Help me mod my car! which parts from my gt?

Soo.. I got this 03 cobra, dsg, and I have this 03 GT with cobra front, also dsg.

The cobra came with a cobra R cowl hood, and I am considering putting the factory termi hood from the GT on to the cobra..

Which you like better? THe cowl or the cobra? I like the look of the cowl, but really hate to pass up on having a very slick painted factory hood.

Cowl hood:


Termi Hood:




The Cobra came with a set of 18" boyd coddington wheels. They are really nice, and the rears look like 10's but the off set just isn't really what I like.





Exhaust:

The cobra has an off road X.

THe GT has a magnaflow magnapack exhaust



THe cobra has this one


Both mufflers are 14" long and clamped on, and I had intentions on swapping them but if you look in the pic the GT cat back mufflers are angled coming out of the muffler. I can have them cut and welded straight to go in the straight in straight out cat back on the cobra but I'm not sure what It would sound like ... I'm afraid magnapacks along with the off road X would be a little too raspy???



Straight axle ??
I've considered swapping everything from my GT to the cobra, but would hate to let the IRS go. I also just had ordered moser 31 spline axles and a 31 spline trac loc ... hmm...... they are waiting to go in something



Which hood do you guys like??

What about the wheels?

opinions on exhaust?

I probably plan on buying a completely different set of wheels anyway, I am looking at 17" billet specialties street lites!

Other mods I plan on doing soon is MM caster camber plates (doesn't have any)

Speed of sound gauge pod and move my autometer C2 boost and fuel pressure gauge from the GT to the cobra.

That car looks great and the hood looks good right along with it. IMO.

Thanks for the advice guys!

I think i'm gonna go with the cobra hood as long as the paint matches.

I might try to sell the boyds, or stick them on the GT to see if it will sell better. I eventually want some nice aftermarket wheels on the cobra! First choice would be CCW's but doubt i'll spend the money. I'm really thinkin on some of these billet specialties in 17"
