I had thought about doing this to my car.
oh dear, this will not turn out well.
I never saw the front bumper thing done but i have seen the buld number done in polished aluminum in the same script style as the SVT symbol on the back and then put in place of the SVT Symbol. It looked really good, but it was an all custom thing. It might look good. subscribing for pix.
Yeah.....don't do that. I've never liked it, even on Saleens.
Each his own, just don't think it looks very good.
Im doing it just for you honey cause I know how much you dig this stuff ;]
Post pics when you get them on. I've been thinking about this too!
Is this the look you want?
Wow. That stands out a lot.
Is this the look you want?
actually yeah, I like that
Maybe I can elaborate on my distaste of this mod.
1. Your vehicle is not a saleen.
2. Only mustang enthusiasts know what a saleen is
3. Basically nobody knows what a cobra is
4. Even fewer people understand the significance of a number on the front bumper.
So basically, people in the know will think you're trying to make your car look like a saleen, people not in the know will think its a company or rental car or something, and it simply looks a bit ridiculous.
I'm sure you know all this already and don't care, but something to consider.

I do, I dont want my car to look like a Saleen, its not one. I also dont want to waste a lot of money on body mods like most people on here do, but I do want my car to have a few unique things about it. If nothing else it can perhaps server as a number for track days (although pretty sure it will be too small)
I don't own my car for other people's understanding I own it and do things for my own enjoyment and you of all people have started to figure out I dont really jump on bandwagons...
Is this the look you want?
Is it suppose to be side ways like that or is it suppose to be right in front of the headlight even?
No, not supposed to be sidways like that....
That's what I thought. Thanks!
Any time :beer:
Finally..
You are correct, way too small for a track day. For the most part for open track events, you will need numbers on both sides of the car at least 8" high with 1.5" strokes and in contrasting color to car's paint. Stroke is the width of the line of the number itself, not the complete width of the number.
A corner worker has to be able to easily see your car number as your scream by at 15mph or 150mph.
