Warning: NOT A FOX.

Even though I sold my TC in January and bought this SN95 3 days later, I still lurk on this site everyday.  I enjoy it much more than any SN95 forums I've come across.  We really do have something awesome here.  Just thought I'd check in with some things I've been doing to the Cobra to gear up for the local show.  Here's some before pictures:

And here's how it looks now.  It has a Steeda Tri-Ax, no lers, and a custom CAI.  It was repainted in Feb/March.  I put Cobra inserts in the bumber and tinted the tails black, installed clear corners, put a Cobra in the grille, installed a temperature guage, painted the calipers, and painted/polished the hell out of the engine.  Spring cleaning is the best.

Looks fantastic man. IMO, she needs some springs. I've got the Eibach pro-kit in mine and it sits decent and rides nice still. (clicky in my sig)

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

That car sits great!  I've been debating between the pro-kit and Sportlines.  I almost prefer handling performance to straight line performance, but the price of the pro-kit and it's stance is incredibly tempting.

Handing>Straight line since it is a DD. Looks great man, really like the tails. The covers would have looked nice body color but blue isnt bad. Ive got a lot of cleaning planned for the SHO once I get it for a show the STLSHO club has a group in the end of July. Love the out come, hate the time it takes.

Eventually they'll be Laser Red.  There was just no way to match them and clashing shades of red is something I did not want.  Plus I have blue plug wires.  Down the road (when the SC comes, perhaps) I'll get them powdercoated along with the intake.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!
