    I think it looks good just the way it is and the way the owner wants it.:tiphat:

    I think Joe Riggio on here knows who it is:)

    In a way, it reminds me of the Bullitt Mustang. Especially the front pic. Awesome car.

    I like that front shot too .... (y)

    I like the way the inner ring on the headlight bezel has been blacked out. Very clean look to it.

    Not inlucded


    Of the pics that I have seen of Brazillian Mavs, they didn't have side markers.
    Many of them had auxiliary driving lamps or running lamps on the front. I guess
    they could have been signal lights.

    I just went to the gallery and all the Brazillian Mavericks have no side markers.

    I think the Cobra emblem is a little to far to the left. Needs to be scooted the other way a little.

    Hey!

    I like the steering wheel! Looks sorta like my LeCarra.
    I know the name brand of that but can't remember what it is.

    I like the glove box!


    Edit: Did anyone notice the Stang pedal bezels and disc brake logo?

    Check out the insturment cluster. The odometer is in the silver part instead of down in the black part and there are only 3 idiot lights at the bottom. The fuel gauge is twice the size.

    I agree that it needs a package tray or something under the dash. Don't really like the glove box, but I could live with it. Never realized Brazilian Mavericks had so many little details that were diffrent from U.S. models. I think Dan Hines has one of those disc brake pedals in his red grabber. The steering wheel isn't my cup of tea.

    I looked at mine and it is half way of what you say instead of all the way down. But mine does not have the silver facia. Does any of the year Mavs? Anyone? I like that. It dresses it up a bit.
    The aftermarket stereo. Is that the factory location of where the stock one would be?
    The headlight and washer knobs look like they have some kind of markings on them.
    Flat knobs on the climate controls.
    Square molded kick panels for speakers.
    Oh, and check out that sweeeet dash pad!:mg:
