His mirrors are the first thing that popped out at me in that pic.

To paint my mirrors I think it was $135. That was for paint and labor.

Exactly what i was going to say. Mirrors would look good painted, but i'd do the other stuff first.

it popped out cuz you painted yours, the black looks good with the tint and on our early SN95's it does not look as good as your guy's 99+'s

The s281 wing is all you need to make that car look bad ass. The cobra bumper is cool but I would just do the wing, and as for painting your side mirrors that is only for people who like to waste money. Save your money for more performance.

I think your car looks really nice as is. The clear headlights give it a nice clean look. Im not a huge fan of the cobra wheels but it sounds like you like them so if you like them keep em. If you had to do some type of body mod i would say maybe a cobra bumper.

I agree with painting the mirrors, Ive painted the mirrors on both mustangs i've owned. I would have whoever paints the wing to paint the mirrors also, shouldnt be too much extra since they already will have the paint.

I don't like painted mirrors. It looks cheap to me. Everytime i see a Mustang with painted mirrors it reminds me of a $250 maaco paint job where the sprayed all the trim. I don't mean to offend anyone, but that's the first thing I think of.

The only painted mirrors I like are the 03/04 cobra mirrors. They look classier because the base is still black but the folding part is painted.



As for what I would do to your car??? 96-98 Cobra hood for sure. Best hood for the 94-98 in my opinion.

I like the wheels..i have the 96-97 versions on my FOx. Maybe toss a set of Cobra 13" brakes behind them for $340 from buyfordracing.com. I consider those an appearance mods as i have them and get lots of comments
