You just need to throw the ground effects on. The hatch will require filling of holes if you decide to change wings though.

You can make it into an LX,GT,or Cobra if you like and switch out the 4 banger and drop a V8 in there and tranny. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

screw the GT idea, since it is an lx you can add on the Saleen kit quite easily and I think that looks the best = ).

I hear the reverse (GT into LX) is more common, but what do I know ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Fuck, for the amount of money your planning on putting into this project you can just buy a gt! I mean swapping a whole 5.0 pwer and drivetrain, then suspensio, to hold the bigger motor,then the body kit, painting it and so on, damn. It might be worth it if you have a fucked over 5.0 mustang to get the motor and tranny and shit out of.. Just my opinion, oh weel god luck on it anyway~Ken

I was more looking towards years down the road. When i have money and can build my dream car. 351 stroked to a 427, atleast, T56 tranny.....9 inch rearend, full maximum motorsports suspension. So i mean, not that much stock stuff would be on teh car, but the interior. Buying a GT would be easier...but if i am gonna get after market hood, front fascia, rear wing. Maybe even rear bumper. I dont see the need to buy a GT. When i am gonna be swaping everything anyways.

My baby, it's real though, none of that lx to Saleen conversion booshwah
I dont know about all this 4cyl conversion ur talking about, sounds like a lot of work, i think u'd just be better of flipin a stock lx and just keeping it fox, why try and front like ur car's something it's not, prove yourself on the line not in the parkinglot, just my 2 cents. Stock lx's look nice just how they are, notch, or hatch, dumped on some 17"s... oooo la la
but anyway here are some pics
here's a nice shot of the real valence and wing
me and a friend kiss each other's ass...
hope u like em

The pics look great. I really like the your saleen. But i wouldnt be faking my shit with a 4 banger......i would take the 4er out...and swap in a 351 that is stroked to a 427! And a T56...with a 9 inch rearend. I wouldnt be expecting anything less then 700hp. So i wouldnt be faking it....i figured since i am gonna be swaping everything out anyways. Why not get a 4 since it is cheaper
