Default Cobra Bumper SVO side exhaust?

Ok, so my plans of building an old car again have started to diminish because of the amount of work vs. time since I'll be in grad school next year. The car is done except the want of a new stronger transmission and since I need to get my paint touched up I figure it's time to do exactly what I want.

This is my list
Cobra front Bumper
SVO side exhaust/skirts

New wheels. I love the chrome but I think the black wheels looked better on my car. I'll only ever buy 18's again but IDK which ones.

I may also have the car repainted to 100% black but that's major "Might".

What do you guys think?

Yea, I'm also pondering the Cobra bumper myself.
Just wondering if it should be OEM or aftermarket, I dunno

I guy I know, just got the Duraflex bumper ($250 shipped) he said there was only one imperfection in the entire bumper and that was under the headlight so you can't even see it. I wanted to kick it to see if it would crack but I don't think that would have went over very well, lol.



Too be clear, I've been think about this for a long time and not just since he got his done, lol.

Man I love those single cowl hoods. I say go for it, but I'm not sure about painting the entire car black... that's actually one things I've always liked about your car... it wasn't black.
