So far, my vote is for the pictures posted by TButtrick (Silver with blacked out wheels). The right combination of original looking, not over the top ridiculous. Trust me, I have good taste.

I've been thinking of doing an FAI with that same combo but black rollbar. Would you toss the meatballs or no?

I don't think you "need" the meatballs; if you did, I wouldn't do them on the hood or the trunk; just the sides (is that proper race etiquette?) |

I thought this car (CSX 4190) was mean looking.

I prefer the vinyl cling type decals and meat balls because you can mix it up. Sometimes just the hood, trunk, whatever. Move the decals around, like that.
However, real painted meat balls do look better, it's just to permanent for me.

A bit of "patina" and rock chips all over the front end shows people that their Cobra is driven and driven hard, causing other drivers of lesser machines to give those Cobras a wide berth.

Thanks JDean
Thanks JDean, I am blown away at the fact that you chose my car as the number 1 in your "most intimidating looking Cobras" I think there are some awsome and scary looking machines out there that certainly look the business. I took this shot at the musclecar masters recently, I thought the added blacked out lights make it a little more agressive looking! Great post by the way! I am loving all the pics the guys are posting. Bring them on I say!

I think that Colin Mullany has a very intimidating looking Cobra, maybe someone can post a pic of it.

Stefano the black circles with white numbers, plus black roll bar creates a serious "race" looking theme for your car. Not to mention the nice lines of the Robnell body.
I like it, and I think I will do the same numbers on my red/black car when it is finished.
