Sort of. My original was wore out. Color gone, missing some of the leather wrap, and plain butt ugly. I found a nice gray wheel at the P-N-P with airbag for $25 plus another $10 for paint. The paint is SEMA Saddle and doesnt match, but its close enough. It was hell masking off the leather...

Im missing the spring on my shifter bezel lighter door, so the door doesnt stay closed. I dont know if just the spring is gone or if something is broken off as well. Can anyone post a pic of what it should look like and if nothing is broken, can just the spring be replaced? If not, Im gluing...

Im going to order seat covers today. I have saddle leather. I do not like leather in a convertible. Its way to hot down here, its after mid September and we are still hitting 95-100 degree days. Im going to go with cloth. A few questions: Who makes the best quality, best vendor, are new...

The day I brought her home six months ago and today. Lowered, shocks, struts, naked decklid, 17x9 Cobra rims 275-40-17 Kumho directional tread, 96 grill, Mach 1 rear end. Did the front suspension tonight, at 156k still had the original front struts, noticed the ball joints need to be replaced...

I have an opportunity to buy a really nice set of New Edge Parchment seats for my 97 Saddle Vert. How will those look colorwise with my saddle interior? My original seats are in poor condition, mostly from the sun.

Ive been riding bikes since 74. Started on Kawasakis, went to Hondas, made more money went to Harleys, made even more money went to Indians, got smarter and went back to Hondas. Picked up a couple Honda 1100 Ace Tourers for my wife and I a few weeks ago. I always wanted one of these and...

My 97 seatbelt webbing was worn and frayed to the point that it would not go into the retractor. I pulled a mint set of seatbelts out of a new edge. The new edge belts mount differently and leave a large gap in the carpet. I want to replace the carpet. Whats the better option: 1. Salvage...

My 97 has a crappy Sony HU wired through the Mach amps. I say Crappy because the buttons are small and its not user friendly. The sound is pretty good. Since the HU is wired through the amps Im guessing the Mach system is still in good shape. I want to replace the single din with a double...

Im getting ready to install a 03 Mach 1 rear end under my 97 Cobra. Im also installing a Ford Racing aluminum cover with drain and fill holes. The tag says 75w140 synthetic. That seems a bit heavy. Would 75w90 be a suitable choice? Im also buying the Ford axle house bushing kit that comes...

Im doing the 01+ console swap into my 97. I am also swapping in a double din radio. I found the pinout for the 01 foglight switch but cant locate one for the 97. The wires changed color between 97 and 01 and Im trying to figure out how to wire the new switch to the old harness.

The rear wheel bearings in my 97 Cobra are toast. With 156k on the ODO Im not sure on the condition of the gears. Ive had the car about a month now, the seller claimed that he serviced the rear end before I bought it. I would like to swap in a New Edge rear for the added width. Will my Cobra...

I bought a set of 2004 17x9 oem Cobra wheels. What lug nuts? Will any 1/2-20 60 degree taper lug nut work? I have a clad set off of my 86 Jeep Wrangler that have been in a box since 86. I actually prefer the clad lug nuts, once chrome gets fractured its going to rust. These wheels have...

Went to Atlanta and bought a set of mint mint mint 17x9 chrome Cobra rims with new Kumho 275/40/17s for $750. I hope the 275s will fit the front of my 97. The seller is 71 years old, lives in a middle class neighborhood and has a shop full of 7 litre Galaxies. His 67 is an XL that he bought...

Bought a set from American Muscle. Install went smoothly, 8 hours and that was with air tools and a knowledgeable assistant. Im having a problem reinstalling the sway bar. The instructions and video state to flip the clips on the sway bar and install it with the bolt head on the outside...

I spent 26 years in the military. I was trained to make decisions. One of my best attributes is processing information, determining the pros, cons, possible outcomes, assessing risk and making a decision. I am unable to do that when it comes to cars. Wheels: I really prefer the look and...

Is it possible to delete the annoying Photobucket extortion demand off of the site? It makes surfing threads difficult and time consuming.

Went to the pull-a-part this weekend: 04 console, radio and shift bezels, dash vents, nearly mint steering wheel, driver seatbelt, gas cap, all for $60. Installed my honeycomb grill, cobra emblem, touched up overspray on core support. Shocks, struts, rear control arms, poly isolators are...

Im not seeing how to install the honeycomb grill. It looks like it installs from the inside vs the outside. Does the hood latch come off to get it in?

My 97 Cobra mirrors are aftermarket and in poor condition. Whats my best bet for quality mirrors at a reasonable cost?

I have many questions, so I think I will keep them in a single thread. I bought this car off ebay, the seller was Elvis's Autos in Memphis TN. 176k. My plans are to make it a summer DD. I dont race or go to the track, I never even chirped the tires on my 07 GT500. When I want to go fast, I...

Are all 1997 windshield cowls the same or is the Cobra a specific p/n? I need a new one.
