I like the gunmetal colors too, grey, silver, metal flake, really cool, but maybe you want to stick w something that will blend w the door jams and engine bay. Maybe a dark red, cabarnet red is what was on my car originally. Its painted a maroon paint now, basically matches the door jams etc.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of strips on a fox body. Why not white or black with a set of FR500's?



I think keeping it simple and classy works best on a Fox.

I like black fox's but a black paint job done RIGHT, is a BITCH to keep clean. that's why flat black is my fav.

cool rat-rod style look, yet you dont have to wash the car every three days.

Well how about black/white with;

10th anny's




In Silver



GT500's




Mach 1's



'03/'04 Cobra's




2k Cobra R's





'99/'01 Cobra's



SN-95 Saleen Wheels - Chrome



Silver



If you are going to paint your car, I would go to the trouble to convert to 5 lug. Ford Racing and Saleen make awesome wheels that have very desirable OEM look IMO. To each their own though.

You don't need to do a whole upgrade to the braking system. You can find kits like this on ebay for a good deal. -> Click <-

I'd do the paint with a set of wheels in mind because they really go hand in hand. If you can't afford a five lug conversion and wheels at the moment, then you should definitely paint the car and hold off on the rest for the time being. Also I wouldn't recommend buying any set of wheels brand new, be patient and you kind find a good deal on a nice used set of the wheels you want.

But again, I really recommend going five lug if you want to upgrade wheels. There are just so many more choices. All the available 4 lug wheels are played out for the most part. I didn't originally go five lug when I upgraded my wheels, regretted it and now I'm probably going to take a $200 hit on the authentic FR '95 Cobra R's for sale in my sig.
