    Roush Saleen Mustang ? Real one ?

    Looks like a real one. Also looks like a real rough one, as well. Changed hood, missing decals, missing door belt moulding. The supercharger would have been added, aftermarket, not put on by Saleen, not in 1988. Bonus, that the interior looks mint, however. If you are in Norway, I can't even...

    Roush I'm sure you guys seen these, but nobody mentioned them yet

    In response to Marcus' post about the futile search for the 'brass ring' (STERNS) for Fox-Body Mustang Wheels: I have been on the hunt, for years for a set of Sterns, inarguably the best looking wheel, ever, for our cars. My criteria is a set of 17x8 front and 17x9 rear, proper bolt spacing...

    Roush Help with Flofit headrests?

    Absolutely brand new. It is *almost* a shame taking them apart and cutting apart the perfect grey covering to use as a pattern! Oh well... I will have pics of the finished product, probably in many, many weeks, lol! He is also doing up some leather door panel inserts, should be really sweet once...

    Roush Help with Flofit headrests?

    Thanks, Marcus. That makes complete sense to me. Actually it is an ingenious design, so that you dont have to hog ring on the cover or have a zippered seam etc. As usual, you are a fountain of knowledge when it comes to these cars! :nice:

    Roush Help with Flofit headrests?

    I recently acquired a set of the original style Flofit headrests, that I am looking to have re-covered to match my new leather Flofit seats. I dropped them off at my local upholsterer, who is very good. He seemed a bit 'bewildered' as to the construction and dissection of the headrest. Just how...

    Roush This sucks.

    Could somebody photoshop that so that the bumper number has 7+ digits?! :lol Pretty soon they will have to leave the bumper number off, honestly 4 (or more) digits looks ridiculous!

    Design Concepts Cobra Rear Bumper

    I have the Cervini's and it is a OEM quality top of the line piece! My body man made me test fit it first, even though I assured him that it was not necessary. It fit perfectly, and all of the body lines are crisp and well detailed. Do a search, there was a very recent thread with pics of just...

    A.R.E rims

    Try this place: http://www.prestigewheel.com/ The product that fits the ARE mesh wheels are called Black Plastic Gear Caps. Part # 1326. I could not get the proper picture to pop up, but that is the right part and number. They are about half the price of the actual ARE branded version, if you...

    GT T top vs LX T top cant decide

    If you are dead set on using the Saleen front bumper cover, then you should stick with the LX trim. All of the Saleen stuff was designed to match up to the LX trim, it will not match up to the GT! However, I am not a fan of the Saleen nose without the rest of the body kit. Go with the whole...

    Recaro vs. Flowfit- educated opinions wanted

    Yeah, Steve Saleen probably had a giant outstanding bill left unpaid from the Flofit supplier from all of the cars he made in 88 and 89! Not even kidding here, they stopped using Flofits in 90, I believe. Saleen did Flofits, then Ford leather then went to the Recaro's. Saleen made 700+ cars in...

    A.R.E rims

    The 4 lugs are usually Hayashi or Riken and a few other manufacturers. The 5 lug ARE's, I am not sure of their specific name, they were used on Saleen Mustangs from 86-88 or so, myself and other usually just call them the 'Mesh' style. They pop up on ebay from time to time, and they are usually...

    REAR strut tower brace...

    I have the Blue Oval Industries bar in my car. BTW, it was also on backorder, when I got mine more than 2 years ago. I think they simply drop ship it from the manufacturer, as I received mine in about 2 or 3 days! FWIW, there was no noticeable difference in handling, after installation, which...

    Roush Nobody has mentioned this car yet?

    I am highly doubtful that the sale of this car will actually take place for $7,101.99! I smell a re-list coming up... ;)

    Recaro vs. Flowfit- educated opinions wanted

    I just purchased a set of Flofits for my car from the SeatSource (write up to follow). The seats are made in Taiwaan. I am not saying that as a negative, as the seats I received are extremely well built and the leather upholstery is flawless. I am not sure if the Flofits were always made...

    Roush Advice Needed!

    Thanks for the advice, Marcus. I think that I am going to give it a try on my own. BTW, do you still have a set of headrests for sale? Please email me, if you do (in my profile) Thanks!

    Rear seat upholstery question?

    I just put a set of leather Flofits in my car. I also purchased the rear seat cover from Seat Source. How difficult is replacing the rear seat cover? Is this a job I could do myself with simple shop tools, or do I need the services of a professional upholsterer? Specifically, it looks like the...

    Roush 88 rim Advice

    Stay with something in the Saleen family. This would be limited to the mesh ARE's that you have or the 5 spoke ARE wheels. Some of the newer Saleen 5 star designs are pretty sharp. How about some 3-piece Sterns! ;) lol
