What color is the car now?? Unless you paint everything under the hood, behind the door panels, in the door jambs, under the hatch and in the hatch "well", i say leave it the OEM color. Color changes only look good when everything is done, otherwise it looks like a $200 maaco job.


With that said, here's my Black LX with Saleen wing (Saleen GFX coming soon)

the car has to be repaint, the paint is fading on the roof and a couple of other parts. I'm also going to get a few rust spots by the rear fender fixed.. I hear what ur saying but the engine bay was already painted black.. I also bought a new 2 1/2 cowl hood... I really dont know what the stock color is but I dont want to repaint it with the color it has now

I'm in the process of find a good brembo setup for the rear... the pic was at the tuning shop PSI Motorsports.. the car made 420whp and 510whq at 4,300 RPM before the fuel pump went.. I can't wait to see what it makes when the new Fuel pump is install

Red Saleen




Black Saleen






Oh and btw, those are the proper stripes for 99% of all Fox Saleens made. The only Saleens to come with side slash stripes were the rare SC, SSC and SA-10. I find it funny to see so many Saleen "replicas" wearing the incorrect 94-98 side decals.

Here is one of the rare 1990 SC's (notice the 1-year only double stack spoiler)

I've always love the way the fox looks with the saleen body kit on. But I'm not going for a full saleen replica.. just the Bodykit.. I would buy a real one but I'm not going to pay over $10,000 for a Fox saleen...
