it's not how fast you go, it's how you get there that counts.

nw change the center caps , before some ford owner starts crying
Wow, looks great. Looks like it pushes the tires right to the edge of your fenders.

its the new Shelby GTP Cobra! hahaha
new center caps will be puchased. just havent decided what i want yet. arrowhead, GTP, blah blah blah. dunno. it'll be a little bit before i get em.
actually, rather than pissin a bitch fit, most ford guys go "... those fit that thing?" to which i go "yessum"
rails, im workin on dropping it, but it's gonna take a while. the front is at the ride height i like. the back could stand to be lowered a half inch or so, but it costs too much darn money to do that stuff.
and yeah, i was gonna get some SVT badges just to piss with my mustang friends. but then i figured we've got enough fake badging in town (saw an eclipse with a "vtec" badge on it once, man was that funny), so i thought i'd leave the rice to their grainy ways.
thanks so far guys, keep em comin

Hey...IMO they look a lot better than the bullets GP guys have been putting on.

yeah we got alot of fake badging in phx too , i saw a SVT-R stang vert , it was a base 3.8 V6
i think they would look even better if they were black with a silver lip, like if you painted them like your old wheels
the arrowhead or just plain would look best for the centercap
at least imo
anyone that would throw a fit needs to realize they are just wheels

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. The front ride height isn't bad, but the rear is classic GM. I remember how we used to call the guys that didn't lower their Cav's the newest 4x4 of the month.
For the center caps I could just take a fine tip sharpie and write "sucks" next to the little snake.
That or just blank silver ones.

they'll be powdercoated eventually, but the car needs painted first.
i was thinkin about trying to get a mongoos in the background of the center caps with it's mouth around the cobra, but that'd be a little too much work for something no one would notice.

Looks good, and to add to the "fake badging fire" I once saw a GT-R Sunfire Sedan in my town, it was quite the sight.
we've got a "00 cobra r" in town... it's a black convertible 6 cyl w/ the full cobra r body kit and hood

last october at or JBO meet, a guy showed up with a 2.2 OHV sunfire GT-R with a broke ass body kit and part of a broken 3rd gen eclipse's carbon fiber hood riveted onot to his stock metal hood hahahaha that was a good one. ANd the guy ran his mouth non stop about how great the car was because he rigged together a turbo kit
