I thought the Cobras would look nice on your car. I didnt say it because the "over done" thing was soon to follow. Seeing as that already happened.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
