IMO its not worth the time or money sell the gt and buy a mach1 or cobra. if your going for looks....
99-2001 - 2003/2004 Cobra
Front Bumper
Fog Lights
Side Skirts
Rear Bumper
Wheels
Emblems
Spoiler
Interior ( Gauges, seats, etc)
i think side scoops not sure tho.

Mach 1 2003-2004
Mach 1 shaker
Rims
Front Lip
Emblems
Interior ( Gauges, seats, etc)
i think side scoops and side skirts not sure tho.

If your going for a complete swap...
99/2001 - 2003/2004 Cobra
IRS
Cobra Motor 4v Supercharged and ECU / Wiring Harnesss
Things listed above

Mach 1 2003-2004
Mach motor 4v N/A
and things listed above.

Total Spent for cobra makeover - $10,000+
Total Spent for mach 1 makeover - $7000+

my buddy was gonna do a cobra conversion in a 91 fox and after he got all the estimates it was around the same ballpark to just get a terminator...if you're serious about wanting a cobra just save up and trade in your gt for a cobra

No sir. Coupe only.

And to the guy who asked about the conversion...I'd say you would need one very nice snake skinned wallet.

its not that big of a deal, i just spent 6400 for a 2003 mach1 crate motor i put it into a 97 gt i had to get a computer ($385) the motor comes complete it bolted right to my motor mounts and tranny, and exhaust. the only trickly part is the wiring harness some plugs dont connect the same so u have to which the plugs but it was a two day project and went smooth
