A few GT/CS/ Shelby GT rear fascia photos

I went back by the dealer today to check on my GT/CS bmper cover and low and behold they had a white Shelby GT in stock.

I have attached a close up of the textured rear rocker of the Shelby GT bumper.

As you can see it is indeed textured.

This isn't nearly as obvious as I expected it to be.

Of course the details are in your painters ability to apply the paint to your conversion bumper so it will look factory.

I have also enclosed a couple of close up pics of the unpainted GT/CS bumper that I will now be having painted next week without a weekends worth of sanding with 400 grit.

Hope this helps

So why did you peel off the masking? The texture of the raw cover is greatly diminished after a couple coats of primer and paint.

I appreciate the correction.

I wasn't really thinking hard about that when I typed it.


Now, if we can just educate those that think "prolly" is the word "probably".


Here's the low-down

lo and behold

In a letter...I started to write lo and behold and realized that I was unsure of the spelling. Is it lo and behold or low and behold? I asked a few people and we can't seem to agree.
It's definitely lo, an interjection meaning 'look! see! (frequently used in Biblical expressions; now usually used as an expression of surprise in the phrase lo and behold)'. Just to confuse us, though, "low" was one of the many early spellings for that interjection, in a list that also includes "lou," "lowe," and "loo." But that "low" is not the one that means the opposite of "high," and the two words are not etymologically related. To confuse us further, we now have another "lo," which does mean 'low', as in "lo-calorie." No wonder people find English baffling.

I am kind of wondering the samething? Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Rob right in the fact that with a few coats of primer and so forth the issue with the texture will be absolved?

Yeah, I think everything will be fine with just layering the heck out of it.

I mean you had to get right up on the Shelby GT and basically rub your hand on the textured part to even know it was like that.

I don't know if the masking got shaken loose in transit or what but at least it didn't come all of the way off.
