Default Replicating 93 cobra

I am trying to make my 88 GT look and pretty much BE a 93 svt cobra, i pretty much know what has to be done to make that happen, however i am having trouble finding parts. manely body parts. from what i can tell the bumpers are different and i think the side skirts are as well and i know the spoiler is. If anybody could help me find parts(preferably new) and post links to then or something it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure how it affects the moldings, but pre 1991 cars have smaller front wheel well openings. Go to latemodelresto.com, they have the stuff.

cervinis makes a legit cobra body kit as well, little pricey but better than finding a used and expensive real 93 cobra body parts, imo

if you plan to use anything other than cervini, or harwood.....

just make it yourself with a chainsaw...everyone else is PURE JUNK !!!!!

+1000 on cervini... beautiful 'glas and worth every penny

also , i know you said "true cobra" but check out cervini "stalker" package..pretty cool kit

and yes, compared to your '88 the cobra stuff you need over your GT kit is everything but the door moulding. in '91 when the wheels went to 16" they redesigned the wheel opening and dumped the scoops too for the cobra.

Thank you guys for the help. I have seen the other kits however, the school i go to is building this car and we are trying to run the car in a stock class as a "Cobra" We can do this if the car looks and acts the part. So everything has to be as close to Cobra original as possible.

Again, thanks for your help.

I have a glass cobra r hood and decklid from cervini's. The body shop that painted my car said that the hood and decklid were some of the nicest ones they had worked with. They said that they had to do very little work to get them ready for paint and that they fix as good as the originals.
