I finally got a chance to post these! (sorry for the huge pics) I can't believe the difference the pinstriping makes. What do you think?

Super clean! The wheels really look sporty but classy.

If you have the 5" wide wheels, then 185 width is probably the biggest you can safely mount. Although I would have gone with 70 series over 80 series just to get a little better handling.

I have a set of the 5.5" wide sport wheels with P205-60R13's mounted. They are right on the edge of what I would mount, but I recall someone here had 215's mounted.

Thanks for the input!

I'll keep the different tire options in mind for the future. btw, what do you think of raised white letters? Would that add anything or do the blackwalls work okay?

The white letters look good on a white car, I just can't find any good pictures of my cobra before I started tearing it apart

My personal preference would be for blackwalls on coupes and plain hatchbacks. I would hold the raised white letter tires for the bolder CBII's and KC's.

I think it would depend on the tires.

Goodyears? Mickey Ts? Raised Whites.

Coopers? I would flip a coin.

Sonics? Chin Chang? Black

BTW, Looking real good.

And Kumhos, needless to say, should stay blackwall.

The front valance would look very nice painted.

You should drop a nasty stroker motor in that thing, it would make a perfect sleeper.

My first II was a sleeper. It was a white coupe like the one I have now with hubcaps and everything except it had a 302. when I was away at college my brother street raced it (without permission ) and basically ran it into the ground. He told me later the car never lost a race. When he'd pull up they'd laugh at him because it looked like a girl's car (I had a little fuzzy heart hanging from the rear view mirror and he'd leave it there) until he beat them, then it wasn't so funny.

I'd like to have that kind of power (or more) again. who knows what the future holds for my little coupe....

In the meantime, though, what do you guys think about adding a white front spoiler from a Cobra II?

Is that too much for a V6? The spoiler would be the last thing I'd want to do exterior-wise except for eventually getting rid of the side molding (but that will have to wait a while until I need/can afford new paint) and maybe, MAYBE powdercoating the chrome bezels etc white (still undecided on that).

I don't think I want a rear spoiler.

If I did not say so before, Very nice car Denice!

Love the picture! Not sure about the spoiler, mine had one on it stock but it was not present when I got the car. And quite a few other things were missing too
