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.

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

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

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.

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

Looks good.

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)

I think I have a problem here.
