well you can go ahead and put the saleen kit on a GT, but you'll have GT emblems on the side, unless you take them off wich will leave holes that dont fill well. also i believe the hood is different. i see GT's with saleen kits and GT emblems on them all the time. dead giveaway. i love the saleen kit, but if i ever put one on my stang, i wouldnt put the stripes or saleen writing on the side.

oh, and also, toyota did make a cavalier, wich were all right hand drive sold in japan. so TRD stickers are like honda emblems on say an integra, yea we know honda's name is on the JDM integra, but yours isn't a JDM, obviously when the easiest giveaway is left hand drive.

I am going to check out a 1987 saleen for sale and i was wondering if anyone knows a way i can find out if it isreally a saleen. Like by the vin#or someother way.The guy who is selling it says it doesn't have the body kit on it any more and that he broke offthe saleen emblem. Alsohe doesn't have the saleen documentation anymore. Alsohe said it ran 12.5 in the 1/4 and is very modded and only wants $3800for it. <edited><editID>metalcrateamp</editID><editDate>37851.0472800926</editDate></edited>

Im building a replica Cobra "R". Eventually Im going to have enough cash into it to put all the necessary parts on it. I was just wondering though, should I leave the cobras off? And tell everyone that its a GT R :P Sounds like a ricer car huh?

get a foxbody saleen they are very affordable prices range from $10,000-$30,000 for fair to excellent cars. I only paid $21,000 for my 93 saleen 1 year agoand it only had 4,200 miles on it. It was like a brand new car!Thats less than a new GT, and you get alot more car for your money. I say get a foxbody saleen!

If you put a GTR Symbol on that mustang I will personally drive to where you are and Beat you over the head with a ricers exhaust pipe. <IMG style="WIDTH: 22px; HEIGHT: 17px" height=24 src=smileys/smiley7.gif width=29 border="0"></P>

Good point. I've considered a simple Saleen body kit but I have no problem telling people that my Saleen 03 Cobra is a replica especially when it smokes most "real" Saleens anyway even without the body kit. Nevertheless, I like the look...real or replica. Afterall, the kit is real. "Real" simply states that it was put together at the Saleen factory which isn't saying much. I've heard many first hand accounts that Saleen customer service absolutely sucks.</P>
