I saw one car I want to do my car up like. It had the Saleen T1 Carbon Fiber Race Wing, Saleen Carbon Fiber Hood, Full Saleen Body Kit, Cervini's Side Scoops and some chrome rims.

Loved the look.

i would say save your dough for a urethane kit. i had a fiberglass and its not worth the worry if you have ANY bumps in your area. buy the kit in pieces if you have to, but invest in quality or itll cost more in the long run. xenon and west wings look sweet, but i do think the xenon looks big in the back and as far as i know doesnt have exhaust cutouts!

I just gotta say, buy top of the line! NO EBAY on this one! I bought a saleen kit and it was a nightmare, I tried to save $500 and ended up it would have cost 3x that to make the kit work, I ended up eating most of it, so I really didn't save a dime.

I hear Cervini is the BEST, as good or better fit and finish then OEM.

my 97 gt has Saleen front and rear bumper covers and a SALEEN S-351 rear wing. it also has Cervini's side scoops and just in case you do want to know the hood is a genuine Ford cobra R hood. Saleen also makes a S-281 rear wing that im probably going to buy for my 98 cobra. the bumbers cost $450 each from Downs Ford and the rear wing is less than $250, the side scoops were roughly $110 and the hood was $500. like it was said above, go with genuine parts...no "knock-offs" they are made with poor materials and they most likely will NOT fit correctly. hope this info helps. let us what you decide on.

that website above is one of those "knock -offs" that i was referring to. poor quality materials and a poor fit. while it looks nice on the web i'd be willing to bet it is a poor product...beware!

Cool Beware the KNOCK OFFs

I agree when it comes to appearance mods. Get the best, otherwise, you'll spend twice the $$$ in repairs/upkeep or swap th entire ki later becasue of the hassle.
Prep and painting knocks are not worth the money saved in the long run ..... usually.

What, no one mentioned ROUSH? Yeah, I'm biased but I think they look good too. ROUSH parts... url: www.roushperf.com

roush parts look nice, but are WAAAAAY overpriced, in my opinion.

I have the Cervinis Stalker kit and am real happy with it. I first bought the Salen kit and my body shop said it would cost a fortune to prep and paint it.

Here's some pics.

Those are some great pics. Did the prep work ($) on the Cervinis kit seem fair?

Again, looks great, anyone considering this kit has gotta see these pics. FAST & PREEEETTTTYYY, just like a good woman!
