UNBELIEVABLE Paint Restoration Detailing on my CHEAP Terminator Cobra

fordshowparts....
I bought a 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 10th Anniversary aka Terminator Cobra. It was the cheapest one in North America that was running, has a clean title, needs nearly nothing, and can be driven and enjoyed as is. In this video, I'm getting a professional paint correction and detailing at Dre's Auto Detailing. Dre and his team did a 3 stage paint correction, stone chip repair, Feynlab ceramic coating, and interior detailing. The windshield stone chips were repaired by @TitanAutoglass.kw. The windshield and headlights were protected by @Exo.Shield. The dents were pulled Paintless Dent Removal by Cesar at www.primelined.... Thanks to Summit Racing, Borla Exhaust, Maximum Motorsports, and Steeda for supporting this build series.

Dre nailed this project!! We are so proud we could be a part of it 🤝🛡️

[@itsreallyjakub]

Thank you!!

Glad to see the 10th Anniversary Termi get the love it deserves❤

[@greyestfox]

Looks amazing! $3K is less than I thought it would be for this level of work- expensive but appropriate for a car like this.

[@racequad9]

I wonder what it would cost just to have it repainted? Don't get me wrong, it looks so much better, but at that price, it might have been better to just get it repainted

[@TJShoop]

@@greyestfox worth EVERY penny for this classic.

[@satansnarwhal]

⁠@@racequad9to get a car prepped and painted by a reputable company these days is almost 10k anything less and you run a high risk of shoddy work and cut corners

[@racequad9]

@@satansnarwhal all the car needs is sanding and paint. I don't think there is much labor needed for it to be $10k. It's not like there is big damage that needs to be fixed. But maybe you're right for a paint job in your area; but in my area, a simple repaint would cost less than half including fixing the dings

[@romanjohal6319]

@@racequad9based on where Jakub lives it’ll prolly be around 10-15k depending on the paint

[@jamesmitchell9200]

I love that you're sharing this whole project with us. Getting to see your genuine excitement over having your dream car and improving it is so cool.

[@itsreallyjakub]

Thanks so much!!

[@kriscote3295]

What a freaking rad restoration!

[@itsreallyjakub]

Yeah they absolutely killed it. I had a whole process of what I was going to do to this car all summer and it's nice to see it all come together

[@jordanbailey8022]

That "bubble" like bump where the rear bumper meets the trunk is almost a standard Ford panel gap for that generation. My mom's 2004 GT Convertible had the same issue off the show room floor in the same exact spot.

[@itsreallyjakub]

Haha even my foxbody had something like that on the rear bumper too

[@nikkodnp]

@@itsreallyjakub Can be fixed with some heat and pressure to make it flat again!

[@dirkx2350]

3k is more than reasonable. I paid 3500 for a full paint correction, interior deep clean detail, full ppf and ceramic coat on my black 14 GT500. They also had it 5 days. Looks fantastic

[@itsreallyjakub]

Oooo right on GT500

[@MS-mr4zm]

Don’t ever pay for interior detailing….unless you’re REALLY lazy or REALLY rich…the rest of the stuff? Yeah for sure pay the pro it takes skill & it takes some good supplies/tools too

[@dirkx2350]

@@MS-mr4zm i agree. The interior detail was included with mine which they did a really good job on. I do most of my own detailing except paint correction. I have in the past, but I don’t have the time to dedicate to that anymore.

[@MS-mr4zm]

@@dirkx2350 yeah the place I had my wife’s MDX detailed at wanted an extra $350-$400 for the interior- no way! I can see on a really really trashed interior, but most car interiors you can get looking damn good on your own w/ standard household supplies & some elbow grease

[@dirkx2350]

@@MS-mr4zm 100% agree. Interior isn’t hard at all.

[@metaltera86]

The beginning was genius!

[@MorbidThrasher666]

Wow that thing is bling black now! Gorgeous! Just add the chrome cobra letters to the rear bumper now for final touch and dark tints. I always ran 5% tint on all my mustangs and had the dark banner tint too. Congrats and enjoy that classic beauty.

[@redstang70]

Its amazing what these detail guys can do, looks totally different. Previous owner didnt deserve the car, didnt give it the love it deserved.

[@ricky_ricardo]

Nice vid. I don't even own a mustang but this was Hella entertaining. The SVT came out kick ass

[@itsreallyjakub]

Appreciate that

[@JoseRivera-mv8lt]

[@itsreallyjakub]

For real. Wait for the next update on what I just got in the garage. Still can’t believe it

[@emc8548]

What a great video…so cool that you brought Dre to the rest of us in southwestern Ontario and the KZbin universe

[@smamq]

Your enthusiasm was so palpable through the screen. It felt as if I got my car detailed (which is black and is in similar if not worse condition cause previous owner did not take care of it). Congrats!

