Any opinions on the differences?

Hi Clay:
The one difference I saw, when looking at an ERA and Unique which were near each other at the 2003 Lime Rock vintage ralley was the upper door treatment. The way the ERA's doors melded into the upper front above dash area were not similar to the way the Unique's doors fit. It seemed like there was more of a linear angle to the Unique upper door fit. Small difference. They both looked very nice to me as I recall. Some of the ERA details on some ERAs are just super but those are a function of dollars spent to recreate those details. Not all ERA owners go to such lenghts in their builds. ie: aluminum engine compartment, aluminum trunk finish, aluminized engine hoods, etc.
I too agree that the silve does show the Cobra's lines well. The lack of stripes makes it look classic for lack of a better word. Silver paint must cost more to shoot I suspect? I think CT. Custom charges more for silver paint on the ERAs last I heard.
