Get your flame suit ready.

IMHO the black hood and blackout headlightslook fine, but the side scoops and blacked out taillights look ricey...

My thoughts exactly, that's easily undone. :LAUGH: :LAUGH:

The hood is nice.

LNCHBOX · 07-16-2007, 09:29 PM

Hood looks great. Headlights aren'tmy style, but the tails look good. Sidescoops and door handles need to be red again ASAP. Then your car will look great (to me). Liking the rims a whole lot though. Overall, I approve.

Hood rocks, ala old school Mach style

the rest I could do w/o if you were going to paint the scoops on the side, I would have spent the $ and shaved them ala Bullitt

Mach1Fury03 · 07-17-2007, 05:22 AM

knew every1 wouldnt like it but i gotta say i love it.

Just1More · 07-17-2007, 10:08 AM

I like the hood and I haven't seen anyone paint in front of the grill delete either which is a different touch. As for the rest, personally not my thing but just remember in the end as long as you're happy with it that's all that counts.

Mach1Nut · 07-17-2007, 10:28 AM

I'm not feeling the side scoops or door handles, but the hood looks excellent. Also, if you got the honeycomb panel between the tail lights it would complete the look in the back.

Agreed! Yeah but with that being said, I hope you like the way your car ended up cause that is all that counts anyway.

E-MACH · 07-20-2007, 02:16 PM

Love the hood treatment. Gotta pass on the other touches though. I wanted to do my hood this way, but that little voice in my head says I'll be sorry later when I sell it. Enjoy your ride sir!

cobramach1 · 07-20-2007, 02:32 PM

I don't mind the hood and door handles, but don't care for the side scoops and taillights the way they are. Just my opinion though. I still prefer the stock look myself though. The only exterior change I'd like to make is an older cobra front bumper to get rid of the ridge for the front license plate since I don't have one on my car.

You're right about the appearance of cleaning up the front clip, especially sans license plate. I wish Missouri didn't require that darn front plate. US Law enforcement's desire to ID vehicles... I'm surprised ALL states don't mandate a front plate. It hurt me drilling holes in that clean bumper.

yeah I got a $75 ticket last week for no front plate...

bullitt784 · 07-22-2007, 10:31 AM

hood looks really good. how much would just the hood cost?

STREET BULLY · 08-05-2007, 11:59 AM

Love the hood, but the other things painted black needs to be Torch red.

Braceyaself · 08-10-2007, 05:12 PM

vpMach1 · 08-13-2007, 12:01 PM

I have my hood painted also. Your gonna want to put a clear coat on it. Trust me...watch out for bug juice.

Chirp 3rd · 08-15-2007, 04:38 PM

I like the hood, but every thing else isn't my cup of tea. I also think it would look a little better if you pulled your exhaust tips back some.
