For awhile I thought my whilte/gold stripe combo was unique. But I've seen a few of them around.

But, I think my wheels so far make mine unique.

What would happen if you painted your wheels black and made the inserts on the spoke gold for sort of a hurst look?

Could be pretty classy

Don't see too many S197's with a shaker installed. I've never seen one around here in the 2.5 years I've had mine.
Plus my skeleton pony on the front grill.



And then there's my engine bay...

Interesting that you mention that. The car that is the inspiration for me, is the first Hurst Mustang... the Pace Car.





My future plans for the car will make it more and more like the Hurst Mustang pace car.... reverse stripes, white leather interior, some different body mods.... then I'll definitely be in this category of Unique S197s I haven't decided on whether or not I'll go gold on the inserts.... just have to wait and see.

Here's mine. The uniqueness is very subtle on my car.

Exterior wise, I did little. Just the Shelby spoiler ($99 including paint), the vinyl blackout on the back, chrome tail pipes, covers on the mirrors and the 18 inch polished Bullitts.

I have no mechanical mods (except a strut tower bar). The mods are mostly in the interior, and pretty hard to notice, as most is retrofitted. I have:

-Honda S2000 start button
-chromed Ford Fusion door grommets
-interior chrome door handles from Ford Taurus
-chromed bezel around auto shifter
-Ford Racing illuminated door sill Mustang script
-retrofitted Ford DVD headrests (I have sooo much more peace and quiet in the car now!!)
-retrofitted nav unit
-Bullitt steering wheel
-retrofitted ambient lighting
-one touch turn signals
-one touch rear windows
-blue gauge faces
-my own e-brake boot
-shelby e-brake handle
-retrofitted power passenger seat
-retrofitted heated seats
-interior has been changed from dove grey to charcoal black
-rear camera mirror (camera in the trunk keyhole)

I have everything to change the colour of the interior. The interior is now completely black, unlike the photos that still show the grey seats and carpet. Most of the parts are courtesy of KC.

I will say that the biggest pain was changing the entire dash, as the whole thing had to be pulled out.

Mine is unique because it is mine! LOL Only thing I have done is change out stock bullitts for 18" Bullitts I bought for $400. All other mods see below.

Did the front end pillar black-outs and painted the bottom of the bumper to emulate a C/S. Not much, but I think it changes the front end just enough for me.

I love those mods. If my car wasn't black I would have done the same

D'prived: I was at the SCOA Nationals a couple of weeks ago and one of the guys was talking about how much he liked skulls and what he wanted to do to one of his cars. I couldn't remember your handle to save my life, 'cuz I really wanted him to see what you've done.
