also, try to find some 10 holes or turbines or something, that would help your car considerably
It's Gumby's fault.

Yes, put some turbines on it. That would make a HUGE difference.

yeah check the finned reproduction rims that the mn12 t-birds had. Those come in black and would look killer if the car was done right.

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.

also someone should photo chop that blue t-bird  up there to a cougar just to see what it looks like.

I got my 10-holes for $50 and refinished 'em myself. Stock Mustang wheels (aside from Ponies) are usually cheap and easy to find. Even if you spend $150 on a good set it'll be the best $150 you can spend to make your car look different. Wheels make or break a car.
