Well, look at my headlights and see if you like them. I have pics in my garage on here. They are smoked clear corners, but still retain amber signal bulbs.

Devons front end looks totally different from my car, and it's really all because of the lights/delete.

I suppose that'll be cheaper.

And yea, I like my hood too, but I'm dying to have something different from what I've been staring at visually since I got the car *aside from the free wheels I got earlier this summer*

I'd actually like a hood that is smooth. Almost like a 99/01 Cobra hood w/o the rear facing scoop, or like mine w/o the forward facing scoop. Like a smooth hood *like the S197's have, but w/o the line right up the middle*

You know i was going to buy one of those originally, but I could never make up my mind which style I wanted, so I decided to wait until one of my old bulbs burns out lol. I think I like the chrome, then I think, maybe the blue would look better lol.

this^^

^^that. You could spray tint the headlights yourself after you clean it up, also you could lower it a bit and maybe stick some 1" spacers on your rear wheels to lose the tucked in look.

I'd clean up those fogs too, but they're a bitch to take off, you can use a torx bit or a small hex socket (6mm or 8mm I forget..) with an extension.

But if it's the hood that's really getting to you, by all means go that route.

btw, I like your cobra wheels

Thanks, I VERY rarely use the fogs, so I suppose tinting them in some manner is also an option.

I guess I'm just bored with the front end of my car and am looking to change something. Headlights, a grille delete, and maybe tinting the fogs is an option.

On another note, has anyone ever taken out their fake scoops *hood/sides* and had them finished in a gloss black?

Are you referring to the fake honeycomb inserts?

72MachOne99GT · 09-15-2009, 03:06 PM

Yea, I'm curious how they would look glossed instead of sort of faded like they do now.

Same for the Mach 1 spoiler and side scoops.

I don't mean a smooth finished gloss, just an always wet look finish, if there's such thing.

devongarver · 09-15-2009, 03:20 PM

Hmmm would some clear laquer maybe do the trick?

boduke0220 · 09-15-2009, 04:03 PM

get new headlights too lol
