Passenger side rolled into a fence this winter and is scratched up. Nothing really car looks like it did last year just with 5 lugs.

SVO would definitely be different and cool....kinda hard to find though. I think the Cobra wing is my favorite hatch wing, that or the old 3 piece wings.

I love the saleen wing but too many local people have it. I found a great deal on an svo wing. I bought some nice svo pieces for my interior but they will be in my project thread when i install them.

I like it, but IMO the door handles, the GT lettering, and stripe along the body moulding needs to be painted black or something ... otherwise the bodycolored moulding winds up looking accidental, like it mistakenly wasn't masked off when painting.

The wing actually doesn't look too bad in conjunction with the cowl hood, but something more subtle would work better. A Cobra wing would look kind of out of place, but a 3-piece spoiler from a Pace Car or '82 GT would be sweet.

The car had the moldings black but imo it looked like garbage. The body color on the moldings add a more modern look to a 80's retro car. Im looking for a set of svo sail panels and will paint the rest of the trim body color as well.

I don't mean paint the entire mouldings black, I just mean the "GT" lettering and maybe the stripe running along the middle. I dunno, maybe it's just because I'm so used to seeing stock Foxes with the factory color scheme that when certain trim pieces are bodycolored, it looks a little off ... y'know, like the cowl grille, the mirrors, the door handles, or the trim around the windows. It's just a minor detail, though. Otherwise, it looks damned nice, especially with those rims.

Funny thing is i used to never like foureyed cars but the 85-86's grew on me. This car sat on the side of the road by my house for like 4 years and i always said i wanted to buy it. Then one day it was gone. 2 miles away it was for sale minus engine and tranny. I bought it that day and the rest is history. I will never sell this one.
