Trying to come up with little details that'l set the car apart, and only thing I could come up with is, deleting and molding in the non functional side scoop, molding over the rear red reflectors, and deleting the antena and side emblems.

Im concidering getting another hood, such as a Cobra R, or the Cervinis single rise hood, and a cobra front bumper.

And thinking about a paint scheme, but cant really come up with any new/interesting ideas... anyone??

my opinion is def leave the rear/side scoops they really set our cars apart, how about those saleen scoops you can put over them? i would leave the hood alone. that black top looks diffrent and i like it, it catches your eye.
 
i like that last pic two toned and no scoopes, or just mold them in and get rid of the seam like fake snake did, that looked great , and you could shave the trunk like i did around the plate . i would put another color in between the black and red like a silver you could marblize it that would look awsome :nice:
 
Id leave the hood the Cobra R w/ the SVO scoop looks the best and I dont like it w/ out the side scoops, that is what makes a Mustang a Mustang, look at every mustang from 1964 to present and just about everyone of them have somet type of side scoop or indentation on the door. Id go w/ a diffrent front bumper and a diffrent wing, the Saleen 351 wing would look nice on it and a diffrent bumper would look good to but leave that hood its killer.

PS: If you do go w/ a diffrent hood I want yours if your willing to sell it and ship it.
 
I realy like the two tone ALOT, now your side scoops dont have a duct?? mine do along with holes in the mesh. I know they realy dont do anything cept. blow air on the tires but thay to flow air so they are fncl.

I vote, R hood on the black on red two tone or the svo with a red insert (were the scoop is)on the black/red idea.
 
As bad as your car is it needs something flashy IMO. Somethign that shows it means business (not that the hood you have on there says anything less). I have always loved Jim Summer's (NMRA) 2001 season paint Job. Here's a link to the best pic I could find. Its right at the top. The red one with the tribal style flames. I've always wanted to paint my car that way but I never will. LOL

stick to what you have now but add the stalker or cobra bumper and side exhaust. the cobra isn't really rare but it will give your car a meaner stance. don't get rid of them emblems or blend the side scoop
oh and the S281 wing,

i really disagree with an exotic paint job like the link someone posted but a two tone might be alright
 
IMO keep it simple or it'll be too over the top. I actually think the hood you already have suits your vert top well. If it were mine, I'd maybe do ghost flames, svo rocker mouldings and side exhaust, and a nice little lip for that front bumper along with a boss or steeda rear spoiler (the low pro one). That would make for one tough looking steed. Whatever you decide on, I'm sure it'll be top notch. Try photoshopping that and see how it works...I'd like to see a ps of it.
 
Mike see if your Dad can get a good price on some BASF Extreme. I had my car that color before this paint scheme and I miss it a lot. It's an awesome color with green, blue and purple. :nice:
 
Don't shave the handles, you won't be able to take it to any strip.

I like the plastic scoops you can get to make the indents stand out, but like what Striped said, don't mold them in!

First thing you should do to distinguish your stang is to get new rims, I think those are almoist as popular as waffles. I think FR500s are hot, as well as deep dish bullitts.

Maybe a flame paint job? Starts out white hot on the front of the car then yellow, orange, finally fades into red?
