Alright, I've had this Idea ever since I bought her. Now that Idea is coming alive. Here are some pre finished pictures.

What other additions do you have in mind? Did you repaint the car?

Still not sure if I'm doing the rear bumper or stopping it @ the license plate. Also, the hood logo is missing the SALEEN that goes underneath it. The guy only sent me one. After this I'm looking @ a Terminator engine swap. I've already found a donor. :biggrin:

Sweet addition. I would think completing the stripe to match the front valance would be best.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Oh. You're making it a tad faster. :smile: Feel free to share photos of that build-up, when it happens.
How is the wheel project going? Did you decide, white or chrome?

I will be starting the swap in a month or so. I'm fixing to have it ready by knotts.
I took the wheels to get them powdercoated white. Today I went and gave them new rubber, 255 40 18 and 285 40 18 Dunlop 9000's. Awesome tires!

Expensive too!
When did you do the caliper/Cobra brake upgrade?

I agree with you 100%, I will do the rear bumper next weekend.

When did you do the caliper/Cobra brake upgrade?
They did cost a pretty penny, but well worth it. I did the cobra upgrade about 1 1/2 month ago. I couldn't find the original Alcon Saleen upgrade for that year. I contacted Alcon directly and they directed me to a dealer in Irvine, contacted them and luckily they had one set left. :frown: But they wanted 3k for them.
