Fogs look a bit small for me, but the hood and everything looks pretty cool ..

I like the small fogs. It gives it a very clean, kind-of euro look. That car sits with a mean stance, but very upscale. Looks good.

I really like the grille too, at first I didn't as much, but the more I look at it, the more I like it... I would love to have it but without the Shelby lettering...

But $335 for the grille?! Woo Boy...

re:

If I were to pay $15,000 for the full kit I would have to have the Shelby on there. I wouldn't want people thinking I bought a knock off or some thing.

Yeah, that's the Shelby CS 6. A V6 Mustang with 350+ HP. Wish I could afford it. ($14999.00 for the complete kit) But I'd like it without the side stripes & badging. Would love to still look like my plain 'ol V6 for when the few stock GT's that may look down upon me I'd know I could wipe the street with them. Looks can be so deceiving. Hee-hee.

If I was getting the whole kit, hell yeah I would want the lettering on there, but if I were putting that on my car now, I wouldn't want the lettering and that's what I was reffering to...

No offense intended, but please don't use the term 'euro' and Mustang in the same sentence. USA still rules!

I personally think the fit and finish of this grill looks **** pore
exibit "A"


Just look the exposed "because we couldn't figure out a better way to do it" bolt heads
and the cheap door trim around the foglight hole and the cheap corner piece...geeze you can mold a rounded corner but not a 90 degree one???
And going by this pic that grate material look really thin ..like a good breeze can bend it.
I wont even mention the warped trim pice between the bumper and the grille..whoops sorry didn't mean to mention that.

But hey if you like it then go for it

I have to agree with you....they could have done a much better job, quality wise!

You beat me to it..I was thinking those were supposed to be decorative rivets like you see on rims.Nice closeup to reveal the aweful truth about that grill. Jmo but I also don't care for hood pins either.They look cheesy to me

The grille looks like mine on my 2001 Ford F150 Lariet. I do like the small fogs, it gives it class. Overall the car is Cool. I wouldn't mind having it.

its not much different than the fit and finish of the pre 68 Shelbys, the 67s were horrible when they came out, the trunk lids and hoods didnt fit, the color match of the non-ford parts wasnt all that great either. Most of the Shelbys we see now have been over restored for the most part.
However, the early GT-350s and GT-500 were pure business on the street and track!, not prissy wallflowers at all.
In 1968 Shelby production was moved to a factory atmosphere in Ionia Michigan, the parts were more civilised and quality was much better.
