Cobras are just one of those cars you don't need to mess with for styling. Go over to SVT Performance and check them out.

Go to the section "Taste of Home"
then go to the bottom of the page and go to Mid-Atlantic

That car will look good with stripes! If you're not sure, though, then send that picture over to the guys at the "chop shop" section of the forums. Then you'll have a good idea of what it'll look like.
My advise: Go out to pep-boys and get the headlight restore kit. It works quite well! I used it on my Cobra when I first got her, and I'm thinking of redoing it now that I might sell it.

I'm starting to think that black stripes, with dark tint, and black rims would look pretty damn sexy on that car. And even without the stripes, it'd still be nice.
Are your headlights full replacements? If so, that Cobra's gettin first class treatment.

blue stripes, blue calipers.. im tellin you man go for it. If you decide to paint the calipers do what I did and paint the "COBRA" white.. I'll show you..
Also dont use those paintbrush kits. It comes out like ***. Use ablue caliper paint spraycan. Mask off your fender and hood area, you can leave the caliper attached as long as you tape off and mask off things properly withno overspray whatsoever. I used white engineblock paint for the lettering, and I applied it with a spongbrush from a local arts and crafts store. Its the only way to be 100% exact, unless you are really good at masking and razorblading.
