A little hard, since they only made 300 of them. You can easily make a replica though. Due to the popular look, lots of companies make replica wheels hoods, spoilers and airdams

The spoiler does go like | \ as in this pic:


The engine may be a little hard to do, as you won't have the decals. Here's what the cobra R 5.4 looks like:


To make the engine, I suggest starting with the regular 4.6 engine, as it will only require some work to the intake. The Cobra R uses a 5.4 and so does the super stallion, but the super stallion looks a lot different due to the piping and the fact that there's a roots supercharger and intercooler. The fact that the R uses a 5.4 and the GT uses a 4.6 isn't a big deal in modeling. Its not like your gonna take a model engine apart and measure the bore/stroke.

here's what the super stallion engine looks like:



Oh, and as well for the 00 Cobra R: Its interior was stripped. No back seats, no stereo, a/c, and black recaro racing buckets.


Ride height is also 1.5" lower than stock. Are you using the 99 cobra kit? The 00 R came with bigger front rotors as well. The 99 cobra has an IRS, so that saves a ton of work
