I installed a 2300k brake system on my stang. It replaces EVERYTHING but a few lines. Its taken me about 2 months busting tail on it when I have had time. I got new 99 Cobra wheels and had them powder coated white. Next up before spring is a Cobra rear bumper and LX style tips.

It turned out great, car is dirty, and the brand new headlights are still sitting under the x-mas tree. :P

Front tires are 255/40/17's
Rear tires are 275/40/17's And yes they rub. I drove it around the block and I have ALOT of fender rolling to do!!

:) Very nice stang! That yellow stripe on there with all that white is almost blinding! Keep up the fine work!

Yea its pretty damn reflective if I use the flash on the camera...It always looks like its "lit up" :)

Nice choice on the wheels. They look good done in body colour, very similar appearance to some of the Saleen wheels. Those 99 Cobra wheels are actually a pretty good deal for what you're getting ... they are forged like the Marauder wheels, rather than being cast like most of the OE Ford pieces.

Its a LAME winter. The past 3 years have been the weakest winters I've ever seen. Usually this time we should have 2-3ft of snow in the freaking yard!! In fact the weather has been so good I may re-activate the insurance on the stang and drive it.

Matt.

Very sweet ride. I love that color with those rims, perfect match. Very clean car.

A little schizophrenic though, isn't it? Mustang GT body side molding, Saleen decals and tail, Steeda badge..... :) Just giving you a hard time. Behind Marty probably the 2nd biggest Fox body freak. I always wanted that 2300K brake setup!

Oh yeah man she's a mut from hell. The car has steeda pedals tool. When I got the car 5 years ago the steeda logo's were on it. I might take that back one off this year I havn't fully decided yet. On the front I have a cobra insert already. I just didn't take any front pics cause the headlights are missing and it looks ugly as hell.

The GT side skirts and rear bumper are going for the blank cobra side skirts and rear bumper. Yea so she'll be a GT/Steeda/Saleen/cobra mut.

I just can't wait to drive this thing!!!
