I bought this car back in October of last year and have slowly started making it the way I had envisioned a perfect cobra. It definitely is not done yet but its getting there! Hope yall enjoy the pics, they were all taken with my iphone5.

The day I picked it up in Dallas, TX

After getting it home and cutting one full coil out of each spring (the bumper letters were air brushed on and looked hideous!)

This was after swapping out the Borla cat back for a new magnaflow system, had the rear bumper re sprayed, and swapped out the license plate frame.

And I took these pictures today after having the windows tinted 10% all the way around, rear fenders rolled, and AFS 18" reps with BFG 275's in the front and 335's in the rear

Looks much better. I was hoping those were 17's because I was gonna get rid of my saleens and pic some chrome cobras up. I knew they looked to big though lol.

Future plans?

Looks excellent! Can't wait to see more pics of it. Competition Orange is the best color!

Make me really miss mine! While it is time consuming, polishing the exhaust is one of the best mods for the rear of the car.

Congrats on a beautiful car.

Did you lower it again after the coils were cut the first time? I guess maybe it's the wheels but it looks lower with the new rims for sure.

Nice ride!
