Lookin' good! That's going to be one nice ride in the near future.
 
Nice!

I never realized it until now, but moving the spoiler back a few inches would really make it look way better (in my opinion, of course). My friend has a 99 GT that he did that to, and the difference is really quite amazing. I don't like that spoiler at all in the stock location, but just that slight modification of moving it rearward a couple inches really made it look good.

Just something to think about, and it's essentially free...

It's your car, do what you like, I just noticed the difference in your picture from my memory of his car, and figured I'd tell you about it. :)
 
haha ya i guess you can say that, im a founder here, been here since the beginning

Yeah no kidding, like a DMV issued one considering I pay extra every year to have the vanity. My wife asked me if I could just switch it with her tag on my 98 lsc, my birthday is in march maybe I will do that just go to the DMV and have them swap the two tags around.
 
Looking good Jamie! I never did understand the black with tan interior combo on any car though.
 
I know what it needs! Do a the dohc swap then throw some Lincoln emblems on the fenders and deck lid!!!!
 
shes clean man, finding an unmolested stang is a rarity in itself ! Possibilities are endless for that car !

Personally, I always thought that a tan interior was the perfect contrast to a black paint job. It just looks..."right" to me. Our Cobra is Black with a black/tan two-tone interior. I think it looks fantastic!
 
Nice car, I just can't do the interior though. Looking forward to seeing how the car turns out.
 
i hate tan too, in the pics i took the sun was blasting on it making it look more like peanut butter, i havent looked up the actual trim code but the interior looks just like prairie tan or even like mocha in the 93 marks, its no where near saddle color. there is a guy near me parting out a white 2000 gt with black leather, i am seeing how much he wants for the black seats front and rear, i may two tone the interior, i may leave it. i dont know but the interior in my car is flawless, even the front seats, not a single wrinkle, crack, rip, burn nothing its in awesome condition. i can live with the tan its not a big deal to me. i like tan inside this car alot better than i like tan inside a mark VIII, sometimes the same colors look ok in one car and not another!

It's that "newness" that makes it more attractive; men always want "new cow". You've been driving Mark's for what, 16 years?
 
lol god damn dude i am not that old no 8 years, but i have always owned another kind of vehicle with my marks so i always had something different to drive if i got sick of the marks, it just took along time to get so sick of marks that i can honestly say i am finally finished with them, once my 98 dies on my wife, she will get something different too and that will be the end of my mark era!
 
F any interior color that isn't black. My current Mark and my 95 SHO both got full black interior swaps...
 
Jamie, I havent always been a Mark VIII guy. Here's a 2 toned interior that I worked on. My stepfather & I purchased this 97 Cobra & completely restored it. Check out what the interior used to look like & how we changed it around. 2 toned interior's aren't bad looking at all.

First picture will make you puke. Trust me, it made me puke!!!
