let him do what he wants...if HE thinks it looks good who gives a flying f**k what the 2% of all people who drive cobras think....it doesnt matter, and people who care enough to give a crap if somone elses car has an emblem on it..they need to consider why a stupid emblem makes them mad

He asked for opinions, and that's what was given. He should be happy with what it is, it's a beautiful ride to say the least. I guess if you told them it's a Cobra conversion then that's ok, but don't tell them it's anything other than what it is.

I really dont see it your way, I think when Cobra owners see a Cobra engine they will be impressed and have alot of questions. Now on the other hand if I had a turbo or supercharger on SOHC now that is a poser. Remember that when I open the hood there is going to be a big Blue snake right on the top for all to see, what am I going to say" ahhhhhhhhhh thats not a Cobra its a Worm on steroids" or maybe I can be like Prince and say "the Engine formally know as Cobra" since I cant say the name "Cobra".

I see what was bothering you I put Venom Cobra on the title instead of Mustang Venom. I have made corrections so I guess no more poser, from now on I will refer to the symbol of a Snake as Venom Snake and not Cobra Snake. You never know maybe in the future youll have Cobras wanting to put Venom in their Cobra just remember who is the original lol. Just remember guys I really like Kid Roush's input as it helps on what mistakes not to make or what improvements can be made. If it wasnt for his inspiration I would have not done the stripes.

the only cobra ref you should have on your car is Cobra Killer.... Cobra owners are such pansies... the way i see it if i make my car faster then 90% of all the cobras out thier then i have the right to put what ever i want on it.... Venom Flyby coming soon...lol

Man i have a cobra and i think that the idea of the cobra emblem on the side (in the front grill) would be awsome in your car. as far as posing or whatever man it looks good and probally is fast so who cares. as long as you don't put that gt-r emblem i've seen on it (looks like something from a lancer or evo) then it's stright

I think she looks pretty sharp man.
Nice job on the vinyls, i think you have the same vinyls that i have. Bold statement those. They look sick, nobody wants to race me since i put em on mine. which is fine, i aint too into street racing. funny, the impression they give though
I would stay away from 10 inch, i have 8 inch rallys with the side pin strips and man, that is pretty wide. any wider i think will look a bit odd.
You should play around with photoshop, get some pics of scales and work with the designs, try out different things. If you could create a real sweet snake pattern you can get that pattern put onto some custom made vinyls and re-do the stripes.
If yer going with the whole venom thing, i totally say drop everything that even resembles a cobra, no "hood". take up a new snake if you want that theme. Maybe some sort of rattlesnake type lookin emblem, focus the shape of the emblem with its head, not the "cobrahood". Most poisonous snakes have a diamond shaped head which will work well with the "V"enom, try playing with that.
Drop a few bucks on it too, dont waste time with a 1/16th thick badge, get something custom made for the grill emblem that holds a real 3 dimentional shape, something comparable to the Jaguar hood ornamant. Imagine a perfectly 3d snakehead emblem with its mouth open and fangs bearing. That would be freakin sweet. As if you cut the head off a striking rattlesnake anddipped it in silver and put it where the grill is. That would be a freakin insane touch. Make sure you run a positive lead from the battery to it, so when some punk trys to steal it he gets zapped.
Definatly no Mustang Cobra Logos. Its the same as taking a v6 and puttin a v8 into it then calling it a GT, the engine isnt the only difference between the two.

You have to remember that I cannot get any bumpers that look good on 99 an up stangs as they have a more chiseled look. 94-98 have more curves and requirres something along those lines. I will not be getting the whole kit just the front bumper. Its going to look bad *** the problem with the pic is the color,wheels and headlights that are on there. Imagine it in black with racing stripes with a nice hood which im looking into it as well. I cant change the fact that my model year looks more feminine than later years so adding something along the lines of a 03 roush bumper will look ridiculas.

Dang...Ok a cobra has venom... he is not saying its a straight up cobra...its a new breed, idiots think its a poser and its not. btw your year model with those colors go with what your doing its not that feminine. If you cant handle what he is doing to his car...give me yours. If you want some custom work done as far as your front grill go to a heating and air business they can do stuff like that as long as they have a design. If they say they cant they are BSing you.

i didn't mean put clears on yours just that i like them on mine wouldn't suit yours. but that bumper i don't knowi mean i haven't seen one before so that's cool but the curve on thside of the front extending from the fog lamp back sticks out looks like maybe an inch or two. if there was a side skirt that matched up with it and maybe flattened out to go into the back bumper then i'd say it's one of the best i've seen. and those headlights are scary

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.

Yes its a stock hood but I am going to go with another hood. I want to thank everyone for their input I really ,really do appreciate it and take everyones opinion into consideration. Everything from the GI JOE Cobra Commander Snake to a diamond back snake spitting Venom. I will have updates when things get done. Im hoping to have the new engine and suspension done in a few weeks which will be Stage I of the project. Stage II will be the body work and finally Stage III will be the twin turbos.

Well congrats on the lil one. That's way more important than a car. but it does look sweet man. i want to do alot to mine but i just bought a house and can't really do it yet. want to get a 99-04 cobra motor and do all the engine work on it then put it in my car. My motor would then get rebuilt and placed in my dad's 37 ford coupe.

Im right there with you wont be able to do stage III of my project until after I buy a new home. I had told my wife that we can swap parts from this to a Classic Stang if in the future we wanted to do something different and buy a newer stang. I really dont want two late model stangs rather have 60s fastback and a current gen. Good to know that at least you can savage most of the engine and drivetrain. Hold on Im getting a dream sequence in my head let me project it to the forums...............................
