The light bar for sure. Then you could do side mirrors that are paint matched like the 03/04 cobra's. There are always rims and tires. For the inside all the aluminum knobs that you could ever want. Even dress up parts for under the hood. Trust me that there is a plethora of bling parts for our cars.
But remember one thing: It's and addiction and once you start you can't stop!:)

Oh I know...my eyes are already getting bigger than my bank account. Unfortunately I have to be a little more frugal than I would like at the moment because the stock market has taken a massive nose dive the last few days and my portfolio looks like crap so I don't have as much free cash anymore lol.

As for the aluminum knobs, would that really look good w/ my tan interior? I've seen every possible aluminum/chrome interior accessory I could ever want, yet I'm just not sure if it would look good with my interior??

I know there are a ton of things most people here wouldn't be fond of. My husband even laughed (especially since this was supposed to be his car in the first place) but I told him I'm the one that has to live with it. And I'm not going to do anything to the car that I can't change back if I hate it (or if a potential future buyer hates it)

Believe it or not, these are the taillights I really really like
1999-2004 Clear/Chrome LED Tail Lights W/Reflectors

But I've never seen them on anyone's car ever...and I'm not entirely sure they'll even fit on the cobra. I've found that there are soooo many led and led-style tail lights that simply won't fit on the cobra.



Thank you. I do love her and the more I look at her in my garage the more attached I get. Almost makes me not want to do ANYTHING to it at all.


Please don't put those on a Cobra, the amber tails are a Cobra signature and those taillights just look ricey IMO.


Edit: And I really should learn to read the whole thread before replying.... ::facepalm::

haha, ok ok, I get that pretty much everyone on here hates them. I'll not do it. I don't even think they fit cobras anyhow.

What about headlights though? Are the cobra headlights unique to the car or are there some good suggestions for those? I just want to make the car stand out a little more rather than just having a white vert. Like I've said before, white is just, well it's not my color (again, was supposed to be a car for the husband hence why I bought white since that's what he likes) so I need to break it up a bit.

Yea the tail lights are what makes our mustangs stand out. As far as headlights, tinted. But deff get the light bar. It will deff add to the look of a vert.

Wow 6 pages? Not sifting through that, which page did you post pics of you on?

Haha beautiful car, of course. Once you're ready to do performance mods, I recommend 4.10 gears. It really makes a difference.

My sister is going to CO springs next week, word...

G/l with the modding, congrats on the purchase

So if I did blue rally's, a light bar, tonneau cover, "Cobra" eyebrow, sfc's, and cobra valve stem covers....could I live without getting too much chastising?? :p

i would say for headlights, get some HID's- they look bad ass...taillights, stay stock but if u want the white/black theme then get them tinted, as well as your rear side blinkers, then get black COBRA insert letters for the rear bumper. they look bad ass_but get the metal ones not vinyl- check americanmuscle.com-i got the black chrome ones, definately the light bar-get that first...youll see that every time u put the top down- u wont use the hard tanneu much-just a pain to take on/off. thats a once in a while thing. add that last. aluminum pedals add a nice touch... if you really want to make the appearance of your car stand out... rims and tires... period... nothing ghetto, but nice wide 18's in the rear and a little narrower 18's in front...all chrome/ or black depending on your look.

I definitely don't want to go w/ the black/white theme. I love the look of the white cobras with black tops but my top is tan. My interior is tan. So no more black. If anything, I want as much of it to be clear/white that I add. I already have silver Cobra inserts on the rear bumper. And because I want to go with blue rallies, I really need to limit the amount of black I put on the car. Because it's already white with tan and silver.

Haha! There's nothing in WY!! My dad is from there and I've been through it many many times...every time I drive home in fact...there's NOTHING there ...except for a lot of wind and tumbleweeds :p

Welcome to the forum! Great looking Cobra, I'm glad you are interested in modding it! Definitely lower it asap. :)

Just a side note, if you want people to talk about your car and not you, change your profile pic and don't post pictures of yourself. There are some decent guys on this forum who will give you helpful advice but for the most part they're assholes. :beer:

meh, I'd say what was on my mind but I might get accused of trying to pick you up again lol wouldn't want that!

If you aren't trying to pick her up what has been the point of your 8 pages of flirting/leg humping? :bored:

You're married. Act like it. :nonono:

haha, honestly it was all just banter. I didn't mind it at all. I'd rather have a place I feel like I can come to, to be social too and not just use this forum purely for when I have car questions :)

Well, I mind it. I don't think someone who is married needs to be acting like that. It's highly inappropriate.

We don't talk strictly cars here, that's why there is the Road Side Pub forum. That is for most any topic to be discussed.

Sorry about that. Questions about my car have strayed a bit but I've tried to keep it at things related to the car. Things people bring up in their comments have tended to remind me about things I wanted to ask in relation to mine.

No need for you to be sorry, you didn't make him say anything. :dw:

I just wanted to let you know that when you have pictures of yourself up the guys here will have a hard time talking about your car. You seemed to be wondering why they couldn't stay on topic in a few of your posts. That's the reason. :beer:

Umm...if I'm entirely honest, I'm probably going to take advantage of my gender in this case. It gets my questions answered quickly lol. I'm not a gearhead by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, I'm lucky that I know how to change my own oil and tires. But I definitely want to learn...and if being a female makes people more willing to want to teach me then I shouldn't neglect that obvious advantage...
