem off. Stickers just aren't my thing. :-). I like the v6 bumper with the dumps, looks clean. Another thing that i hate but i think would go well with your car, is complete emblem removal. You don't got a GT no more! haha.

Otherwise, that shit is balla!

So I can go out and tear up 39 dollar tires instead of 240 dollar tires. Plus... how surprised would you be to roll up on a 03 GT rumbling with LOUD but looking like a V6 with a wing. It's all about picking on peeps that don't pay attention to the details before picking a race.


Thanks for the compliment. There are many way more interesting cars but I'll take the props anyway. :)

The steeda wing is nowhere near as effective as the R wing. The R wing is nutty aggressive but with my suspension it's great after 80mph. Really settles the car down and makes it a pretty comfy ride. As for the stickers and emblems... well I only use stickers for stuff I use and only for stuff I really like. Besides... if you want contingency money you need contingency stickers.

That shit would be so sick if you got a cobra R hood and bumper.

the R splitter actually sucks ass aerodynamically speaking. The Roush front splitter is much better at its job.

The R hood is too tall for me. It interferes with my visibility but when I do the 4v upgrade in a couple years I'll have little choice.

I'm going to lower it a bit today and give it a bath and take some good pics.

Although your car itself is beautiful (esp with the upgraded brakes stabbing me in the eye) I am not fond of black wheels. Plain Jane.

man if you don't have cobra brakes yet...dude you gotta get em. They're so worth it. Save my life damn near daily.

Where is the best place and price on the brakes?

coming from a guy who just put ugly 20's on HIS mustang

google? seriously... call up Ken at www.speedconcepts.net and tell him r3dn3ck from Wildhorses sent you, or Call up emilie at American Muscle and tell her the Mustangboards mods told you to call.

Expect to pay about 600 or so for a complete kit with everything in it. I lucked out and got mine as a freebie.

Yeah Codiddy, I put 20s on the stang.

I have 2 other sets of wheels however, to put on or remove at my leisure.

Perhaps you would be interested in putting these 20s on your very overlooked ride?

Jode

Excellent. Thanks for the info.

Jode

if you want to make it look better without the huge cost of tires, try just lowering it with a set of Steeda Sport springs and Tokico HP shocks and struts. Then your 17's will fill out those wheel wells and look 10x better. You can even swap some schmo your 20's for a set of deep dish 17's or 18's.

DO NOT FORGET: Bigger wheels and tires = heavier = longer braking distances + slower acceleration

Red, love your car, and all you have done to it.. sure is a beauty

Why do noobs always get so butthurt about everything?

Anyway not going to jack your thread r3d.

says to self, "I shall not continue smak talkin' in r3d's thread and remembers that only r3dn3ck is important."
