fresh pain ?! rear fender !?

Sounds like your on your way to a Sonic blue 03 Fobra w/ a Saleen spoiler. I'd get a cowl hood, go wingless, fill in the rear bumper "Cobra" letters, and get chrome wheels. Sounds cool anyway. Don't know where to get the stuff.

i was actually going to do somewhat the same thing to mine sometime i already got the chrome 03 10.5's all i want to put on is the side skirts front and a 2000 cobra r functional (yes i said functional) hood and maybe a s281 spoiler

cowl hood would be nice, i was thinking 00 cobra r hood. lol thanks for fixing my mistakes. now people dont just think its going to be a beauty queen. i'm gonna hook up either a twin turbo, kenne bell, or procharger, and forged internals so i get some good boost. i was thinking about putting in a 03 cobra motor but its like 10g

xVENOMx · Mar 17, 2004

if i was painting it black again i would go with a cowl hood, but i think with the sonic blue i might go with the stock terminator hood. does anyone have any sonicblue cobras with cowl hoods?

Do something different. You're basically going for the fake Cobra look. Be unique. Something like 99/01 Cobra front bumper, 00' Cobra R hood, S281E rear facia (center exhaust), chrome FR500 rims....

Something like that would look better than just going for a Cobra look IMO. Don't get me wrong, I think the 03+ Cobra's are dropdead GORGEOUS, but you have a GT so be proud of it

Good luck

I went with a "mix-n-match" approach also. If you get the '03 Cobra rear bumper and have the letters filled, make sure they do it correctly. Regular filler in this application will crack with weather changes or if someone bumps into the bumper (i.e. a knee while your getting something out of the trunk). Make sure the rough up the area really well and use a specially formulated compound for bumper repair. Mine also has a layer of mesh that acts as a reinforcement like rebar in concrete.

The Saleen spoiler is a great choice, although I'm not real hip on the 3-piece unless the car has the Saleen rear bumper. Thats just my opinion, though. Either way, expect some extensive prep work on the spoiler. They are far from a "bolt-on" when you get them. Also, I highly suggest ordering through http://www.speedworx.com I called Saleen directly and they had to be the rudest company I have ever dealt with.

I know I have already talked about the rear bumper, but I just want to mention that using the factory Cobra bumpers is a great idea. They fit great and little prep is needed. The only bad thing about the '03 front is the cost. When I got my '01 shipped for $360, the '03 parts were something like $575 or $600 by the time you got the fogs, brackets, bezels, and the strip across the bottom. But it does look killer. Either one is a great choice.

My hood has drawn mixed reviews when I've posted in the past and I respect everyone's opinion. In fact, there are days that I look at it and have mixed feelings. What I can say is that the fit and finish on the Steeda hoods is top-notch. They are made by a company called Kaenan who just so happens to make a '00 R replica hood that is the same quality but cheaper than the real thing. Also, don't forget if you like cowl hoods that Steeda offers the same hood I have minus the louvers.

As far as purchasing the '03 Cobra parts, I highly recommend http://www.fordpartsnetwork.com I got my rear bumper and a few other assorted bits from them. Great prices and easy to work with. In fact, I may order a set of '03 Cobra skirts from them fairly soon. If you go with an '01 front bumper for some reason, try GEF Racing. They have the bumper with fogs for $300 +shipping.

And one last piece of advise. Almost all the body parts you are ordering are either oversize UPS or they have to come by truck. If you have your parts shipped to a business, the shipping will be greatly reduced. I saved $40 on the shipment of my bumper by having it shipped to a business.

Hope this helps! And post some pics when you get it done!

im just not sure what would look good with sonic blue. i might not go with the s-281 3 piece. i might go with stock terminator wing. if i went with black i would go with the clean look all shaved but not with sonic blue. its probably gonna be a fobra. thanks im gonna check out that site

The S351 wing is worth considering.

If you want them all, how about 500-600 shipped?
