is it a stupid idea to put a saleen kit like the rims and everything on a 03' cobra? i've seen a guy do it and it looked pretty sick but is that original or do you guys see that everywhere? basically im going to be buying a car in the next month or so and i'm not sure if i should just break down a get a saleen or a 03 cobra and do what i want to it, i plan on spending about 25-30k or so, -justin.

Well if you are just now buying the car then I would go for the cobra and put a saleen body kit on it. You will not have the same HP in a saleen that you would have in a cobra which is 390 (unless you bought the S281 E $62,000, 445 HP). I would just go for the cobra.

yea thats what im leanin towards, i thought it was a stupid idea at first but in the end they're all mustangs and i think it'd look pretty sick plus i'd have a fast car. it's not really a dumb idea it won't be a real saleen but it would be just like any other saleen if that makes any sense, but it'd be better performance wise but not collectorwise, -justin.
I would definately leave the Cobra badges on. Like the man said above, Cobra + Saleen kit is king. Saleen badges just make it a clone. You could send it to Saleen and have them make it a Saleen Cobra, but a Cobra is sweet enough as it is and I would hate to hear how much that would cost.
actually i've been looking a LOT at prices lately, i figure by the time i go to buy this which is december possibly november, who knows maybe next month i should be able to find a cobra around 15k miles for about 25-27k, as a matter of fact i have found 2 and one had like 3k miles and it was 27k which is a GREAT deal. with the other 3k or whatever i can add good suspension, a saleen kit, and the chrome saleen rims with a good tint. i'd like to get white or anything if the price is right really, and a coupe. i've noticed convertible cobras go for like 2k more which is kinda funny but good for me.
