I bought the car last november it was blue/silver with a smashed passenger side quarter.When i first got it i gave it a tune-up and put on my exhaust and 3:73's.
And over the course of the year my dad and I replaced the front and back bumper cover,put on some LX tails and got the car ready for paint.My dad paints cars for a living so he did the actual paint work while i got to do a lot of sanding.I think it turned out well and it grabs attention everywhere.(Sorry if the pics are to big)

When I first got it.




Cobra Rear cover , LX tails and more prep



All Done



And another shot outside the garage.

yeah i would def. go with the black bullits on that thing. It would look sick.
And whereabouts in new jersey are you? does your dad own a paint shop or do you just have your own thing at your house. I will be gettin my gt painted this winter and i was pretty set on the place doing mine, but it would be better to have a fellow stanger do my painting ya know?

If you guys think other two tone cars would bother me, you are completely wrong. I love two toned foxes in that style! I actually thought about tat same scheme, silver and black, but changed my mind. I will say it looks badass on your car!

Drop it sightly more, and some 18" DD anthracite FR500s... Would look drop dead gorgeous!

Again beautiful work and welcome to the two tone fox club .

Thanks alot! Your car looks killer and it sounds amazing. I'm saving fro some draglites(they're my favorite rims on a fox) and eventually down the road convert to five lug and get either bullits or FR-500's in black with a silver lip.

Yeah draglites should look good, I am just in the mindset that these style foxes look best on a 17 or 18 inch street rim. I had draglites on the rear of my car for one track pass, and they looked good, but not perfect.

Get them on and toss some pics up. I'm curious to see the whole "race car" look on the paint scheme.

Well I'm hoping I can find a nice used set of Draglites soon so I can throw up some more pics for you guys.I think some rims would really set the car off.

I agree, the pony's just dont do it justice. Hell I had 17" Bullitts on mine and it looked awful. The right wheels go worlds towards the right look. Get some draglites, and then later on some nice street wheels it you will have yourself one sexy car!

er... sexier
