New body

Ok im thinkin bout really changin up the body. Rims will be the saleen replicas (black or hypercoated) tinted head an tail lights and windows. Thinkin cobra rear bumper (smooth) no spoiler, mach 1 grille delete, cobra bumper+ chin spoiler. And either termi hood or 3"cowl hood to top things off. All badges will be taken and all holes filled. What do yall think??

sounds good, I'd go with the cowl hood. Looks viscious with the cobra bumper. the saleen wheels are my personal favorite. I like a lot of them, including especially the BBK RS's, but they're hella expensive if you can find them, so I think i'm going chrome saleens


My plans are: cobra front bumer with trim piece, mach 1 hood and shaker setup over a blown 4v motor, cobra mirrors, bullitt rocker panels, mach 1 C Pillars

The only thing though is that the saleen rims are heavy. I read somewhere that one saleen rim with a 275 tire weighed aroubd 65-70 lbs?

Do you really care? Unless you are doing some kind of competative racing then go for it for the look.

BBS RK Plasmas, hella expensive and no longer made

and for the cowl hood, this should pretty much sum it up:

if you can find them, expect $300-500/wheel at least. They're astonishingly high!

Lighter wheels can make a pretty big difference even in spirited driving. When I switched from 18x9 (~28-29lbs if memory serves) Black Chrome Mach 1 wheels to my current 18x8.5(~19lbs)/18x10 (~20lbs) BBS RKs (sorry no plasma) I was able to feel a difference for the better.

XXR 521 Wheels? I think the 18x10s are ~22lbs.

I'd like to see another color besides black. I also wouldn't mind seeing the 'XXR 526' wheels on a Mustang.
