99-04 Saleen Underhood Dress up.
So I am looking for a little advice here. I am thinking of puttling a little bit of "bling Bling" under my 04 Vert. My Wife needs to get me something for X mas and I can't talk her into the Supercharger Intercooler or Brake upgrade just yet. I am looking at the UPR products for the following:
Stainless Radiator Cover, Fuse Box Cover, Radiator Cap Cover, Power Steering Cap Cover, and Windshield Washer cover.
Anybody done these for there 99-04 car and do you have some pictures I can see? How is the quality at UPR? Do you reccomend anyone else I should look at andwhere is the best place to buy this type of stuff? I show the car a few times a year and so I just want to neaten it up a little bit. Do you think that is too much? Not enough? Feedback and opinions is what I am looking for. I am not looking to go totaly chrome underhood just some specific pieces that will help to dress it up a little.
I am also thinking of SA10 Chevrons for the front fenders. Any thoughts on that? Do you know where I can get those?
Thank you,
Peace

You could always talk her into a big air MAF (which you'll need soon anyway if you plan on more mods..), some bigger injectors,or that tonneau cover that Polk pitched as a suggestion to A1Saleen...
I personally don't prefer all the shiny stuff in an engine. I'd rather spend the money on something to increase performance or functionality.....but then again I drive my car more than I take it to shows...so maybe you're in a different boat.
PS-this is for an 05 mustang...but this will give you an idea how it would look:

lol, I know the hours of detailing aren't as fun as they were when I was younger and had more time to dedicate to it. I keep it pretty clean for the most partso it will be minimal and Sowaxxmen has reccomended a product called CD-2 that I think will help. I also want the mods as well so I agree with that. I will see. That picture you sent me is from the UPR Catalog/website right? I like it but again still on the fence.

Mills do you have that? I assume that is a direct replacement for the plastic resevoir that is on the car now right? Its all aluminum and you can see the welds? Where can I see a picture of that?
Thanks btw.

LFP Ice Box.....on a Cobra.
I don't have one on mine. I'm still partial to the flat black reservoir look with the Saleen logo on it.
I'm pretty sureHollywood has one on his. Regarding actual coolingpotential, I can't imagine that's it's better than a good H/E upgrade (unless you're running ice in it at the tracK). Hollywood really knows his way around these though.....he could probably provide better/more objective information.

I like that Mills, thank you. I too am partial to the Saleen/Ford Black one as well but that one from LFP looks pretty sharp. How is the Intercooler that you have in your E car? I am thinking of the one that Chicane has that goes under the blower as my next big mod in the spring. Do they do anythng differently on the E Cars?

ExtremeSaleen (haven't seen him post on here in a while) use to own a 2002 Extreme (#12) and had this done. However,he had to rebuild his motor and I only ever saw the numbers he posted after the rebuild and added mods were completed.