[@itsreallyjakub]

Much appreciated! Damn black cars

[@angelguidesabbath]

Both the team and these products are amazing. 😮 That transformation looks beautiful

[@LexusLuvAffair]

BRO! Perfect timing! I'm getting that LS430 inspected today. If I buy her, I've already bought a BUNCH of polishing goodies, including my first orbital polisher! 😬😀 I haven't even watched the video yet, but I'm stoked!

[@SakibLH44]

My god that intro is on another level ❤‍🔥

[@hazard502]

Stunning. The headlights and attention under the hood are my favourite parts. I didn’t know a film for the windshield even existed that’s so cool.

[@noahgoldowitz]

They absolutely crushed it, amazing result

[@AnnointedGamer]

For all your trim you can use tire shine as well. It has uv protectant and keeps it looking shiny. I use it for the svt badges on my raptor the hood vents and mirros.

[@Lethal_Venom]

That came out great! The area on the rear bumper that is wavy on the top of the bumper where you thought it was from being hit is normal and something that happened on many of the 03/04 cobras

[@itsreallyjakub]

Ah yes thanks

[@mouthbreathermtb4192]

NICE!

Perfect Corba ! Just had my 01 Black Camaro SS Detailed. Those 2 would look amazing together in a Photo Shoot.

[@lionsgarage]

Black Paint is hard to hide flaws on. I used to inspect cars that leave the factory.

[@ccampaaz2867]

Looks amazing! Friendly advice from a fellow black terminator owner. Close the trunk my placing your hand, or fingers on the license plate rather than the spoiler. You don’t leave fingerprints on the freshly cleaned paint lol.

[@itsreallyjakub]

Haha dude after the first time I closed it in this video, I’ve been using the license plate to close it ever since

[@OMGVelorium]

Slick intro, you had me going haha

[@Chris-Fortner]

Beautiful

[@cleysoptique8749]

I think the car came out looking pretty good and I'm glad it's nice and shiny My only complaint is the tire shine is just too aggressive and it just looks so unreal and not natural by any means. My best recommendation for a tire shine is to just use cerakote It actually works pretty well and it lasts quite a decent time and it looks more natural It looks like fresh new rubber not an overly saturated wet look

[@itsreallyjakub]

It doesn’t look like this anymore. It’s just a nice dark black

[@UnlimitedPotentialMusic]

Something interesting to do is to make a custom plate to put on that Eaton where the square in the front is at if you'r not going to replace the blower with something else. They did a great job, wowsa. It's still not perfect, but it's so clean

[@itsreallyjakub]

I’ll make a custom plate that says Kenne Bell or Whipple. No one will ever know

[@UnlimitedPotentialMusic]

@@itsreallyjakub haha 10-4

[@TheSVT03Cobra]

I own one of these and the bumper has a bump in the "Gap-Relation" to the trunk. Common on almost all the Cobras. There is a video oh you fix it, but it usually comes back after ~6month of driving. As for the clear coat crack on the rear bumper, that is also common. The crack eventually leads to clear coat popping off.

[@rallyeo75]

That looks amazing, I just worry that the PPF on the windshield will get scratched and look terrible in a few years. Otherwise, insane job!

[@itsreallyjakub]

Easy replacement

[@timbarito5586]

subtle Maxx reference

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

Just and FYI about the plastic outside cowl hood piece, they don't make them anymore. Mine was perfect and I sold mine after 2 minutes on FB marketplace and got $400 for it. I had 13 people after an hour that wanted it. I just said, whoever shows up first with $400 cash wins and that's what happened. This was during the Pandemic too, probably $800+ for it now. I tripled my money parting out a bunch of SN95's and Termi's (bought for parts).

[@itsreallyjakub]

Crazy. I don’t plan on swapping mine out

[@ReivaxThe1st]

The none flush part of the rear bumper is normal on the right side, they all have them. Both my Cobra and Mach 1, look the same there.

[@michael007ish]

It's good to see Foggy Nelson moving on.

[@tomieevukic7522]

It’s gonna make your car wash much easier! All the dirt and grime will just slide off easily

[@itsreallyjakub]

Yup all my cars are ceramic coated it’s the best

[@Joeybot]

you should know this being a cobra owner, the bump on the rear bumper ALL cobras have. it wasnt hit all cobra owners know about the notorious rear bumper bump. Also, you gotta keep the 10th anniversary floor mats not those aftermarket ones.. Lastly, its vin.. not Vin number. but beautiful 10th anniversary!

[@itsreallyjakub]

Yeah but the cracked paint and bumper indents

[@dbeckMSP]

interested to hear your opinion on the windshield protection film in 6 months time. my sister had one on her car a couple years ago and had it removed because it was causing some minor but noticeable distortion. maybe tech has improved since then!

[@itsreallyjakub]

They do have a newer version than the one I have. I may swap to that one. But no issues off the start
