Default 99 GT turning into a Cobra clone..

Maybe Ill get bashed for this but oh well...
Just got my Mustang today and I'm thinking about turning it into a Cobra clone (maybe a terminator). It has a 32valve out of an 03 Cobra and I'm supercharged so technically, I have the power to back it up (443hp to be exact). The car also already has a Cobra R hood, 03 Cobra seats, T56 Cobra Tranny, Cobra wheels... I'm looking at changing just the front/rear bumpers and possibly the wing, if I decide to go terminator.

Anyone else out there done this conversion? I'm looking for any tips, pointers and advice...

Thanks

Hood and bumper I can see, but that would be it. What else is done to the car? Gears, Long Tubes, etc? Photobucket and post pics!

I have a very long list of mods, I just got the car today so Im still getting aquainted... It does have headers, H pipe with cats, magnaflow...

As far as the interior goes, just the seats have been swapped out, everything else is stock GT. Im starting to think that I should try to make it look like a 99 Cobra since the car is a 99. Plus, it would be cheaper since I wouldnt have to change the wing or mess with fog lights! It looks like I can get both the front and rear bumper for under $500 shipped, then I just gotta get them installed and painted.

I will post some pics on sunday, Im working all week!

Sounds like you found one hell of a car. You wont get bashed here until you badge it like a Cobra, and then try to convince us its a Cobra....other than that, i vote for the '03 bumpers.....they always were my favorite. i had a friend that switched bumpers, it wasnt hard to do...if i remember correctly, he just had to mod some existing holes/brackets, so it shouldnt be bad at all.
