Default OPINIONS!!!!!!!!

ok I want to put a 5.4 with a turbo in my 02 gt. In all of your opinions could I put cobra badges and cobra front and rear bumper and the interior of a termi cobra in it basically cloning it? i mean i will have more power than a termi so why not just asking for some opinions? also why does the 03-04 cobra back tires look wider than the gt can i get some specs on that. I dont know if anyone remembers but there was a guy who put the cobra bumper on his car but his friend bondoed or shaved the cobra off and it looked nice where can i find that guy to ask some questiones. and last question if i cant put the badges on would it look dumb to shave the cobra off the back bumper and put it on my car with a chin spoiler on the front and a 2.5-3.0 inch cowl hood (the car is all black). please give me your full opinions

Could you put the Cobra badges on, yes you could. Would I, no. I think it is stupid to put GT badges on a V6 or Cobra badges on a GT. If anything I wouldn't put any badges on your ride.

If I were you Id put the cobra body parts on but not badges. Because its still not a cobra no matter how much work you do to it.

Having a car with the wrong badges is like dating a tranny, no matter how big the implants, it's still not a girl

Yeah, Don't do that. The improper badgeing thing is something I always frown upon. If Ford did not deem that car a cobra from the factory it does not have the right to wear those badges.

If you are going to build it, build it as a GT, and be proud that your GT is as a GT not a Fobra.

Using the 03-04 Rear bumper and shaving it so it no longer says COBRA is perfectly acceptable in my book

And yes the 2003 Cobra does have wider wheels/tires they are a 17"x9" wrapped in a 275s on all four corners.

As said above, but in different words.

Be proud of what you have, and make what you have something stronger. Keep the GT, a GT, but TRY to be on top of all GTs .

I would think so, I also love the cobra bumper!

also wont I be on top of the cobra too? i mean the 5.4 is a better and bigger engine
Hard to be "on top" of the cobras. I went to a mustang show with my sisters xbf and his boss had a Stage 3 Roush 08. My sisters xbf got to drive a 03 black Term that was dynoed at 630~. It left the Roush at the light, cobra is defiantly on top, with that power. Anyways.

I have 18x9 wheels but it still doesnt have that wide stance in the back as a cobra does how do i get that look its awsome?
I'm wanting that stance too! How about 265 or 255/35/18 up front and 315/35/18 out back? I'm looking for a picture. Here is one. http://inlinethumb37.webshots.com/42...600x600Q85.jpg Its 315/35/18.
