98 Stock, fix and keep cervinis, or other

Even if you don't want to post your input or opinion, take a second to place a vote. I was expecting to get more than 20 votes in this community. Thanks to everyone that has voted and posted thus far.

I bought a 98 cobra vert a few months ago with a cervinis stalker kit on it already. It has a lil bit of damage on the front passenger side from scraping, drivers side side skirt is cracked and being held together with staples, ha, and passenger side is warped and looks ugly, and the rear is in great condition minus a scratch.
Should I fix the front, replace the sides and keep that look? Should I go with an overall different kit (recommendations?), or should I take her back to stock?
I know it is ultimately up to me on what I like and the direction I want to go but I want everyones opinion here. I believe I know how this poll will end up. Thanks in advance. Heres some pics of her.

I'd personally take it back to the stock look. Hopefully the paint is okay under the side skirts and door molding. Who knows what they used to adhere it. I've heard some nightmare stories about Liquid Nails used.

The car doesn't look too bad the way it is, but I just lover the stock Cobra fascia with the fogs. BTW, I like those Steeda Ultra-Lites!!!

I'm not trying to be a d!ck but if you're putting some money into it, swap out the tail lights for stock and re-align the side Cobra badge. He looks wasted!

Back to stock. Or if you want go Saleen. If I were to do any body modifications it would be a full Saleen conversion. But honestly the stock 96-98 Cobra body and hood look sick. Pair it with a s281 wing and you have sex on wheels.

You ever check out ABC exclusive Front Cobra Bumper With Lip..its something different if you want to go that route. There are some pics on another forum of a gt with it on, but I am not sure on the rules here on posting links to other forums.

Yea the kit thats on it now has pieces on the door itself and I think its gonna mess up the paint when I peel them off. The tool that had it before me put thos ugly CF look tails on, ugh. I have GTO covers on her now to hide them until I get stock ones.
Thanks for the compliments. Is my cobra drunk? Im gonna have to take a closer look and fix that for sure.

I really like the s281 wing also. Im tryin to find a Kaenen.

Trade me for my Saleens!

I actually like the Cervini's side skirts quite a bit. I'd keep those.

The bumpers though I would change back to stock.

The thing I always disliked about the Saleen/Cervini's sideskirts, was that you san see where the door stops and skirt starts. They just look tacked on there to me. Wish they made them blend a little better where the top meets the door
All this is coming from a guy who rocked the Xenon skirts for a while. LOL

replace the front with stock, fix the side skirts and keep the rear, the only thing I dont like about the rear is the lack of the word COBRA on the back, I think it would really finish the whole look, the rear blends better from the side then the stock which is a few inches too high

i say back to stock, and keep the wheels!!! ive only seen one cobra in my area that ever had the steeda wheels. i just wish they made a 18x10 for the rear...

good point there and no, no trade sir.

Well the sides aren't fixable. I'd have to replace them. I was thinking about finding stock black sides at a yard to save a lil cash but then I'd have to remove that door piece and like I said before I think there's gonna be damage when i pull them off. rrrr, dilema.

Thanks for the compliments and damn you for pointing out that steeda doesn't make a 18x10! The guy I bought it from said it was an 18x10 rear and 18x9 front. I never look it up until just now and sure enough I can't find an 18x10. So I guess I got 18x9.5?
