Why doesn't somebody clone these? Surely for much less than $250 you could have a set custom made.

I got lucky when I got mine for 59 bucks back when you could get a few for a reasonable price. If they ever get to a grand a set I will sell them.

Somedays I think we're just as bad as the "Powered by Honda" BS when we're paying $250+ for EMBLEMS

Cripes!! Give me a heat gun, a roll of dental floss, and a black jumpsuit and I'll have both of our cars paid off in one night of mischief. That's outrageous!!

I don't think anyone is selling reproductions yet because Ford will just come along and say... 'no, no..'

I am working with a CNC machinsts who can alter these by 10% and they will be legal as long as we change the paint scheme. I have rough drawings from CAD, but agreement forbids me at this time to post. They are going to production very soon I am told.

The sets we see on ebay could be repros. How would Ford or Shelby or any buyer really know?

Look pretty cool, but $261...YIKES... 4 different people have bid, yet one person has bid 12 or 13 times. Looks like a self markup to me..Unless there is a reserve.

That's funny! If I had them on my car I'd be taking them off and looking for something else... -Joe

I do have them on my car and I do get tempeted to sell them but I would assume that since mine would be used that the price would be at least a tad lower. At that point it's not worth the effort to get them off and shop for others.
