Just dropped the cobra off at the shop to get the hood repainted and have the mirrors painted to match the car FINALLY! I put a hood bra on the car over a year ago for about 2 weeks and it faded the front edge of the hood to a pinkish color, so I complained to the company who made the bra and ended up with a check for $430 to get it repainted. Well after numerous things standing in my way (such as tearing apart the rear about 3 times since then) of a chance to get it repainted, its finally gonna get done. I'll be getting the car back tomorrow evening, so I'll have pics up after that. Should look pretty sweet with red mirrors , Now I just need new tires!

Well here is how she sits right now...

The hood is perfect...no orange peel, nice and smooth, not a chip to be found...


The mirrors are exactly what I wanted, really brings the look of the car up a notch. This is DEFINITELY how stangs shoulda came from the factory...


lemme know what you all think
