You know, as I read this it is funny how things get twisted and are taken when typed and not spoken.

First off I think the detail and the work that went into the console and grill are great. It takes time, experience and initiative, to come up with your own design, deveop it and finally make it. I imagine some will be asking if any of these parts may be offered for sale in the future. I think they look great but not sure I would do it in my Cobra kit, but I am sure I am doing plenty that others will scratch their head and question, why did he do that, and thats fine its all a part of it.

I think this thread took a turn with richsd first post.

"Detail" is not the first word that comes to mind for me. A reminder as to why I haven't looked at this forum for over 6 months. I hope that a Cobra forum will exist someday.

Not the most polite or professional way to state your opinion, in my opinion. With one sentence you stated pretty clearly your dislike for the after market options added here, but then you go on and slam the whole forum, and its hard not to feel somewhat offended by the comments. Everyone on here has a love for the Cobra, some build them to be exact replicas of the original, some are unsure what orignal is and some love to hot rod theres. You dont have to like them all or any of them, and I feel you are free on this forum to state your opinion without being beaten down, but then manner in which you offer your opinion determines the feed back you will get. My first thoughts when reading your first post is "wow: this guy really hates these modification and has a real issue and dislike for this forum. If this would have been my thread and pictures of modifications I had made I would have really been offended by your comments. But as I read all of your post on this thread I agree that you have a valid point and I agree it should be a seperate thread to get your opinion out and to get feedback on it. It sounds to me like you are really questioning why someone would buy or build a replica of a Cobra and then start modifing it and making so many change it no longer truely replicates the car it is a replica of, well thats a valid question, I did it with mine and I cant tell you why other then I wanted to and I could. I wonder if there is a forum for 32' Ford coupes that is asking why these are being hot rodded and not being built to replicate the original as Henery Ford designed, as these are all replicas after all. Just my 2 maybe 3 cents. Jim
