🔧 BUILD Boostie's Dust Collecting Unicorn.... 04 Cobra

General Information

Figured I would share with you guys my build so far. This car has brought me through hell and back and slowly getting it to my liking. Originally the car had a lot of weird and show type stuff like air ride and Tv's about everywhere you could look and was lacking in power. I have removed a LOT and changed+ added quite a bit. Wanted to build this car as a quick street car so performance wise I am pretty much done. Still need some suspension tweeking and minor details changed.

Both the FR500s and CCWs are damn hot on these cars....

You keeping the FR500s or selling those?
I probably will sell the fr's and the Boze forged wheels I have. The rovos I am on the fence with as I love the look and my welds I dont think I will ever part with. Kinda getting tired of having sets of wheels tucked away everywhere tho

Give me a heads up when you do and what you want for them. I might take them off your hands just to have an extra set of wheels. Those real Ford FR500s give me a funny feeling in the pants as it is. :love:

I like the ones u sold last year or two years ago the ones that were deep dish and looked like CCW classics all black. The BOZE forge are the ones that you got when you bought the car? I also like the rovos on your car. Hands down one of the best looking wheel today on a cobra is still the 03-04 chrome AFS 18s.

Sell all the wheels except the CCWs buy more go fast parts.

No brainer to me LOL!!

There is a 3.8 whipple available for these now. :io:

Lmao my little 2.3 has been a trooper, but some of the new gen whipple stuff seems to be making a lot of steam! I have been going back and fourth on retuning the car for E but for how little I drive the car I am unsure it if would be worth it

I will! I am thinking within the next week or so posting some stuff, I have way too many wheels and tires laying around.

Those were the Whistler SK1 wheels. I really enjoyed the look, but they didnt clear the brembo calipers and required big spacers

What did your car come with when u bought it I don’t recall.

When I first bought it, the car had black chrome Saleen wheels, but I think you may be thinking of one of my original sets were 19" I-Forged Aero wheels

I didnt like the donk look and about 5 sets later I got 18" True forged mach 5's which are very similar

Send me text if u want to get rid of the ROVOS for some reason the black centers make my car look even older not sure if it’s the blue color and my car came with the ford GT réplicas black center and polished clear coated center and they didn’t stand out like all chrome. Either all black or all chrome for mine.
