Hello everyone Im new here to NECO and I've been checking everyones threads out. I've finally found some parts I've been looking for thanks to everyone on here. I've got a 99 coug and I love her. I messed around and got a bike last summer and ended up ignoring her for a year other than in the winter time. Well needless to say spring came around and I opened her top and dang I didn't realize how much I missed her. Not to much custumization on her yet. Just been dropped 2 inches Drift body kit carbon fiber hood. Split the exhaust and put to import style fart cans on the back. And I've looked at a couple of threads on it and me personally I love the way mine sounds and looks I get a lot of compliments on it. I've been thinking about doing the MTX to ATX transfer cuz I miss my MTX from my other cars. I've got a few ideas on some cuxtoms but don't know yet. Has anyone ever seen or heard of anyone doing a hollywood style top like on the Toyota Supras?? I've thought about it but im not for sure. Well hit me up sometimes hope to hear from everyone

It's called a "Targa Top", and this chassis isn't braced for it. Somebody did it once; the car didn't last long. It folds in half like a taco.

Style?
Class?
Bare carbon fiber is going to be looked upon like underbody neons or spinner hubcaps in about 5 years. Get ahead of the curve.

I think you got it the wrong way. Now paint your hood it looks silly! But I guess it matches your Ricer fart can mufflers. :tongue:

lol well i happen to like my fart cans lol I'll see about getting some good pics on here of her i haven't taken any pics in a while. My roomate borrowed her one day and like I said she had been lowered and he hit a dip in the highway doing 80 and shattered the front bumper so Im in the process of getting a new one. I've always liked the bare CF look personally I forgot exactly what color my car is all I remember was that its a tri color.

the color is laser red. was your hood cleared or did u order it and install it. u might want to get it re cleared with the clear with UV protectant in it . you wouldn't want it yellowing on you
