1. No one says bling anymore, hell Bling has been dead since 2004, unless you are real old and behind the times
2. You guys are being to nice, I wont. Honestly thats is the worst looking "real" Saleen I have seen in my life(I've said it before) and I have seen some untastful Saleens. I dont care how much power you car makes. If that were the case I could smear **** all over my new Porsche and it would still be cool.

The: Chrome Gas Cap, Cheesy painted rear bumper and other scoop inserts, the tint, painted red calipers, the white paint on the wheels, Im just going to guess that you probalby have all the ugly chrome interior accessories as well. When you try to make art it is open to interpretation, and most people(>95% more than likely) see you "art" as a downgrade from stock in soo many ways that it hurts the eyes(and soul) of a mustang afficianado

Unless you have people trained right, that passenger door handle would have finger prints on it all the time!

Actually I don't think the car looks that bad. It has a lot of stuff on it, but I think it goes well. Personally I'd probably lose the screen inserts. But I think the window tint goes along with the Saleen graphics.Maybe lose the fuel door, never liked those. I think the wheels and tires look good and different for a change. The letters on the tires aren't huge like some, so being white isn't obnoxious.

The body kit screens I had to replace because the crappy stock Saleen ones rust. So I just threw in some replacements I got from www.ccmustang.com

Should have known that was your interior when I saw it the other day...

I remember the diamond plate floormats..

You're reached the point of buying another car to play with. You've reached the limit of "accesorizing" this one...

PLEASE PUT DOWN THE JC WITNEY CATALOG!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think chrome handles would look good because of the style of our handle...the pull up cheapies they are. Not like the old style handles you could actually grab or even better the ones that had the push button...wow am i dating myself alittle Those were nice in chrome but ours just won't cut it.

Excellent quality Highly recommended. The owner actually custom fabricated my Saleen screens for me. TONS better quality than Saleens stock turds.

Yeah, and what was with the problem with red calipers? HELLO! That's practically the only color anyone even uses. Special edition Bullitt's and some Cobras come stock with them

People are just jealous mang . I personally think it looks great like it sets..still against the chrome door handle though. Imagine how cold in the winter and how HOT in the summer . Especially for your passengers, not being used to it.
They would most likely have to be chrome plated to reduce heat...but i bet aftermarket would be polished billitt steel.

Ok ill tell you what you can do if you REALLY want to have them chrome. No need to buy them, just remove the handle and take a look at this page and call anyone of these guys you want, if you do live in indiana.

http://thecityofindianapolis.com/plating/index.html

Ask them what you need to do as far as prep and take it to them . You want them to coat it with nickel first and then use chrome...that should make it much stronger. But they should tell you that since its for the ouside of the car.

Too much chrome is tacky.

CHrome wheels i can see, but honestly when i see accords and other rice-boxsand even some of the 300c's and magnums on the street with chrome trim everywhere it makes me want to puke.

Chrome door handles were factory until 1986, then ford went black in '87

I think the wheels are really what kill the look. Deep dish on a saleen does not look right maybe a cobra kit. That is why saleens look so good is because they did one heck of a design for the 99-04s.

And the diamond plate floormats are not good

Your car would win many tuner/sportcompact shows though they play to all that stuff.

I like the looks of a pretty much stock saleen




this car is great except for the taillights but you can hardly notice them
