Here's what I did Today! With Pics!

[69clark]

Got an idea from Badass98svt from SN95forums.com. I guess the 03-04 cobras have an SVT logo on the tach. Well our cobras don't so, I made up some decals to put the logo on my tach. I think it looks good. Let me know what you think. By the way, if any one is interested I made up some extras, I have red, black, metallic silver, metallic gunmetal, and carbon fiber (imitation of course). PM me if interested.

Before:

After:

I finally bought some scuff plates for my car (I was always to cheap in the past, lol). They are laser cut (I believe) brushed aluminum, so the SVT logo is cut all the way through, so the color under the plate shows through. Well, you know me, instead of just having the black plastic show through I came up with the idea to put some carbon fiber sheeting behind it so the plates have a carbon fiber looking SVT. Pretty original looking, I like them, was unsure if I would for the last few years. So let me know whay think. I did more stuff today, but this is all I have pics of, enjoy.

Dude! You're in Ravena.... we need to talk about some vinyl for my bike...

PM is on it's way...

Like the look wish I had a Cobra so i can take one of those off your hands. Now the question what guages are those they aint typical white face layover.

 

[69clark]

Long story on the gauges but they are stock white faces, just the bezel is aftermarket. Not many like it around!

69Clark i was wondering how hard was it to put that graphic on the tach?

i never messed with our cluster before so i have no idea how to do it.

any chance you can get a pic of it with the gauges lit up?

i'm intrested

 

[Yobi1Kanobi]

WoW very nice...They look just like the 99+ autometer replacements. If there was anyway to put those on my car I would do it I guess I am just gonna have to go with Florida 5.0 guage clusters

 

[69clark]

Yeah, basically it is the same bezel I believe as the autometer gauges, except it is the stock gauges with the autometer bezel.

doney_punch - They are ver easy to put on, the gauges come right out with some screws. You pull the bezel off and then just put the decal on the gauge face. I don't have any night pics but the car is in storage a little ways away from me, next time I am there I will snap some.

[diablostang]

where did you get those trim rings?

 

[69clark]

Simco Ltd. Check out their site.

That simple mod gave you over an 1/8th more gas in your tank...

Looks good.

 

[69clark]

Good one!

But did you notice I lost some oil pressure too!

 

[95riosnake]

SCRATCHES!!!!

haha jk I have them too. Looks great with the carbon under there. The SVT decals for the tach look perfect as well

I have thought about getting some scuff plates but I have been trying to lay off the appearance stuff and get back to performance, cuz the only appearance stuff I have left is expensive (Hood, rear bumper .....PAINT for both = $$$$ but I'm sure you know all about that lol)

 

[Ozz]

Sweet, that carbon fiber touch really made the difference there! I've got something similar in the works too

 

[69clark]

Don't hold out on us!!!

 

[Ozz]

Hey, you did

I'll be posting pics when it's all done! Nice n' custom-like.

 

[69clark]

Make sure you post them over here, I don't alway check the 5.0 section as much as I should.

 

[trav_19]

hey 69clark i hear that your the man when it comes to vinyls and stuff and with your little mod you just did i see why, i was wondering what your trunk lid is like is it stock with the 3rd brake light in it? if so have you ever thought about making a vinyl to cover it with svt cut out or cobra or anything else... i know i would be interested.
