i think if you flaked the whole car it would take away from the flames.. it would def be unique though.. i havnt seen a flaked car in a long time..again others may tell you its a little ricey though

ya, it would make the mineral gray come alive, but i may lose the flames, on the other hand, just doing the flames would take away from the entire car.

true.....well first thing is getting the r on and painting it, not necessarily in that order. after that i will have to draw out some layouts. there is a customs place that may be able to help me get the ideas onto paper. i'll let you know what i do. Anyone else have an opinion?

Wheels would make an impact more than a bumper would. Add a Mach 1 chin, really changes the front end dynamics, esp on a lowered car with nice wheels

I personally would never go with a body kit. I haven't seen one yet that looks good, IMO.

However, the cobra bumper looks sick.

IMO, The Cobra R kit looks like trash, even on the R itself... I think your car looks great as is, & a Mach chin would make a world of difference. The 99-01 Cobra front bumpers look great as well....

I had the cobra R bumper from cervini's for 2 years before it got busted, be warned it sits exactly 1/2 inch taller than a pepsi can from ground up so you will scratch it over tall speed bumpes, also the lip sticks out really far so if u take a dip it will hit, if you absolutely must have the front bumper get a urathane one not fiberglass, abc exclusive has the best price for the bumper, but like I said it will bottom out a lot, I destroyed mine going to work in ice one day I got called in it was pretty much a snow plow......... I'd do what the forums users say and get 03/04 front bumper with lip, cobra hood, and some chrome wheels........ just my 2 cents

since your car is grey, i'd put 03/04 cobra bumper with chin , 2000 cobra R hood, and saleen wing and your car would look tight
