Great Find,

That's looking much better... I can't wait to see alloy grey as well

It looks like that new spoiler is more of a ducktail style, although i don't think it is well executed

I got a chance to see the Alloy Grey paint on a 2007 Shelby GT500 convertible today, I think its one of the nicest Greys out there. Its a very smooth looking color on the Shelby.

How did the Alloy Grey compare to Tungsten?? Darker I assume. Was it almost black as one other person said it was?? Trying to decide between Vista Blue and Alloy when I order my '07 Vert next month.

Thanks.

It is quite a bit darker, its a very smooth looking color too, almost a smokey black kinda grey. I thought it looked good, wish the would have let us take them outside, but that was a no no. I think the comparison of it being almost black is very good, that thought crossed my mind since the Alloy grey Shelby was parked next to a black Shelby.

Thanks. As I caught up to it in my 06 GT on the freeway, I thought it was the Orange Shelby convertible that left a few minutes earlier than I did from the Plant. Unfortunately it wasnt the Shelby, but still a rare find, 2007 V6 Pony package Mustang.

I dont care for that spoiler, not sure if that is a production piece or if thats a test item. I want the spoiler from the 07 Shelby personally.

I'm diggin the black rocker panels. Any chance that'll be standard?

Not diggin the spoiler too much. Why won't Ford invest in a 3 piece ducktail? Will the one-piece ducktails result in a paint shadow where they overlap the rear quarters?

The one thing that I do like about the spoiler is how the CHMSL looks better.

I don't understand why the grey rocker panel from the Shelby is on this car. I LOVE the black trim that goes all around the GT500, but here without it in the back (while it is on the sides) looks HORRIBLE. Why would it be there?

I kinda like the spoiler though.

That new spoiler looks horrible. I like the paint though.
