[QUOTE="3B99SVT, post: 11785411, member: 35689"] Welcome to the forum. Love your car, but then I'm biased. I've got similar miles on mine and it's also still running strong. I'll echo shurur's suggestion on subframe connectors. A must for a convertible. I have Maximum Motorsport XLs and am well pleased w/them. Your grill definitely isn't stock since Cobras didn't come w/grills. And a note on blacking out your tail lights -- '99 & '01 Cobra tail lights are somewhat unique w/the amber turn signals. If you want to make them really dark, you may as well get some GT tail lights since you won't see the ambers w/the black out. That way you can return to stock in the future. Or you can sell them (and the harnesses) for a pretty penny. Painting your calipers is an inexpensive cosmetic upgrade. Search a little and you'll see some good hints. I still have to do mine though -- hopefully this summer. And changing the stance (getting rid of the 4x4 look) is rather simple. I cut my springs for free. Some will say that cutting springs will ruin the ride but I don't agree. A cut spring has a slightly higher spring rate, similar to purchased lowering springs. I didn't experience a bouncy ride or anything. I finally purchased some '03/'04 shocks/struts and the front MM coil overs that I need to install. But I ran my cut springs for ~3 yrs w/o any problems at all. If you haven't changed your oil yet, I recommend full synthetic, an FL820S filter, and run 7 qt. Definitely nothing less than 6.5 qt. The cut springs and 7 qt recommendations are "controversial" so some may chime in w/other comments. But this is one of the best forums for a New Edge Cobra. Lots of good info here. Oh, and take time to read through the stickies. And welcome to the forum!! [/QUOTE]
