Pick a set up for my S197

[cobra_4]

So I've got several ideas together for what I want to do with my 08 apperance wise but I just can't figure out which one would look the best.
Below is the car as it sits now. When the car is finished it will have different wheels on it. They will be either a FR500 style wheel, Parnelli Jones Saleen wheels, or some sort of Shelby wheel.

These are the parts I am putting on the car regardless of which way I got with it.
Roush Grille

Silver Horse Racing Quarter Vent Louvers

Agent 47 Race Mirrors

Steeda Chin Spoiler in Black

California Special Rear Bumper

And a set of headlight splitters like the Saleen cars have.

Now for Look Number 1
Add no stripes, decals or paint to the car. Paint the Agent 47 Mirrors. Add a GT500 rear wing.

Bascially going with the clean look.
For Look Number 2 I would be keeping the same painted spoiler I have and adding Saleen Heritage stripes to the side. Also I would leave the Agent 47 Mirrors black.

For Look Number 3 I would be going a little more old school and painting the hood a semi gloss black. Also still running the black mirrors and Saleen Heritage stripes. I would also paint the rear spoiler to match the hood.
For Look Number 4 I would go completly old school. Adding everything in look number three. Plus a set of rear window louvers and a hood pin kit.

So which would you do?

less is more, but a CS bumper would look good on your car. Instead of all that crap though, why not a gt500 conversion front, and bigger wheels, maybe black DD bullits?

I don't wanna make it something that it isn't.

I meant I didn't wanna make it into a GT500/Cobra.

Old school is cool! I voted #4 and add:
Definatley a GT 500 Rear Wing
Yes to the strips
GT500KR Wheels!!!!!!!! or the Shelby Razor's!!!!
Yes to the chin Spoiler, quarter vents, mirrors, headlight splitters
And a GT500KR hood. The one with dual scoups in front

 

[mooch29]

options 2 and 4 combined!

option 2.dont clutter it up.

 

[WeeZee]

Save the cosmetic money and put it in the motor, keep it stock looking

Yeah or go with the GT500 conversion. I'd keep it simple. Tint, rims, splitters and that's about it.

Dont go overboard most every S197 I see just gets overdone.

I think it was hard to beat my old GT/CS makes me want to pull the hood stripe on the racecraft & have the wing removed.

 

[silverstang23]

don't add the headlight splitters. GT500 rear spoiler. Instead of the agent 47 mirrors, just paint the mirrors that are on it now.

 

[SVT03Chris]

IMO I wouldn't add the Agent 47 mirrors. I would just paint your ones that are on their now. Add the CS rear bumper. The grille would look good. Also the Chin spoiler from CDC. Maybe even throw some clear corners up front.

Here is a pic of my old 06 Redfire to give you an idea with the CDC chin spoiler and clear corners.

 

[Redmustang47]

dont do head light splitters, and if you do the louvers i would take a look at roush.

 

[sam92lx]

roush wing, vent louvers, 20" saleen wheels (chrome).

 

[Sonic03SVTCobra]

neither BLOWER

 

[Blown_By_You]

GT500 bumper is the BEST looking bumper possible for an s-197....

 

[STG]

Heritage stripes = +3.2 MPH

Agent 47 Ricer Mirrors = +4.76MPH

Louvers = +1.87MPH

Splitter = 5.3MPH

Rear quarter window stick-on blind spots = +2.4MPH

Flat black hood = +1.28MPH

Parnelli Jones wheels = +.04MPH


Tacky end result = Priceless!:dancenana:

I have a set of the Saleen Gurney edition wheels. Check them out and if you like them make me an offer... They're brand new without tires
