The original picture you posted isn't too bad at all, but I really dislike the picture milewsky posted. Just my .02

There are other combonations that can be done as well. IE.... Roof/pillars/rear wing/center of the hood (second rise).


Have not heard anyone say yet if the entire car would need to be repainted or not, I assume it would be , there are some scrapes and nicks Id like to see gone.

^^^^ that looks haaawwtt

And as for black/red being a bad combo, I disagree. The ONE car that got me to fall in love with the sn95 was a friend of mine with a red '95 GTS that had a black running horse covering most of the sides of the car (sounds corny, but I really wish I had a pic to show, it looks amazing). That car also sounded retardedly good

I also like the color, though I prefer black as the primary color; black on the bottom and red on top.

I like the two tone, ever since I saw Foose doin it on Overhaulin'. I def think the dark color needs to be on top. Something else is that I think the black top almost gives the car a chopped roof look... My $.02

That is friggin AWESOME! And to Redline.....I think the pic in your original post looks real good too. It would just need some tinted windows and smoked headlights to go along with it IMO.

Not as if I dont have enough on my plate already for this year but I kinda threw this idea around today as far as if I painted the Mustang like this. Would prob be a next year project b/c I have so many other things planned for this year but Id just like to get some feed back from you guys and what you think.

PS: Anyone else have any pics of some 2 tone SN95's?

This is the original pic posted.......

I swear I've seen this exact car at the past two Fun Ford Weekends here in Commerce, Georgia. If this isn't the car, then it is nearly an exact copy.

In person, this car (or one exactly like it) looks really good. I saw it first coming the other direction in traffic outside FFW and then passed it again while it was parked. Walked by it and thought it was done pretty good.

Hard to beat the 2-tone combo of the pic where only the hood and pillars are black. I think the wheels help along with the Cobra body. The shine helps too.

There was someone on Corral a while back that had their Cobra painted just like the pic you posted in your original post....black on top, red on bottom, split at the body line. The guy had a 2000 Cobra R hood. I just searched for like an hour and a half and couldn't find him. But I found this. Looks to be Laser Red and a Gun metal color, but it gives an idea.

Thats a good idea, I planned on getting it tinted this summer anyway, It had tint when I bought it but I had to take it off, was to dark for our state limits.

Thats pretty cool, was not this car though. Its currently all Red, as far as I know the only time its been through GA is when I drove though it after I bought it in FL

painting the a-c pillar black looks good, the whole top of the car from the hood to trunk is a bit played out IMO and really looks much better on 99-04 stangs

Im starting to like this a lot more so then the entire top done. Do you think the wing painted black would go along good w/ this look?

If you paint the wing, I think you would also have to do atleast part of the hood to make it look right. Something along the lines of a Mach 1 style.
