You know one of my favorite things about a "Cobra" is how many different ways you can change the looks and still be in the "ball park" of originality. Just like playing with models!

I've had my front grill opening with and without the "air splitter". I've run chrome bumpers to black quick jacks. Sometimes I feel like the old school vinyl "sponsor" stickers look cool, sometimes not. I've had white, black and yellow (at different times) for "team stripes" on the front fender (two or even three stripes, mix it up). I use colored DUCT TAPE for the stripes!! I used to have a red with white stripes Cobra, still one of my all time favorite combos. But there were a couple of others just like that in Hawaii, to many. So rather than add white stripes to my solid red body, I had the hood painted a flat black (kind of recognizing the ricer trend today I guess). But there was at least one original Cobra that was red, black hood!

Maybe when I get it painted I'll go back to a red hood, but then again, I might go white stripes this time. I'm fortunate that my wheels use "inserts" to emulate the classic look. Why fortunate? Because I can take out the inserts and just run the spinners against a flat black background. It looks cool that way, definitely an "old school" look. Having two sets of wheels I can run street tires or slap on those terrific looking yellow letter Goodyears.

The combinations are endless as to what you can do, and still keep it in the ball park of "real".

My latest gig may be swapping out the round tail lights for the square ones!

OK, heres a pic with the wheel inserts removed. BUT, my nuts are showing (I hate when that happens). I forgot to touch up the chrome lug nuts with a shot of black paint that particular time. With the spinner against a black background, I think it's a nice look, for a change. I've painted the inserts various colors over the years, black, white, red (that looked horrible) and have another set that is "natural". They look very very real indeed when they are on.



At the track and running "black":
