for the overall conversion? It was about 3 months. Took a long time to gather all the parts and get them painted. Then getting the mufflers and exhaust tips, and finding a place to install it all was the hardest.

 

Not sure what kinda rims to get next. Anthacite 18's or Chrome 18's

Take off the stage 3 emblem... I don't recall you installing the roush supercharger

 

I think the chrome ones are too flashy for your vehicle.

 

its Stage3Motorsports.com's company plaque supporting where I got all my parts from. If it was Stage 3 Roush, I would have a 3 next to the ROUSH emblem not above the FORD emblem. :notnice:

 

 

I was thinking the chrome because all Roush's have chrome but I want the bullitts because I want to keep that great look.

 

you should go for FR500 replicas with an 18x9 up front and 18x10.5 in the rear... you can get chrome, anthracite, black, or even just silver.... and with your aggressive body kit the aggressive look to the FR500's would be spectacular. that's just my $.02 though... by the way, looks great. love the red.

 

that is a good point because one of the Roush guys I know just ordered some. Never thought to get those, one more thing to consider.

And actually, www.mustangtuning.com has the cheapest I've seen for FR500 reps. Here's the link to the FR500 page. Hope I can help...

And Right now, there is free shipping on all rims. Go at it!

 

thats awesome. i visit there every once and awhile but forgot they had such a wide selection of wheels. The prices are the cheapest I'v seen. The free shipping is awesome too because thats where the prices really goes up.

 

I'm always on that site looking for when they have free shipping. I wish I had a few extra bucks. I'd be nabbing a sweet set of FR500's in the next few days.

 

FR500s would be sick! go go go!

 

:w00t:

Yes, little smiley. Woot. Woot indeed.

 

 

that FR500 is man **** in wheel form at it's finest...

 

Laer red was avaliable from 94-02 or 03 where it was replaced with the current flame red. The reason they had so much trouble is that laser red is a 3 stage paint (gold base, red tint, clear). I have seen a big variation in the paint from car to car. I had a 99 laser red and a friend has a 01. Her car at night has a pinkish tint to it where mine didn't.

 

OOOhhh, she's sexy!! <3
So, what is that rear bumper that you put on her and where can I find it? I want to route the exhaust on my cobra out the side, but if I do, I'm either going to have to get a new bumper, or run carbon fiber along the bottom edge of the existing bumper to get rid of the cutouts from the old bumper for the current pipes. I'm really not willing to get rid of the current bumper, tho, because I love the Cobra stenciled into it...I'd just like to take that bumper and make a mold of it, possibly, and then put the cobra stencil back into it...hmm, what do ya'all think of that? :scratch:

 

Oh, yea, and how hard was the exhaust to route out the side? And where did you get the pipes with the square shape? That's sweet!!

 

K the answer to question number one you will like. It is the current stock bumper. They are two clips that go over the cut outs covering them. An example of the clip or as they are called "Rear Valances" come in two pieces on for each side. You can get them on the link below the picture.

The second question is the tips are special ones from Roush Racing also found on the link below

Third question about routing the exhaust to the sides. It was not hard but I had to bring pictures to the local shop and show exactly what I wanted because they have never seen this type of setup before. There is only a few companies that make the mufflers you need for this type of exhuast setup. The stock mufflers are Magnaflow that come with the Roush's. Once you have them on you have to be very careful to not knock them out of place because they are lined up perfect with the body kit. You can see in the link to the exhaust tips how they go. I already have had to take my car back to the shop to have them put back in place because i caught them on a high speed bump.


Hope this helps. Ask me anything you want about this setup. I did everything on the car myself except the paint. I have seen a few Roush Cobra's and I have to say they are the best looking Mustangs out there! I'll find some pics of them and post them.
