cenok, these clips are all i have and they definitely do not do the sound of my car justice, it sounds much better in real life but this might give you an idea

YouTube - Picture 019.MOV

YouTube - Picture 023.MOV

YouTube - Picture 020.MOV

my cam was also ground for driveability as well as power, so it doesn't have a big "lope" to it, enjoy though

edit: i havent listened to these since the day i got my car back from the shop, and now i think they really suck haha, my car sounds way better than that in real life, i need some new sound clips

I like the staggered look but i wish we could run wider wheels in the front...i'd prefer the same dish front and back if it were possible.

is it true that '91+ front fenders have more clearance than older years? i may be off on the year... although i guess that doesn't really help your situation 85 SS Coupe haha

They're a little bigger to compensate for the Pony rims being 16 inch, but they're still not big enough to really run a wide enough wheel to match the back. Plus for me, i couldn't use them because of my nose. The fender extensions on those fenders are actually smaller so the extensions that match my nose won't work on the newer fenders.

Yeah i love that car...i wish there were fenders with just about half that much flair....that much is overkill for a street car.

i always wondered what a good sheet metal/body guy could do with some capri rear quarters, and fenders, they have a nice outward flare to them to begin with, pulled maybe 2 or three inches could look awesome

i'd only recommend chopping up a parts-only Capri though, of course *cough, narrowly avoids being teh bant by Frankie and disqualified from FOTM*

Thanks! I'm split on the original color (med. canyon red met., my car is really faded) or redfire pearl met., a color on '03-'04 Cobras.
