Ya, I see the blue Roush alot as well. I also used to see the black SN95 vert around at local shows...Jason is it?..I've spoken to him a couple of times. Ya, the Cobra just sees the shows and some Sunday driving these days. I have a lot of other things on my plate that takes up my time.

You make an excellent point however if you can see from the pictures, I also have an 03 Cobra which needs 16" rear wheels to fit with the IRS suspension so I bought a wheel I could use with both cars at the expense of a few tenths of ET with the 97Cobra... Right now I'm running 26X11.5X16 MT ET Streets and 15X4.5X15 MT ET Fronts...
excellent point! I'm sure those wheels look just as good on the 03!!!
I'm gonna be on the lookout for some decently priced d10's...I really like them! Thanks for the inspiration.

Originally posted by Jwilliams Nice sound system, but plz get rid of those altezza's
Trust me, i am not a HUGE fan of them either, but when I had one on and one stocker on, they just look better. The stockers stuck out like a sore thumb. Mystic has a lot of colors in it and red is not one of them, clear goes with anything
Originally posted by Neko linkys worky that time. hey u like that MA stuff, my brother just sent me some MA stuff and havent got a chance to put it in. sound good or what.
Yea- I have ran all MA Audio for about 4 or 5 years now and the only problem I have had with them is my amp blew one day - I called MA Audio with the problem and I sent it back to them and sent me a brand new amp!!! All I had to pay was shipping to get my blown amp to them (around $40 being it is soooo heavy!) so they are awesome with customer service. BTW I plan on selling my whole setup when I get my blower for various reasons
1.weight
2.need the $ from system to help pay for blower! (they aint cheap!)
I also have 3 brand new Ma audio 12"s I am trying to sell
Originally posted by BLACKVNM mhisstic that car is sweeet, you got a lot in it! Only suggestion I'd have is an s281 wing
I actually wanted to do that same wing but it is just wayyyyy too much hassle to get the Mystic paint from ford. Also it would cost me more for the paint than the wing itself!!
