Heres my cousins coupe on 18x9-18x10 Fr-500's. Tires are BFG KDW2 255-40 fronts and 275-35 DR's on the back. It looks ALOT better than the Y2k Cobras he had on there before. It has a stock 8.8 rear end and we just flipped the quad shocks and it clears. He has basically the same motor as me except he has Trick Flow heads and RPM2 intake. Its a 9:1 306 with custom cam for the S-Trim. He hasn't put the blower back on yet, but it ran 11.64@117 N/A...Heres the pics fellas

Very good looking car. He needs to lose the striping off the taillights though.

I was gonna comment about the striping on the taillights to. It doesn't really flow. It just looks like taillights that have tape strips on them

i plan on smoothing out the stupid bumper strip that goes all around the car in the same fashion. looks really cool, although i think a pony in the grille would make it less blank looking. +1 on losing the brake light stripes too. Other than that it is a stunning fox body. Really awesome.

looks great with the Fr500s!! I also love the smooth look. Any info on what you guys did to accomplish that? Im sure it was alot of man hours but did you just glass the trim to the car and smooth it out at the rear bumper?

Look nice! What's up with the stripes on the rear lens?
Other than that, I like the color and the wheels, plus the car's suspension just sits right.

Here's a pic of my coupe with the SVO/Cobra rear lens...

Rims look awsome, coupe looks awsome and sal I beleave them are svo tails as there gray stripes it looks and I beleave the cobra has black stripes.

Atleast thats how it was on many cobra and svos ive seen.

not to jack this thread but damn that pic looks awesome....like its in a video game or something...I love it!

as for the blue notch...I think I am getting old because I like a more stockish look. IE: smoothed body moldings and shaved grille opening arent doing it for me. The wheels, stance and hood looks awesome though!

That blue coupe is beautiful. I agree though, I would lose the stripes on the tail lights....the Front grill and smoothed bumper look good but not my taste. Over all a killer looking car though!

I believe this is the same midnight blue notch that had the cobra 2kr's. That is a veery nice car. I like the previous wheels better. As I made it a desk top background.

Yeah you could say it took a few man hours..lol...Yes the trim is still on the bumpers and they were glassed over. As for the doors, the moldings were removed and the groove was welded over and then smoothed out to a nice finish.

He has the same set-up i'm running. Rear springs are just cut stockers. In the front he's running a PA Racing Tubular K-Member and A-arms with coilovers.
