Cal Special Front fascia or not
Cal Special Front fascia or not
I have been thinking about this for a long time now. I really like the CS front fascia but i dont know how it would look on the car. I love the lines now and it seems to be just right and everything flows. Dont know if the CS Fascia will be too much. What do yall think?
I say go for it! I think it will complement the hood by lowering the front end and making it a bit more aggressive. With that said though, it might be interesting to look at the Shelby front and CDC chin's as options too, if someone could photoshop each of them for you. Assuming you like those too. I think any of them would look great. I went with the CDC Classic, but have the stock hood, in case you were interested in another reference, but I do think the GT/CS would look good.

I think the GT/CS front would look awesome on your car. Having that front on my car I am biased. But I think it is a nice match for the lower body line that runs along the side and back of the car.
This photo is a similar view to yours so I am hoping you could use it in a photoshop.
BTW: Beautiful car !!!

They're the Shelby brake duct/light bezels. Got them from Moss Muscle along with the PIAA fog lights:

Marcello at SilverHorse Racing produced these for us at the request of many CS owners. It looks completely OEM. The man is a genius.

Thank you for your service!

The stripes are flat or matte black stripes. In the photo it was at night and the flourescent lights in the parking garage play tricks on the finish of the stripes. Which is what I was going for anyway. I installed them myself in an afternoon. There's even a how-to here from Taco Bill on how to do it and BSM's instructions are good too. The only hard parts were the front bumper and the ducktail spoiler.

Yes I do have a hide away front plate. I took the plate off a while back for some photos and got tagged the next day by a state trooper. So I found this alternative. The CS front fascia is 1.5" lower (or extends 1.5" lower) than the stock GT. Plus I've got the FRPP springs so it's a full 3" lower. I honestly haven't had any trouble. I just take it easy on driveways. It mounts pretty easily to the plastic down there on the CS bumper.

Looks like STL-GT has the same front hide-away plate.

GT/CS:

CDC Classic:

Hopefully this helps you visualize, even though it's a pretty quick 'chop so it's not very clean.
