Just curious what kind of suspension work you are planning? I hear you on the cost of the kits - they're all purdy damned expensive. The Borla Rebel 500 kit that I got is identical to the Ford SVO kit with the SVO molded side skirts. I got mine used for $350 $500+ brand new) from I guy that had them on his car for less than a month so I couldn't pass it up. I don't do bodywork or painting so I had to cough up an extra $280 for the fit and finish.I mean these muffs hadn't been burned through at all, they were basically right off the shelf. If you can't find a kit used somewhere I think it would look awesome to mimick the 2000 Cobra R's setup. This could probably be done while keeping the stock side skirts. If you want I would be more than happy to mail or fax you the packing list that came with my kit. It has some drawings and specs that might be helpful if you decide to fabricate. Email me if you want them and I can have them in the mail ASAP.
