As I mentioned, these are Supershaker upgrade kits for the Saleen series VI superchargers which are not included..

Unfortunately this also means that Saleen won't be back to making them being as they discontinued production more than several years ago..

Therefore the Supershakers currently in stock through Brenspeed and 281 motorsports are remaining/leftover spare parts and once they're finally sold out, they'll no longer be available !

Only thing I've done is the GT500 lower rear valence with gt500 quads, CF driveshaft, and a ProCharger i-1.

Mine is a 2013 MCA convertible. The Hellion turbo makes it unique - as well as the CDC Performance Grille, Roush lower grille, CDC RTR front chin painted body color, CDC side splitters, CDC rear splitters, RTR license plate surround, custom lighted door sills (say "2013 MCA Edition" in lights with "by Classic Design Concepts" and "Woodward Dream Cruise August 2012" written on either side of that); tinted front markers, CDC light bar.

Truly unique is the hood. One of only 4 in existence, a cowl hood by Revelare Designs with the GT hood vents in it. Painted by Carl's Custom Creations with a gloss black stripe.

before I even got mine, I had photoshopped crudely taking out the widows on the first picture of a vista blue I found online...mine was on order a month before I got to even see the color...anyway, thought a lot along the same lines as you on the looks, slats/black trim/70 mach1-ish stripe around a shaker- only difference, I wanted a 69 emblem on roof

heres that crude old photoshop picture, and one of the hood the day we painted it in 2010...yeah I'm a little slow

I painted the lower trim line/rockers too, added a taillight blackout (would like to see a full rear view of yours with the Cervini/shelby setup) but havent done any mods yet...just finally got a tuner last year- yeah, wish i'd bought that 9 yrs ago, really perks up the car

If you are talking about the 69 round emblem that goes near the quarter windows, I have them and was thinking of putting them on, but they looked a little too small for the area.

yeah, I always loved the 69 emblems- but i can see where youre probably right- the sail panel is a lot bigger than on a 69... maybe call SHR and see if Marcello could whip you up a set at 125% scale
I ended up procrastinating- had talked to Shawn from Fang performance at the all ford swap meet about getting their conversion-plus filling the roof, he said he was thinking about doing same to his...he had a black one with silver stripes there that I just couldnt quit drooling over- really liked everything they did, shame they didnt make it...I did wind up with three of their shaker hoods though
on the roof, I saw SHR's teaser pics of their flush louvers and fell in love, got two sets of those here- actually 3, my first set I screwed up - didnt use the adhesion promoter- and they came loose that summer, pulling them out, i screwed up the paint- really pissed me off as 100% my fault for not following directions, but I had spent like 12 hours painting that first set, was super proud of how they turned out- they are a royal bear to paint/mask... didnt have time to redo, so just ordered prepaints to replace them...SHR does a good job on the prepaint, heck I had 200 in materials on that first set- prepaints were cheaper and effortless
still have another new set of prepaints in the trunk of the 09 for 'someday'...just ordered a rear medallion like the one on Brad Barnett's 'project source horse' always loved that look too...will try it on, probably will end up with them on the other 2 cars too someday... SHR has a lot of nice stuff, like a jewelry store for your car- love that its all made here too.

anyways, Ive always been partial to black-on-blue, gotta say love the black trim on the windveil blue as well

Like all Mustang lovers. We all want our Stang to be different from off the showroom floor run of the mill rides. I have had fun making mine all mine.

Just by your pics, I can tell just how passionate you are about your Mustang as she's definitely a real head turner and absolutely gorgeous

Exterior wise, I did little. Just the Shelby spoiler ($99 including paint), the vinyl blackout on the back, chrome tail pipes, covers on the mirrors and the 18 inch polished Bullitts.

I have no mechanical mods (except a strut tower bar). The mods are mostly in the interior, and pretty hard to notice, as most is retrofitted. I have:

-Honda S2000 start button
-chromed Ford Fusion door grommets
-interior chrome door handles from Ford Taurus
-chromed bezel around auto shifter
-Ford Racing illuminated door sill Mustang script
-retrofitted Ford DVD headrests (I have sooo much more peace and quiet in the car now!!)
-retrofitted nav unit
-Bullitt steering wheel
-retrofitted ambient lighting
-one touch turn signals
-one touch rear windows
-blue gauge faces
-my own e-brake boot
-shelby e-brake handle
-retrofitted power passenger seat
-retrofitted heated seats
-interior has been changed from dove grey to charcoal black
-rear camera mirror (camera in the trunk keyhole)

I have everything to change the colour of the interior. The interior is now completely black, unlike the photos that still show the grey seats and carpet. Most of the parts are courtesy of KC.

I will say that the biggest pain was changing the entire dash, as the whole thing had to be pulled out.
Hey i know this post is super old but i was just scrolling through and noticed what you had done to your interior and i have been wanting to do the same thing (changing the interior from grey to charcoal) but how did you go about doing that? Where did you get the pieces and how much did it cost overall?
My interior is completely grey and is the only thing i havent been very happy with my car lol. Beautiful stang you have there by the way.

Mine is unique because . . . . . . . . .
it's a 2010! The "red headed stepchild" of Mustangs.

And, I don't even care that I don't have the Coyote engine, it's modded with the road track in mind and it works just fine for me.

Wow I have to agree, there are some awesome looking Mustangs on here.
Not sure how unique mine is, but the wheel is on the other side. Working on the uniqueness.






And I I'm super protective of my new ride.

In a way your actually far better off keeping your car completely stock.. Once you start modding, it becomes an addiction in which you can't stop, as your never really satisfied lol.

Also keeping your engine N/A is much less stressful on your components and will extend the lifespan as well..

IMO ! Your Mustang is most definitely unique.. For yours is the first S197 I've seen with the steering column on the right hand side

Too True, I have only had my car for a few months but now I am spending a lot of time browsing american muscle.com etc. So many goodies Haha
Just about to sell my offroader (that was part of the deal with the wife, one toy had to go) to pay back the bathroom money I borrowed to buy the car.

But I should end up with an extra $1000, so guess where that is going.
