I know the guy who makes those. Out of Missouri if I'm remembering correctly. It's called retrobuilt. The guy wasn't too smart bc he shut the rest of his shop down to solely do those conversions, and at 30k+ a car he doesn't get too too much work. The cool thing is that you can get the hail damaged mustangs for super cheap and turn them into that if you want to. Our friend has a grabber blue convertible one right now. He also tells us the guy that does the conversions got noticed by ford and long story short they're going to let him do a few and set them in the showroom to draw people in and buy cars. Not getting paid by ford but they're giving him advertisement and in turn hopefully selling cars by the customers brought in. Pretty neat stuff once the get all the body panels where they don't look so fake.

Here's my predicament by the way... Maybe you guys will have some good input. I'm close to buying the cs front and rear bumpers. But I've thought about spending less money and just going with the CDC aggressive front spoiler. I would add a splitter for looks and also to hold the chin up so it won't scrape on so much stuff. I would probably also try to make some kind of billet grille to cover the gaping hole it makes and to match the Shelby grille I hope to get eventually. So...
Would that look better? I think it would be more unique for sure.
Also my stock front bumper has chips and scratches and everything that would still be very visible if I got the aggressive front. That would be a problem almost justifying me getting the cs front
What do you guys think? I'll attach some pics of what the chin with splitter would look like...

IMHO Personally I like a cleaner look. The CS front and rear was on my list of possibilities as well prior to going with the 3D Carbon lip kit I went with. But the aggressive spoilers are not on my list of favorites.
