I voted black...on your car the black would blend with more than red. Tires, trim, front splitter, shadowing, etc. Red would only match the taillights, unless they're smoked. Just depends on how much you want them to stick out. I personally think the Red would be a bit "out there" on our color.

Yeah...I just love how the red looks when the car is moving...I will eventually upgrade to the black Cobra brakes. I just want to do this for a few months.

If you like red, try it out for a while. The Cobra brakes come in black, so if you like the look of red over black after you've seen both on your car, make your decision then. BTW, you'll have to let me know how the Cobra kits feel over our shitty stockers. I was thinking about either the Cobra kit or Baer's kit.

Yeah...I like the Baers kit but I don't like the price...the Cobra conversion is like 400. If I like the red I might get the 40th anniversary Cobra calipers that come in red. I'll post some pics when I'm done...thanks for the replies guys. :banana:

I think blue would go good with your paint. Red also. Black wouldnt be noticed much.

Here's how I did mine:

Thanks.
They're the Roush wheel from last year.
The new one's have a lip.
18 / 9 front, 18 x 9.5 rear with offset.

Nice! Where do you buy Roush wheels? Are generally good wheels (not prone to cracking and don't weigh a ton)?

I got mine here. very good price.
I reeeeeeeeeealy like how it offsets the back wheels.
Like how they fit the body style of the SN95, and they are UNCOMMON.

They dont make them anymore.
As far as them being prone to cracking, I dont know. Had em 3 years, been up to 130mph. no problems.

I would do a color that shows up and looks good but does not clash with your car.My L is red, I did mine red. Looks very good.
