Neither one of those are a 'foxbody' mod!

When you take out a factory 4 or 6, and replace it with a 5.0 that IS a foxbody mod. And it had to be a different car..There’s nothing about my fox body I feel guilty about for doing. Angry....is a different story.

Fox body mods- least favorite popular mod and guilty pleasure
I need clarification from the author, the 'guilty pleasure ' as in ' foxbody' guilty pleasure, not in general.

Admittedly, the idea was general fox body mods rather than just any random car mod.

Fox body guilty pleasure or in general was my point.

Least favorite: complete Energy Suspension bushing kit... everywhere possible (thank goodness every single one is gone now)
Guilty pleasure: not being able to afford a paint job and secretly liking how much easier it is to take care of that way

I see someone's hood flew up

In all seriousness, I like your car, Wayne! Question on your wheels - are they GT Tri-Bars that you painted, or did you buy SVE 4-lug versions?

I see cobra brakes behind the wheels, so I’m assuming they are tri-bars painted

It did. That's not why the hood is black but you are correct....lol.
I had those wheels long before SVE existed...lol. They are 5 lug that i painted. Back then you could buy those chrome center caps with the snake that's on there. I don't think you can get them now.

I'd love to swap my 3.55's for some 3.08's. My feature vert had them and I liked it.

Round 2!

Least Favorite: White face gauges. I just never understood the allure, and they always just stuck out to me in a bad way.

Guilty Pleasure: Ground effects on a Notch. It's hard to do it right, but it can be done...




Oddly enough, the only Fox where the Saleen wing is least objectionable, too.

Never been a fan of ground effects on notches but that doesn’t look bad, maybe it’s the ROH’s.

Least favorite: has to be the GT bumper with exhaust holes cut in it.

Guilty pleasure: Cobra R 2000 hood with the louvers. It’s far and away my favorite hood. I don’t see a lot of them, which makes me like it more.
