She's beautiful, before and after! What protectant/products are you going to use to keep her gorgeous? I JUST took possession of a black 98 SVT Cobra 'vert and feel that Meguiar's are the products I should use on her.

I was going to, but the longer i thought about it i decided to go with this to be a little different. i didn't want to do the deck lid, i just wanted the spoiler. i always have that option later.

the day i picked her up, as soon as i pulled out it was running bad, idled fine, but as soon as i gave her gas it would break up bad then clear up if i stomped on it. i was mad as hell thing what did this shop do with my car!!! got back to the house, looked everywhere for a vacuum leak or something along those lines. i don't know what made me touch it. but as soon as i placed my finger on the rear heater hose right on the back of the intake. it shot off burning the crap out of me and shot hot *** water everywhere. so i had to come out the pocket for a new intake right after paying for paint. changed the plugs while i was there, are now she runs like a dream again, actually a little better than before.

what do you all think of the oil catch cans? i think i am going to add 1 on, i put it on the PVC coming from the passengers side right? can i put an old school breather on the drivers side?

Good job. But off topic, your top looks like it's cloth. Will you give me your opinion on the top. Is it quieter, easier to maintain, worth the extra cost over vinyl etc. Thanks.

BTW, where in Fla. are you.?

Sorry guys this is my first convertible, the top was installed about a week before i got it. as for sound, my exhaust is crazy loud so cant tell there, but at lights it seems pretty quiet. definitely looks good and is easy to care for.
