Those are sweet! They look just like fan blades... I think they are probably the same design just a different lug/offset pattern for the mn12's

I like them. I think they looks better than the Cobra Rs.

Thanks man.  I think they look like they belong on the T-bird a little more than the R's did.

No its still there!  Argh. 

I mentioned it in another thread, but I noticed tonight a chattering sound from the rear of the car when starting to move forward.  I have also noticed there is a pretty loud "clunk" when going over bumps, etc and I used to hear a clunk when I had the AOD and would go into reverse.

I'm wondering if its all interconnected.  I've always attributed the noise to the poly bushings in the CHE control arms.  Now I am contemplating going back 100% stock with Moog TC-spec springs I have laying around to see if it helps.

Here is a side profile pic a took tonight.  I do like the fact that the wheels are set in more than the Cobra R's (especially in the front).  I may look into some spacers to bring the rears out a tad.



Overall I'm really digging the new look though.
