**** guys, those cars look awesome. How much was the conversion for those of you who replaced the hood and front bumper?

 

Very Nice. Tastefully done guys.

 

Finally got some pictures of mine. Thanks KC. Just have to decide what to put on the front grill but thinking it looks good naked.

 

Hey KC,

I'm very interested in the GT500 front & rear fascias. I've obtained your hotsheets and hope to order in early '07. In the interem, I was wondering how the lower splitter/spoiler on GT500 front bumper might match up to the front bumper of my '06 Stang w/Pony Pkg? In the pics I've seen, the contours look pretty similar. Have you/could you mock one up to see?

TIA, Billy

 

Looks great with the simple, no ornament, grille. The rear blackout looks good too.

 

The Shelby Splitter has a strange Honeycomb on the the lower section which will not mate up with a stock bumper. I tried it on my 05 and I could not see it working.

One step closer KC!!!!

 

Called Kevin and ordered my GT/CS front and rear conversion kits today. Got bumped at a gas station, so figured why not?

I'll post pics as soon as it's done.

 

This is exactly what I've been looking for. I e-mailed Kevin last night, so hopefully I'll hear back from him soon. Great pics, all of your cars look awesome -

 

Bumpers are here already, I'll drop them off at the painters this afternoon.

 

I didn't quite have the $$$ for the full makeover since I really wanted painted striped so I just did gt/cs/500 rear bumper and spoiler.

 

VERY 1966 Gt 350 Look! I love it! Scoop and Center Fog Grille would enhance the Look! BTMO. Nice Job!

I'm very close to installing all my parts. I'm thinking of doing the rear bumper tomorrow and the front end over the Thanksgiving weekend. I have a few quick questions:

What's involved in replacing the rear bumper cover? From the looks of the new cover, it's basically a bolt-on. And about how long does it take? Is it necessary to remove the exhaust pipes?

The rear bumper is easy, look under that back and you will see the bolts to take off and in the trunk there are about 5 or 6 behind the trim panel!! Piece of cake!! Switch over the plate light and the markers and bolt her right on!!

 

Another thing to move over is the stiffener which will require several pop rivets. All in all its a pretty straightforward project!

 

soon! very soon..
as soon as i get my car...this shelby conversion is IMPERATIVE

 

Thanks for the input guys. I got both the front and rear bumpers changed over Saturday! The final step is to buy a hood (I'm working on this).

I'm fairly new here so no one here knows me that well. I've always liked to make my cars unique in some minute way but tasteful -- something no one else has done. I like something different from every angle, front, side and rear. I'm going to share with you one of my proudest unique mods, my rear shot. Ya see, I've never liked the third brake light on S197s. To me, it looks like an afterthought... Ford engineer speaking, "Oops, we forgot to design a third brake light. Let's just stick one 'here' and do it as cheaply as possible." This is the way I look at it and decided to do something about it. Check out the pic!

Deleting the stock third brake light made room to do what I wanted to do with the lettering!! I think this is the way Ford SHOULD have done it.... Instead, they had to scrunch the SHELBY lettering to one side because the third brake light got in the way..... NOT ON MY CAR!!

Oh, and my license plate was not chosen by design on this car. I had it on my '03 Cobra which was transferred when I sold it. When I bought my '05s, I had no idea Shelby parts were available... until I found this website..... Darn you Kevin!!

Willie

 

Very Cool and Very Clean!

KC

 

Looks Great!!!!

 

Two questions--
1) Is there a hood available that has the hump in the middle without the vents on top,
and 2) Are there billet grilles available for the 07 GT500 yet?
Thanks guys!
