Keep in mind that it would add about 90lbs...for that weight you could add a good bit of sound deadener...

Sorry, but I like the cheese-grater look for some reason...
Just as bad in my opinion, to add GT tail lights on a Notch and your pick of hood too.
You ok... Nothing wrong with a stock looking foxbody

Have you seen this one with the saleen body?(from the timeline) Now this one I can honestly say I love! I have seen a couple notches w/ this spoiler in person though, and it's not all that pretty. It looks good from the side, but it's kinda ugly from the back.

IMO, those wheels help make the coupe in that picture Arin posted look better, but still... the GT ground effects make it look "heavy" or slab-sided or something - don't know the exact words to use, can't really describe it. Plus, the coupe I saw had the 2-tone GT paint job.

Nathan, I think Saleen did produce a few notches - supposed to be pretty rare though. Rather have a hatchback to go with that spoiler, for sure.

Ya, I've heard of the Saleen coupes! pretty awesome!

I found a picture of a two-tone notch w/ gt body kit. I took a picture of it just so you could get the idea. sorry the picture sucks so bad. it's after 3am! It's from The Pocket Book of the Mustang by Peter Henshaw. It's on page 282!

I actually kind of like it

Wow that one looks awesome with the 99 wheels and 2001 spoiler.

If i were going to do a conversion i'd do it with the cobra kit instead. cobra rear looks better since it has cut outs for exhaust.

I like the saleen kit on the notch, lose the spoiler, and now were talking!! If a spoiler is really necessary, the 05 mustang spoiler actually looks pretty good on a fox

anyone know if an aftermarket steering wheel can be put in my car... it has the airbag, would it be possible to remove the whole airbag system without messing with the car's electrical system?

If i remember right, 87-93 are the same just 87-89 had tilt wheels.
Look into Grant steering wheels.
Just unplug the Airbags wires (alot of racers start with 90-93 airbag model and just swap out the wheel.)

Scoop on hood is NOT functional.. none of them are besides the "mach1" ram air style.
That hood looks much worst on a Notch body style.

Only hood i would swap a stock one out for is a simple 2.5 cowl !!

Lightbulb Summit Racing fox mustang build

There has been only 1 "notch" i seen that look ok with a body kit, and that was an old "summit racing built-up" you may remember.

Car was two tone silver on top and red on the lower half.
They added a '93 Cobra Rear bumper & Spoiler and side skirts "No GT text" just smooth.. Front is alittle to much for a Notch
