I put a orginal Cobra Jet scoop on my hood. The
lines fit perfect! Every time my car is at a show
people think its factory! They say things like
wow i didn't know they made a Cobra Jet Maverick.
It really funny how people argue about it. I
found the scoop at a bone yard too! Then again
that was back in 1987. Good luck in finding one
now. Also I changed the LDO bumpers to standard
ones cuz (this only my opinon) the rubber and
the bump stops are fugly. My other car still has
them but just never had the time to change them.
Another question I get is how did I get the
headlight housings so shiny and the headlights so
bright. Well for the housings under all that
black paint or silver coating is alum.. and I
just poilshed it out. As for the lamps they are
H4 conversions with HID (type) bulbs. Brighter
then a new car!
And lastly well on my other car they wonder about
the wide tires on the front 245-45/16's with no
modications well my answer, the right offset. I'm
sure there are many other things I have done but
if I tell ya i'll have to kill ya! hee hee hee
Good Luck!
