Im just anxious for my silver Cobra R rims to arrive, already have the new tires sitting in the garage. lol

So far I've added a Mach 1 grill delete, 20% tint, the Mustang inserts on rear bumper but the rattlecan stock rims have gots to go!

Nothing much yet but slowly looking better with a few minor visual mods. 2004 with 40k miles on it. Has about 10 small nicks and scratches on the paint. I have some touchup paint on the way for me to do the scratches and when I get the Cobra front bumper and Roush 3 post wing painted and installed, gonna get all the dings fixed too. I have 17x9 Silver Cobra R rims on the way now, just waiting for them to get here.

Day I bought it, bonestock aside from the rattlecan spray job on stockers previous owner did.




After 20% tint and shorty black antenna


Stock grill

Mach 1 grill


Stock rear

After inserts ( going to be adding duel 9 inch wide stripes down center of whole car from bumper to bumper so will help tie the white in better then )


Then just past weekend my wife did these minor things for me






I just cant wait for the rims to get here so I can get those stockers off, will look MUCH better then. When I brought the car home, all it needed was the MAF cleaned bad, drained and changed the tranny fluid and put a new battery and air filter in.

03/04 Cobra. Always loved that bumper. Now Im just gonna wait and then get everything else done all at once. Having a offroad X matched up with a duel side exhaust setup. Just havent decided on which mufflers to do. Debating Flowmaster as I love the 40 series but been seriously considering the Spintechs too. I've just never heard them in person which is only reason Im hesitant.

Do NOT get ROUSH/Magnaflow side exhaust mufflers. I had them with LT's and O/R H and I could barely hear the car at idle... wouldnt get loud until 3K rpm.

240hp 460 EFI Big Block (weak~~~)

It has an E4OD auto behind it.

I have been looking for headers and exhaust for it along with a BBK Twin 61mm TB and Banks Ram air kit and oiled cotton filter and a few other goodies.

Aside from the Exhaust, I can mod it as if it were a 95' F350.

Should be around 340hp after all that and pick up about 2mpg.

The banks exhaust & intake system alone is good for 85hp and 118ftlbs of torque on the 460 EFI motor.
Banks has dyno sheets, crzy. :P

Its not too bad, it rides really smooth.
It has a backup camera so it makes things a little easier.

The part that makes it a little harder to drive is that its on a wide chassis, 8' 6" wide.
It gets nerving going through construction cones or roads with no shoulders.


It has a tag axle (Cant see the rear because the Passat is in the way) so it makes for a smoother ride and I can tow more, my hitch is rated for 10,000lbs but the rig can tow more with a stronger hitch.

The calipers on the front make my 4pot Alcons look small. The Aluminum Calipers have to have at least another pound on the Alcon's and the rotors are huge too, but not sure how large.

The tow package upgraded the brakes so I guess thats whats on there.
