RE: 96 GT project thread *PICS*
okay so for the top off of that website ive got two options
CHRYSLER SAILCLOTH VINYL
and
HAARTZ PINPOINT VINYL
I couldnt find that cobra stuff, but i will try to go to a shop and see... The rear window is glass so i believe i can re-use it so that main top is only 135$, but the headliner (needed) is another 180...
Has anyone used or have any preferance to either of the above cloths? thanks

First off Black on Black on Black looks absolutely GAY!!!! You need to get some descent wheels that will shine, not black ones that you can't see! Euro fogs are all over Ebay for $80 brand new. You can pick up a shifter for about $125, but just so you realize, my car was mint all stock when I got it. I put in a complete new stereo, new rims, new exhaust, shifter, bunch of other small things here and there. No engine mods and I'm surfacing $3k. I'll never do it again to a mustang. They suck for power. You need tons of money to make these things move and they don't even have t-tops anymore. I hate verts. I just don't like people lookin at the back of my head, makes me feel uncomfortable for some reason, no I'm not funny looking either.lol To do everyhting you want done will cost you 10grand guranteed. I'm not talkin back yard paint job, why would you do that when you put lots of money into your car! Ohh by the way you cannot re-use your glass in the back! Even if you cut it out somehow and it's in there real good, most aftermarket tops won't fit the factory glass. It's on purpose!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck!

first off i like the black on black on black... i cant turn my head without seeing a mustang with chrome wheels (looks nice but still)
Second i got the car for 1300 rims and tires will be another 1200, plust a top 400, and paint 1000... thats around 4000 dollers for a car i can customize the way i like... worth it maybe, maybe not, but thank for the input
I do like convertables i dont have weird phobias of people checking out the back of my head.
As for the glass in the back. I can reuse it so "look it up"
But thanks for the overal negative input... much appriciated.

Looks like a fun project, wIsh I was mechanicly inclined to do things myself! I don't think you should go with black rims, I think they look like spares. Here in So Cal, almost every other mustang and car on the road has black rims, it's the most trendiest thing you can do to a car now a days. But hey your car, your money. Turbo maybe?????
