looks to be lowered and i think those are gt-40 wheels they looks sick!! mequirs is good stuff thats all i use but what youll find out is that when you polish and wax it it might last about 3 washes before you have to do it again...my old black had bad swirls and i have to rewax every 2-3 washes until i eventually had it professionally done an then you all you have to do is lightly rewax everyyear!! just food for thought

I didn't realize that either! Probably going to change to some projectors or halos anyway.

I think it's worth what you payed excellent find.
What are you going to use to take the swirl marks out of the paint?
I used Meguiar's cleaner wax and Meguiar's NXT wax to take the
swirl marks out of my paint and it worked great!
Post some more pics if you can.
I am going to buy a Porter Cable orbital buffer to get the swirl marks out, seems to be the only way to do it from what I hear. Not sure what polish and wax I am going to use though. I will have a lot more pics in a couple weeks! I am letting my dad take care of it for a couple weeks until I get back from a work trip.

The interior is spotless too, love the seats they changed to in 01. The double DIN stereo will make things nicer to modify as well.

Buy some darker headlights and it will look so much better. Their cheap.

Let me know how those projectors work out if you get them. I have been thinking about replacing mine with some projectors being that the stock headlights suck. I just was not sure how much better they would be or if they would look to rice on the car.

Those are the ones I have been looking at. They go for about $100-150 on Ebay. I think they look pretty good, modern doesn't have to be rice.

Very nice! Those wheels remind me of the 2011 Shelby GT500 w/SVT Package wheels.

Halos? Really? It's not a ricer or a BMW. I'd stick with the darker Cobra originals. Just my opinion. I recently bought a 99 Cobra Convertible. Freakin' love it. I know you'll love it too. Congrats.
