Default 1999 Cobra - Saleen or 2003 Cobra Update?

Hey guys, opinion time. I've got a '99 Cobra Convertible and I'm wanting to update the looks. I'm either thinking of going with Saleen style wheels, hood, and effects or keeping it true to it's roots and just going with the '03 Cobra bumpers, hood, and wheels, etc. What do you guys think?

Stay with the Cobra theme-that's my opinion.
I think with the 03/04 upgrades, it will still give you the "new look" you want, without losing the charactistics of a Cobra.
Great looking car.

Either look will turn heads but, ... the SALEEN without the decals will give the appearance of an updated look.

The 03-04 Cobra pieces will look like a 03-04 clone. Muscular but missing something .....

Prefer the SALEEN.

I say Saleen also, without the saleen emblems or stickers. They did make Saleen Cobra's and they look sweet.
If you do buy saleen stuff, even from Saleen, test fit them first before having them prepped and painted. You'll be surprised how off some of their stuff can be, though it's not cheap.

I say leave it looking like a 99 and put the money you would blow on body panels into performance parts.
