Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention I do plan on putting power mods in the engine. I'm just still debating if it's going to be a charger or turbo set-up. I also want to try lambo doors to give it that "different" look (and when it gets lowered the doors won't hit the curb or open toward traffic). My father and girlfriend are really looking foward to helping me do the mods. I was also just considering the front bumper, but I really like how the rear of the saleen looks. I notice how this car attracts peoples attention when i'm driving (my girl hates it) probably because of the loud exhaust and rear window scoops. I know my car looks good but it won't win in shows the way it is. I'm just trying to decide what to do to it WITHOUT going overboard.

P.S. I gotta hurry my father is trying to get a 2007 shelby cobra!

you're already halfway there to a saleen if you own a GT. get a blower and body kit and you have a saleen. make sure you PAINT the body kit. i can't stress that enough. you'll probably run into some civic drivers that have red civics with white body kits. regardless of what they tell you, that does NOT make your car look any better or go any faster.

oh, forgot to add. the reason a lot of stangers don't like very many body mods is because our cars actually look pretty damn nice from the factory. like was stated earlier. some window tinting, lowering, and maybe some smoked headlights and you're good to go!

What do you think about these smoked headlights and this bodykit on a coupe?

I don't like body kits and I don't like those scoops you have on the rear windows either.

Sorry.

Who cares what I think anyway. It's your car......enjoy it.

I like the scoops on the rear windows and so does the guy with the V-6 stang sown the street (so if they come up missing I know where to go). But I didn't get them they were already on the car when I bought it.

Some body kits are more cheesy than others. For example, the cervinis stalker kit is cool except for the fact that it says stalker on the rear bumper (and certainly made atleast as well as saleen, in all likelyhood alot better).
Razzi/Xenon/Black Widow/Kaminari kits all kind of take away from the car.
Certainly cobra front ends look good. Even better with splitters imo.
Dont disregard Roush kits either. Other than that, I wouldn't even look at much else. Forget Z3 Fenders, huge wings, or any of that crap.

Thanks! I think that I am going to go with the saleen and maybe a 03-04 Cobra front end! Now that I really look the black widow isn't all that hot.

I look at it this way, I may like my 3.73 and you may like your 4.10. I may like my stock look outside of my car and you may like the show car look. Its all in what YOU like. I would just personally rather spend my money under the hood rather than on the outside. Well at least until I'm satisfied under the hood......which will probably never happen!
