Okay, I am planing on turning it from this, (see pics) to making it look, at a glance, a Cobra. It will not be a Cobra "wanna-be". The stickers on the side, that say Cobra II, will be custom stickers that will instead say Mustang II with the same font. It will be black with black interior and red side stickers with red Lemans stripes. The hood, spoiler and the main parts I'm wanting, I have no clue what they are called.... the front end parts that kinda look like a body kit.... anyone know what I'm TRYING to describe? Any suggestions on rims and tires or anything else are greatly welcome. I'm hoping it will end up looking like it does in my head.

You're talking about the front valance... actually your car should have come with a front valance. The Cobra II had a urethane spoiler bolted to the valance. In the rear, the Cobra II had a three piece spoiler. The problem you're going to have is that all Cobra IIs were hatchbacks so you'll have to do some engineering to make it fit the coupe. The hoodscoop is reproduced and fairly inexpensive. You could re-use your hood. There isn't any difference except for the pins that hold the scoop down. The three piece rear spoiler you can get off e-bay. The front spoiler is very difficult to find and I recommend you look into aftermarket fiberglass copies. Your car looks to be in good shape, so I think you've got a good start.

yeah, it is in really good shape. Just a few rust spots that arenothing major, and 4, count'em four little bitty dings. No scrathes, nothing. As for the spoiler, I was figuring since it isn't hatchback, maybe some bondo to get it to fit right? I dunno, going to have to get the spoiler and see what I can come up with.
