Bro please don't be like the rest of people and tamper with a piece of history.

I used to ride my bicycle up to the ford dealer and daydream about a saleen just like yours.....

I wouldn't own it now, I have outgrown it, nonetheless it is a true piece of automotive history.

Wait till steve saleen kicks the bucket, you'll see.

Posted by a302juGRnot (Member # 10163) on :

20's is a lil too big for me on a fox...BUT, either way, your saleen looks super clean.

Hey i still have all the parts to put it back to how it came from

It looks fine to me.real badass.just no bigger.ur fine tho. [worship]

Posted by Venomousnotch (Member # 8695) on :

That looks bad ass bro... [worship]

Posted by 04 S281 (Member # 9229) on :

I think it looks clean. S281-E 5-spokes are awesome.

Did you have to run spacers or did they just bolt up?

Posted by Nifty50 (Member # 9987) on :

It looks clean, just keep the stock stuff for if u want to put it back to original. Nice Brakes too!

Posted by hidnn.o.s. (Member # 1219) on :

Looks lifted vs stock to 18" wheels

Posted by LXjames (Member # 10791) on :

I think it would look perfect if those where 18's because the 20 adds lift instead of filling the wheel well up like an 18 does
But none the less that car in those rims with the brakes peeking through makes a statement

Posted by 166 Merlot (Member # 1549) on :

It might just be the grade, leaning to the right a lil makin the left come up. But i got the wheels on ebay for a deal, shit i paid more for the tires, bolted right up, 20x10 rear with a 7.25" b/s. Real Saleen wheels too. Im just playin around with it. Same offset as a new mustang... It fits the old school Saleen setup like i was ment to be. Mashed a 285 in the back too with no rub!

Posted by TORTA (Member # 8319) on :

Looks a lil high. If you could get them to tuck a little it would look sick.

Posted by PurpleNotch (Member # 2902) on :

Looks good to me and wheels can always be changed so not a big deal to go back to stock. I would run some coilovers then you could dial in the suspension and get that one sitting right. Nice job on the brakes too [patriot]

The graphics aren't even close, and depending on his rear offsets on those rims unless he's swapped the rear to shorter axles, those dubs would be more than poking out.

I mean I guess it could be real but everything stock on it is gone so it might as well be an Lx hatch.

+1 on this^^^ and I think they would look better maybe on a sn95 [Big Grin]

Ugly.
It's a downgrade from the original wheels forsure if it even is a real saleen

Posted by 166 Merlot (Member # 1549) on :

Yea I guess a YS-I Supercharger is also a downgrade because Saleens didnt come with those either [Roll Eyes]

Why does everything I have have to be fake or a clone on CAFORDS? Wow [worship]

Dont start back peddling now " [Confused]

".. I didnt ask if the seats/stripes were original, or if u thought my car was a real Saleen, U came up with that all on ur own. I was just askin about the opinions on the wheels/brakes.

Too many fence walkers, is there not any stand outs left? Maybe someone who can stick to his guns, maybe has some balls - even if they are illiterate?

Yeah I know a lil about Saleens too [Roll Eyes]

Posted by 166 Merlot (Member # 1549) on :

I must have missed the memo that said Saleens are only cool if they r numbers matchin, all original - and slow. Damn now im stuck with a blower that tops out at 28psi/850hp +/- ...what can i do now? i guess put it back to cafords cool so that way I can have more friends on the internet [Whoo Whooooo!]

Get your money back on his one too. I like how you've changed your sig line to 87 Saleen it's real to nothing now lol. Like you just now realized your shits a clown.

Id worry more about taking care of my kids than giving a fuck about what a bunch of cafords haters will say Online.

U mad hoe?

Posted by MaK_1967v8 (Member # 12187) on :

Why let things bother you? Do you like your car? are you happy with it? I personally like the look of saleens, real or not. and I think your car looks pretty good. have a 2nd opinion about 20s on it, but to each his own right? its your car.

The only difference between a clone and a real one is the price tag IMO. if you're happy with it and you're not selling it who gives a fuck.

Are you blind or just illiterate? He posted a pic of his car and asked for feedback in his original post. Negative and positive responses are to be expected. If there's more negative responses than positive, that probably means something. Nevertheless, it's a good looking car that many people would love to own. But 20s on a fox generally look like dog shit.

You have kids? Lets hope not, because you might be raising them to be haters like your hater ass. I am willing to bet your car game is weak. You have a salvage title 93 cobra with 100000000 miles on it and the paint falling off with lots of door dings. And it's slow, kinda like your brain.
