Well, since I haven't shown pics here on CEG, here's what my car looked like at Cougarfest this year. It's got a ton of body mods, and is covered in Lambo Lt Blue, and Lambo Silver. =)

Fun project, now I can't wait for my engine/tranny install.

very nice, are the flares a kit or are they off of something?

The flares are from Custom Cougars, they are the V2 Flares, but they were highly warped, and needed tons of work to get them straight. We also blended them into the front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper, so they look like they belong on there.

Here's the bodymod list:

Lambo Blue/Silver Paint Scheme
Shaved Door Trim-Rings/Locks
Shaved Antenna
Shaved Rear Wiper/Squirter
Shaved 3rd Brake Light
Shaved Roof Drip-Edge Lines
Shaved Spoiler
Eliminated "Handle Indent" on rear bumper
Molded Flares into front/side/rear
Molded FUNCTIONAL Mustang Cobra vents in sides
Intalled Mustang fuel door
Frenched in custom lighted N2O purge on drivers fender
Rear-View Camera replaces lock in right-rear taillight
Machined "COUGAR" side plates for the Battle skirts
Diamond-Plate Front Splitter/Rock Guard

And some more pics:

It's show car for sure. Not a fan of the front bumper or "torn paint" with the blue. All the rest get a fat.

Heh, nope. She'll never see a trailer, and is my daily driver. I build my cars to drive, they just have to look good while doing it.

Heh, in due time. =) The car is off to the shop soon for a full strip-down. Removing all glass, panels, everything so that we can repaint, and do a better job. We did that paint in one day, 8am til 11:30pm, so it has some flaws, but it made it to CF, which was the goal.

Once the paint is completed, the car will get shipped to Rick to get everything else taken care of, including tranny/engine install and tune. (I'm sure Rick will just LOVE me for sending him a freshly painted car to work on, heh, but that's the only way to get the engine bay done.)

Thx for the complements and comments, all. I didn't like the graphics myself at first, either, but they've since grown on me. I will definately do a much cleaner layout next time, but I love the two different patterns on each side, instead of doing a symmetric design. We'll see, who knows what I'll come up with next time, all I know is I am sticking with the Lambo colors, since I have plenty of the blue. =)

Are those Quantum rims?? I have them on my SVT,they have been around CEG a few times. The looks great, but they are 47 pounds with tires! Very nice Cougar! Good luck with the future engine mods.

Nice looking ride E1. Shipping me a car with fresh paint?! Man you're just asking for it aren't you. LOL I'll do my best keeping that thing pristine.
