i like it, but not enough to want to do it myself, just bugs me a little that the hood vents don't line up with the front fascia...

You are right, they don't line up the same way the concept mustang did.

Is this the only person that ever did a conversion like this? do we have anybody else with this setup?

From what I have read the 500 hood will fit a gt but the 500 facia wont work with a gt style hood.

That had to be some major work to get it to fit right.

Guys with shelbys are *****ing because shelby is releasing the new KR hood but it is going to cost them 1800 bucks just for a hood that fits.

Myself I have gone with the Cervini KR style hood and a cheep chin spoiler till Saleen releases the PJ/Heritage facia for sale. It looks very similar to a 500 facia without the slanted section by the lights. Mine comes out of the paint shop this thursday and I will post pics.

i'm going to post pix of mine soon-in about 2 weeks. doing my front end conversion with the cali dream hood in black.

however, i'm switching out to the race factory gt500 kr replica hood, but i'll take pix before i take the cali dream hood off so at least you'll have an idea of what it looks like in black.

here's a link to the new hood i'm getting: http://theracecarfactory.com/html/20...y_gt500_4.html

i'll post pix of my cali hood with shelby front end asap when i get back.

Hi Rony.
Unless you are getting all the shelby parts a gt hood wont fit without alot of modification a GT Hood the dream hood is for a gt not a shelby 500 facia. the facia is taller in the middle part that is the reason the shelby hood has a rise in the center.

You could pay alot to have a shop modify it for you but a cheeper alternative is to go out and get a Saleen PJ/Heritage facia it is very similar to a gt 500 just doesnt slant and fits all the gt hoods like the KR i have and the dream hood you have spoke about.

Unless you have some really deep pockets that is the route I would go.
