Ok, I have thinking about this for a while and had looked into aftermarket parts to no avail so I decided to tackle this project. I have the special "mystichrome" paint and unfortunately the only year they used this is on the 04 SVT Cobra Mustang. The problem arises when the only kit available is the Revell 1999 SVT Cobra which, incidentally, is a much different animal. The link below will show you what I am striving for:

You can see the difference in the 1999 here and compare:

Here are the things I will have to fabricate/change:
1) The hood is totally different and will have to be basically reconstructed. 99' has a rounded cutout with narrow vent. 04' has a more raised hood with beveled cutouts and dual venting.
2) The lower front fascia and driving light surrounds on the 04' are differently shaped (rounded) and protrude on the sides compared to the 99 which are flared and pointed in shape.
3) The rear spoiler and brake light will have to be totally scratchbuilt and is flush with the trunk on the 04' whereas it is arched and sits atop the trunk on the 99'
4) The rear fascia again is flush on the 04' with the word "Cobra" embossed instead of "Mustang." The lower half of the 99 rear fascia has a large vented area.
5) The 04' is supercharged and necessitates the addition of a mini blower setup and pulley cover which is quite different than the 99'
and 6) The wheels between both are slightly different, the 04' having a recessed hub area and the 99' is flush.
Quite an undertaking, but I think I hit on all the obvious differences. I have in fact started this and will be posting progress pics soon. Feel free to follow along and submit questions and comments.
