bought it back on thanksgiving of 07. it has gone through many changes since then. it was close to stock when purchased with some minor bolt ons. i added an vortech s-trim a year later and it was all down hill from there. it now sports a 408 with a t-56 behind it. nothing major planned anytime soon except for maybe a different set of wheels, upgrade the stereo, and change mufflers.

I wouldnt change the wheels. Those things look perfect on there. You might want to get them widend if you want bigger tires. The only thing I would change about your car is to change the stock spoiler to an s281.

yea, i was toying with the idea of widening those, i just miss the chrome.

my original plan was to get that spoiler but i'd have to get a new decklid because the holes are different with 94/95 cobras. the crab claw spoiler is also a key 94-95 cobra feature so i would like to retain it.
