1997 Mark VIII Final (?) Fall Pics !!!

I've been neglecting my car lately, but today while checking out few possible properties for sale (yeah, I need a bigger garage LOL) I took few pictures.
I hope to put the car away for the winter, but the search for a winter beater is not over yet.
It seems that buying a new house is easier than finding a winter replacement for the mark

Anyway, here are few shots.

I find it hard to believe that car has been neglected.

What is all the shiny stuff around the tail lights? There seems to be some on the sides too?

Great pics, Jeremi! The car looks great!

WHAT KIND OF MODIFICATIONS WOULD i NEED TO PUT THE COBRA WHEELS ON MY 97?

RE: 1997 Mark VIII Final (?) Fall Pics !!!

Joe, you either go chrome or you stay home ... }(

The wheels fit great, IMO. Yes they do stick out a bit more due to the 26mm offset, but with 255/45/17 tires up front there is no clearance issues. However, with 285/40/17 tires in the back there is a possiblity they will rub. Minor fender roll should take care of it. But they haven't rubbed once yet. What I am most happy about is the hub fitment and clearance to the spindle up front. The old 17x9 cobra Rs were so close to the spindle it made you worry. Plus the hubcentric rings only added to the problem. I couldn't be happier.

You need to buy all the mustang junk, front hubs (+complete brakes or redrill), rear hubs (+rotors and adapters, or redrill), and new lug nuts (yeah, they're different size).

The car looks great Jeremi, those cobra wheels look nice on it.
