Sweet Cougar! V6 with the 5 speed is a killer car, and it seems as though there are pleanty of Duratec mods that carry over from the SVTC variant. The color matched headlights really set off the front end too! :thumbup:

 

the gun metal rims looked wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better IMO

i have the complete roush kit for the car but it still needs paint and to be installed
as of now i am mainly collecting parts and when i get home i will be installing them. hopefully i am going to get my buddy take my kit to a shop to get it painted
if some of u are curious to what the roush kit looks like here is 2 pics

let me know what everybody things and comments and feedback is appreciated

 

damn that **** is nice.....i always loved thos cougars

 

ummm i think the big obvious cf hood prevents it from being a true sleeper. when i see a cf hood on a car not matched i think it either has a lot of go or nothing at all. I like the headlights a lot and the tail light covers are nice but i prefer the euro approach to the cougar

 

i am not trying to go all ricey with it, hence not really touched the body except with little things. i love the look of carbon fiber so i dont really like to hide it. they stopped making cf fenders. if i can pick up a set i might have to use them.

i actually like the stock lines so thats why i am adding the lip kit. I have almost everything that the roush package came with except the springs, since i opted for coil-overs.

on the exterior i am adding the roush kit and if i do not find cf fenders then i am going to paint the corners of the hood along the body lines.

i was toying with a all over paint on the car. a two tone that used the stock laser red( close to sangria red) and lexus graphite grey(looks very close to carbon fiber
here is a crude photoshop/paint

for the spoiler possibly this

I have done more things with this car then when i had my focus. i miss my old SE. it was a 5spd zetec. dev or david might have some old pics of the originals of norcal, when drew wasn't driving yet and linda nad drew were part of norcal.

 

are you from ohio?? that 7 looks familiar

 

very cool man! You helped solve a major mystery for me. I have wondered since I got them, what kind of wheels I had. Now I know they are the roush wheels, with a gunmetal painted center. They look cool, but are heavy as heck!

 

Looks good, liking the painting headlights.

my name on newcougar.org is fordrule

yeah the rx-7 and sti aren't any fun......the rsx was fun to dust but he is boosted also now so half the time i am playing catch up. but i still hang with them......my overall goal is to turn this car to a boosted v6.....gt35r FTW.......... i would be over 400whp easily...since i have a little one on the way the dreams are on hold and i am just going to finish the kit, finish the tuning and tweak the suspension....

thanks for all the feedback , i miss my car so much ...everytime i goto the track i like to pick on the sport compacts that aren't spraying or boosting, espically the ricers, and the big boys like calling me out lol mainly the srt-4, lexus, evos,sti's, mustang, comaros and gto's. i usually get to beat up o nthe v6 comaros and mustangs...depending on the launch and the wheel hop.... i like earning there respect because the mustang crowd thing i am a ricer lol but i hang with gt's lol they dont like that

 

do I have pics? heh. a few.

I've got more, but you get the idea...same wheels, but the centers are painted gunmetal.

u just rattle can them or did u get them powdercoated? that is what i am wanting todo but the same color as my centerlines

 

rattle can. however. I didn't do them. they look good from far, but are far from good! :lol:

OH, do you have the centercaps? I've always wondered what they look like.

 

yeha i do i will find a pic of them. i think i am going to get mine powdercoated but i have a feeling it will be like 300 to do the set...not sure yet. i will post a pic whe ni find the pic

 

here are the pics of the center caps. the old owner of them that the can not be found anymore but enkei centercaps can work

 

Looks great but whats are to two things on the front of your hood?
