Need ideas for my 87 Coupe

[GodStang]

I know this is a SVT site but many of yall have had Fox bodies or have been around them. I have a 1987 Coupe that I am getting ready to drop a 351w in. I have everything for the engine so that is not my issue. My issue is we are getting ready to soda blast it and paint it. I need ideas for paint scheme, what bumpers look good, what colors look good, what hood and most of all what people have done instead of running the lame side molding. I just do not like the looks of it. I have searched google tons but just trying to find more info/ideas on what to do to make it look good. I like a sleeper look and debadging it and was thinking of doing Grabber blue with dual black racing stripes. Any ideas on making this a sweet looking coupe.

This is how it is now except hood is gone and rear spoiler is gone.

Competition orange, dark tint, no spoiler 4" cowl hood and a nice drag set up.

I'd use the smallest cowl you can without hitting the intake. Kaenan (SP) makes/made really nice hoods and you could get a lot of different heights.

I'd shave everything and go with the new Zr1 artic white paint.
Just clean and simple.

Big and littles, and a 3 inch cowl hood with no spoiler. Either black, yellow, or competition orange. LX's don't have much going for them in the looks department, so make it look like a hot rod. It's like a modern version of a 32 coupe. Not feeling the smurf grabber blue color though. Maybe on grandma's 56 chevy.

Add a small cowl, metallic silver paint, and CCW classics.

Love the Welds!! For those wondering the rear spoiler and truck lid it was on are gone. Traded it for a set of Victor Jr. heads.

What do people do for side molding replacement. Not sure I want to put mine back on. Anyone got any pics?

This is the hood on mine. 2000 cobra R style. I like it because its not just another foxbody with a cowl hood. People are always asking what kind it is.

Everyone runs a cowl hood these days. I would run a hood with a different forward facing scoop or scoops. I am old enough to remember when the only thing with a cowl hood had GM on it. My fox has a fully functional ram air hood and induction system on it.

For just the hood aspect, something i've been wanting to do that my buddy with an 89LX did was buy a newer GT500 hood vent and fab it up in the front area of his stock hood to use it as a functional hood vent. It looked freakin awesome... and different.

I would take the spoiler off, but its your car, not mine!
