Aerospeed makes some. The black Evo in Modified Mag had some that looked nice. I wouldn't mind having them either.

That is cool!!!! I loved that car..... so fun to drive... Sometimes I miss the power. I had the tick and Ford voided my warranty because of rubber in the fender wells (abuse).. Anyway, I hired an attorney and sued them... They settled!!!! Anyway, I will never buy a Ford again!!!!

I will always love that car + hate Ford... I do feel fortunate to have owned both of these cars. I love the Evo as well for totally different reasons.

Why did you sell yours????

I work for Ford. No biggie though. I can understand.

My car started smoking on start up and they had no idea how to fix it. Kept giving me the run around and all. Got tired of it and just traded it in. It was a beast though. It dynoed 390 to the wheels totally stock and 375 lbs of torque. I couldn't mod it because I didn't want them blaming me for the problems I was having.

I miss it from time to time. My goal is to have my Evo as fast as my Cobra was stock. I'd be happy witht that.

That is my goal as well... I trapped 109 stock in that car.... I've already bought some goodies for the car, so it won't be long before I can hang with some LS1s (-:

Winston,

How much were they new? I had no idea they were that expensive.. I probably need to find something else to buy... 100 per pound saved! Yikes!

All needed for one car (twenty).

Can't tell you how heavy they are, I can weight them tonight and reply, I can tell you however that they are ALOT lighter than stock.

If you use them, you MUST use some sort of anti-seize on the studs, otherwise they'll gall (cold weld) onto the studs and you'll never get it out. Of course, the problem w/ using anti-seize or any kind of lubricant on the studs is that you'll get erroneous torque readings on the lugs.

The same warning goes for aluminum lug nuts.

I just don't think those are needed. I'm pretty sure you can buy something alot more useful for that much money.
