i can think of three reasons, its so that there aren't that many clones on the street, they can make even more money because no matter how much they charge people are still going to buy the parts. Lastly, they need parts to be availible when someone who owns a gt500 needs colision parts.

painted
painted mine first
All of these cars are great looking 
. I saw my first GT 500 two days ago at my dealer (it was used though) and my heart just skipped a beat! My wife fell in love with it also. Anyway, I had planning on doing this conversion, probably by this spring. For those of you who installed the parts yourself did you paint the parts first (if thats possible on parts that size) then install them, or did you install the primed parts on the car and have them painted while they were on the car??? Thanks.

Thanks Kev!quick question for you, where did you get the black rockers and are your stripes painted or 3M? if painted how much does it cost roughly? what about the transition between the masking tape and edge is there an ugly bump?

I REALLY want to update my Convertible with the GT500 Front and Rear. I see you sent some kits to Germany, so what would it cost to send a kit to Austria? I´d like to have the GT500 front bumper, hood, rear bumper with all necessary parts. Could you please send me a quote for that?

Well, I spoke to Kevin earlier today and finally pulled the trigger on the purchase of the GT500 front facia conversion kit. He was very helpful and a pleasure to do business with.
Next I will be negotiating for the best pricing on a GT500 hood and rear bumper cover with some local dealers to complete my parts list. I just wanted to say "Thank You" again Kevin for your help and suggestions also.

So I wrote an E-Mail to my local Ford Dealer asking about Shelby parts for a GT Mustang and got the following reply:
"I'm writing to you about your request for the Shelby GT 500 parts. I just got off the phone with Ford motor company and they are not releasing these. You can't buy them there as they are preventing people from cloning a vehicle that is not a GT 500 - very sorry that I can help you out maybe in a couple of years they will be available but as of right now you cannot get these parts. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call again my name is Nancy thanks."

it's a 68 themed hood.
a great quality hood-very little prep work was needed according to my paint shop. i can't imagine my conversion without this hood.
i can't help it, but i really like a dark, sinister, black-out look. i may even black chrome my exhaust tips.

Where did you get the KR-style hood?
Also, what wheels are those--they look great! Size & width?
