I voted as long as it looks good cause I think the front bumper cover off the 96-98 cobra is the best front end ever!!!!! I love the circles instead of rectangles and like the stuff that was said above do everything( front, rear bumer covers..etc) before putting badges on and never on a stock car so you can back it up. :D

I really dont mind fakes,as long as its done right and they dont try to pass it off as real.I ran into a guy that had a nice 72 ss chevelle he had 454 emblems on it and he tried to say it was a real ss,PLEASE!!!! the thing was a born-again malibu but i didnt blow up his dream, hell it even had a column shifter for the auto trans,and the malibu speedo,no tech or anything,not to mention the thing didnt have that big block growl, also it had a bench seat in it!!!! I honestly think he had a stock 307 with a glass-pack exhaust,it didnt even have the cowl hood!!!!!!!!! It did look nice,but he should have just left the malibu emblems on it,and not try to be something its not.:rolleyes:

As long as its not tried to be passed off as original its cool with me. There are several people ( i.e. Most of the people in the mustang world ) who cant afford a true Cobra, a true Shelby or a true Carrol Shelby cobra and they opt to build a triebute to a great car.

I have a friend on our local site that has in his signiture " This is not the greatest car in the world. only a tribute"

As long as you like it and have fun with it.. thats all that matters.

I got a 66 clone that is fun to drive looks great and never lie about it when asked. If I had a real 66Cobra I would never enjoy driving down the road with all these fast in furious 'tards trying to cut me off to prove their mom's 87 wagon can do 80. Also a few years back I was close to buying a new Cobra, but I refuse to pay the insurance for a car that I would only drive in nice weather. Also I put a fuel cell, and the other things these originals did not have. I think if I saw a real 66 Cobra that had been cut and trashed it would sicken me.
The point being these rare few are turning into museum peices. As for many I believe they should, for like the Cobras you can make your dream car and enjoy it with out destroying an originial car.

replicas/fakes are o.k in my book as long as you can back em up. as an example though, what i can't stand are the v6's w/ the dual exhaust and gt badges...they get beat by a 4banger on the street...then i have to hear it @ work from this retard on how he beat a gt....it's fun proving them wrong though...in a way i should say thanks....

My 70 model isn't a Boss, and I make it a point to tell ppl. that........

But it still looks good:D

ok as long as it looks good
 

I agree its ok to do that as long as it looks good, but putting emblems that totally do not belong on it is not cool. Converting the body alittle, now theres nothing wrong with that, Id do it too, but do it with taste.

Is not imitation the finest form of flattery? lol!

You know, I just thought of something.

This thread reminds me of another, similar great question.

Boobs. Real or imitation (Implants)? If you can't tell the difference, does it really matter? I vote for "both"...they're all good!

I used to have Cobra snakes on the side of my stang, until I got tired of explaining that it was not one, and trying to defend myself that I wasn't trying to fake a Cobra, I just thought the snakes looked better than the 5.0. I pretty much found out that the people that owned Cobras, hated those snakes on non-Cobra cars the most. They used to get so mad. LOL


Finally I took them off and put the 5.0's back on. Here's what it looked like before:

I couldn't understand all the fuss. :confused: :confused:

In regards to the Boobs thing (fake vs' real)....

Boobs are more like aftermarket rims on a car....
The whole package looks better....
It rides nicer....
Then newer, bigger models come out and you want to upgrade.
