Well I have been looking to change up the look on the coupe again. I was getting bored of the same old setup. I tend to get tired of a look every month, so it was more than overdue for a change of pace. I haven't done anything to it besides wash it in over 2 months. So over the past week I have took the cowl hood off and put the stock hood back on. I had to put spacers under the hinges but it finally cleared. I also put on the FR500s and changed up my exhaust setup. I really like them on there but idk if I like them better than how I had it looking in the past with different setups. What do you guys think???

New setup-











Old looks






My personal favorite




Let me know which one you like best!

It looks like absolute s*** now. I can't believe anyone would want to be seen is a roach like that. Tell you what, I'll contact my shipping company and they'll be by on Thursday morning to pick that heap up and get it out of your way. I'll PM you my mailing address and you can send the title to me.

You're welcome.

As you have discovered.

Changing wheels and tires can only do so much for a car.

Personally, I think you should hack the front and rear end off the thing and graft parts from a different year onto it.

I know a guy....................

All of you are right to some extent! I have pretty much tried every wheel setup that I like and can afford. It's about to get boring unless I do something radical to the body. I wish Wythors would have contacted me earlier... I would have probably let you have it at some points during this long journey I have almost completed!

Looks AWESOME with the FR500's now. What are those? 18x10's with 315's?

I've never really thought twice about them, but those 03 Cobra reps look badass on your car, definately my favorite.

Thanks for the opinions. I am planning on getting some tint pretty soon too. The wheels are 18x9/10s with a 245/40 up front and a 285/35 Nitto NT555RII out back. I haven't touched my inner fender or my fender lips yet. The fit is almost 100% perfect. I can't believe how well it fit on there!

I like the 03 cobras. I think a set of 18'' saleens would be the hot setup tho

Agreed. Overall I think the FR500's work better but the dd 03's look really tough.

Beautiful but it needs tail pipes to accent the lips on the rims.

Kinda disappointed, when i read the title i was looking to ream someone a new one for their bad taste, but the first pics of the car look great, other than the lack of tailpipes, put a catback on the car and it would look perfect.
