Marc, did Miguel have any other options? Thanks!

The only problem is that ford wants $100 for the centercaps! SVT with CE light mod and a camera mount. Naughty Pictures Why yes it is true, I am on my third engine.

Funny how the stock Cobra centercap looks smaller.... I think there is a size difference. Not sure if you guys want to ride with cobra centers though... I would suggest painting the centercaps gloss black, then getting a chrome SVT sticker made up at one of those sticker places that do vinyl lettering and graphics... Then put a clear piece of clear vinyl over it and there you go... I think they would come out great.. I spoke about this with Brad Noon, and he agrees... it would only cost about 20 bucks to do this... By the way I've seen SVT caps on Ebay for way cheaper.... Marc 1998.5 SVT
