Its done finally

[SuperHO]

...my only question is how come everyone who does anything radical does it on a Gen 1? Where's all the gen 2 Sickies?



First person who posts a picture of that purple/silver/bumper winged gen 2 SLO will wake up tommorrow to find I've been in their house with spray paint, full bowels and several IEDs...

 

[DDakRT]

Good work on the car, not exactly my thing but I love how everything fits nicely and look like they were made for your car! Very nice work

 

[CerberuS]

I really like the side ones , although the front & rear seems a little bit ricy,
Its the bes looking kit ever saw on a SHO.

Doupt i'd buy one though. Kills the taurus from being a sleeper.

 

[shotiime91]

I like it-looks good-black rims even look good! But the off-road lights gotta go or move them to the corners maybe?
I like it!

 

[SuperHO]

my question is what's that hood from? I may just pirate that idea......

 

[nc89sho]

acctually... i like it overall. the kit seems to fit the car. and the wing isn't bad either. i agree though that the fog lights are kindov ugly. i'm most impressed with the front bumper though. it really seems to follow the natural shape of the car. over all.. i'd rock it.

 

[dmoo21]

i will second the idea of a huge front mount IC that would be more hottness

again, sweet ride

 

[SinisterSHO]

I'm not diggin the big frog lights either, and I think the back end could be a little..different. But overall, I think it looks good.

 

[shantz]

SuperHO, where did you get the kit? Obviously they are all individual pieces that you've pieced together, but I'd like to know what you've got. I really dig the look. It takes a second glance to reappy appreciate it, and having been in the body shop industry for the past 8 years, I can appreciate all of the work that you've done too.

The car is not SuperHO's, it belongs to Shosovernow.

The car looks good. I like the Blackness, very dark and mysterious. The fit and finish looks to be very good.

 

[masho95]

How does that front bumper like speed bumps and sharo inclines?

Overall I'm not a huge fan, but I like the fact that you love it and don't care what anyone else thinks. That's the most important part The whole car look like it has an immense amount of work and love into it, and I give you MAJOR props for that. Keep up the good work and enjoy the SHO.

[sdpatt]

Darth Vader, your car is ready.

 

[shosovernow]

I have to enter most driveways sideways and very slow and sometimes it still scrapes but i just bought a full air ride suspension system for it and i will be installing it this winter while the car is parked and then i wont have to worry about the bumper also at shows i can slam it on the ground and get more attention.thanks again yeah the car is evil looking and darth vader would love it lol

 

[Calypso]

I really like it. Definetely the best body kit I've seen for the SHO. Like all the others said, I'd lose the rally lights, turbo it, and put an intercooler in there. Just get some high powered fog lights to put in the bumper so that you can still see at night.

Nice work

-Matt

 

[adidas_kn]

Holy cow man! That is Hawt! I gotta give you props for the originality of it. Now if you could just get somebody to make a kit for the Gen 2. The Black on Black looks sweet and really help pull that extreme kit off. You should see if they would make something not so wild for the Gen 1 and Gen 2 owners. I have some creative Ideas that would look nice on our cars. BTW how much did the Body kit fabrication alone cost you? And where was it done at?

Keep it up man and we all hope to see that thing spooling up a turbo or 2 soon.

 

[ritmusic2k]

Okay,

I can't really explain it, but it looks like a 4-door mustang (late '90s) to me. That's not a bad thing at all.

I agree with most that the large rally lights are a bit incongruous with the rest of the vehicle, but I think moving them away from the centerline will make it much easier to look at.

Very happy to hear that this thing isn't just done over for looks. Very impressed with the resources and effort you put into this. I assume you're going to race it and compete at shows?

EDIT: The front and rear pictures speak 'mustang' to me, not the side - so, depending on the viewing angle, I get different impressions.

 

[SHO2NV]

Friggin awesome!!!

You gotta bring that to the Convention next year.

 

[MYSHO1]

wow... i really dont know what to say i DO like it... a intercooler would be hott in that grill area also!

 

[shosovernow]

Thank you guys i am happy you like it i have some piaa HID foglights coming for the outer corners because the lights wont fit with intercooler i have. So the rallye lights arent permanent but i had to do something so i could drive it at night.Also extreme dimensions fabbed the kit on a friends car in california and gave it to him for letting them use his car for the prototype and then i bought it from him it fit like crap so we had to modiify and mold and do alot of fitting to make it work i swear i've had the bumpers off like 100 times the side skirts where the easiest.I dont know about a kit for the second gen but i just bought a green 93 so look out soon it will be pretty custom i already modified the hood and the bumper for the 93 next will be the side skirts and then the back bumper.Takes time and money but when its done i'll post it to.Yes i plan to race this car and enter it into has many shows as possible.Where is the next convention because i live in Anchorage Alaska so if its not to far away i would like to show up it will still be far but you know what i mean.Thanks again guys.
