From the side the car looks sick, I'm just not one for the 70's TransAm look in the rear....The front wheels look funny too...The center of the wheels sticks out as much as the lip, like a FWD off set.....Just my .02

not feeling the wheels. the lip looks cheap. too flat

I think they look sick. The only thing I would change is I would get some black lug nuts & different centercaps like Saleen, bullits, or the silver ford racing caps ....

Nice looking coupe [worship]

That is one bad cop, couldnt have picked a nicer set of wheels too go with the car IMO, make sure you keep those rims, the ten's look insane in the back

Lets see the interior,

what kind of seats are those? matching rears?

I've been meaning to do this conversion but would like to know some details about the rears.

How did you get them to fit the coupe? What is involved?
 
Posted by CobraTerritory (Member # 6476) on :
 
looks good but please pull the cobra emblems off.

Looking good bro. I knew the black ones would look dope on there. Glad you kept them, I seen you were about to sell them.

I would have to agree. Nice looking coupe, but the 17x9's all around look way better on foxes.

the fox bodies aren't wide enough to utilize the deep dish wheel.

Again, nice coupe though.

Take care of that car. I know the guy you bought it off and was very upset with him for letting go of this car. I have had some good memories of whipping up on this car!

Luke, I can find out if you like. It was my buddy who was the last owner of this car and did most of the work. I also have a pristine set of unmodified charcoal grey seats for sale if you are interested. [patriot]

Hi Drew, thanks man

Please find out for me if you can. I heard it is a direct bolt in for a hatch, but requires you to stich the leather onto the existing fox rear seat in a coupe since the backing piece must slide into the cross-bar slots.

I just talked to the previous owner of the car. He took the stock rear seat and the 99+ rear seat to an upholstery shop and had them make it work. Not a very detailed explanation I know, but it sounds like the same thing you had in mind.

Yeah dude, I'll let him know.

Jeff is about to become a CHP officer, so we all better watch out! [Eek!] [Wink]
 
Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :
 
Drew, thats what I was afraid of [Frown]

Makes me want to hold out for some front Sparcos and just leave the rears stock to avoid the headache.

Thanks for the info! [patriot]
