Finally got around to taking some pictures! :)
So here's my plan for the rear...tell me what you guys think.

Tint the tail lights
Black vinyl "MUSTANG" overlays
Paint the very bottom of the bumper black
And this billet 5.0 emblem in place of the blue ford emblem
MUSTANG-UPR Products.com

How do you think that will look?
Think it will be too much going on?

Thanks a lot for the compliments! :-D

It's a 2.5" exhaust. And I'm pretty sure they're Magnaflow tips.
And now that I look at it they are kind of small...damn. haha

What's the difference between the that SVT emblem and ours?
I wasn't aware there was one! haha

And also, where can you find a black Ford emblem? :shrug:

I really like the way the back looks right now but I like the stock appearance. Black inserts and black on the bottom part of the bumper would be cool though. Id' say leave the tails alone...

To be quite honest, I wouldn't change a thing. It has a very clean, sharp look to it right now. Looks very nice!

Personally, I feel a lot of people go overboard with black themes tinting and painting everything in sight.

First thing I would do if I was you would be clean out your garage so I could park the Cobra inside where it belongs. :-D

Id say paint the tail light bezels black. Kinda go with your wheels. I kicked the idea round of getting the black ford emblem and "svt" in black as well. I think it would look sick.

Actually I tried painting a set of bezels black...
Looked pretty horrible IMO.
hahah

And where would I be able to find a black Ford emblem at?
From what I've heard Ford made everyone stop selling them. haha

if its dark it'll be hard, but with any light the letters will stick out and hopefully help show the color change.
i'm usually only out after dark and most people dont even realize mine changes colors :fm: but oh well =)
op, i'm confused i thot all 5.0s had the horizontal tails??
and it looks great as is, try to find some pics of what you're talking about to get a good idea

I like it. Unique. A deep tint on the windows, particularly the rear window, would pull it all together.
Nice car :rockon:

And that is a good idea!
Time to start searching pictures! hahah

Thank you very much!
Tint is definitely on the way.
Which part did you think was unique?
The ideas I posted or the way it is?

did the early Cobra's say MUSTANG on the rear bumper ? I thought all Cobra's said COBRA on the rear bumper :shrug:

IMO I would tint the taillights and do the bottom area a satin black. Flat will look too gray. The overlays would be too much, and I don't care for the 5.0 oval emblem. That is a sharp lookin car !
