Here are the sizes they offer.

 

I would go with the 20s.

I have 18s on mine, and I already want at least one size larger. They just don't fill the wheel well enough.

 

Definitely wait for the 18x9.5's.

 

I already removed the rear spoiler, rear faux gas cap and emblems from my GT. The Shelby GT500 front fascia, hood, rear bumper and spoiler should be ready to go on next week. So am preparing for the installs. I just can't wait to see it come together.

Tools:

1. Wifes blow dryer.
2. Plastic scrapper
3. Goo Gone - to disolve glue
4. Lots of time !!!!!

It was a little pain in the neck to do - but not that big a deal.
I plugged up the holes with some rubber plugs - since you never know when it will rain in SFLA !!

 

Thanks for the detailed info. I'm right behind you. Keep up the great work!

 

looks awesome dude can not wait to get started on mine but i would stick with the GT500 rear emblem for the sake that it closes the keyhole alot better then the aftermarket on i can see some paint unlike the factory ones

 

Is the trunk emblem the same size as the stock GT emblem? Do you still have the old trunk emblem? Can you measure the black parts on both and see if they are the same diameter?

I want to get the Cobra trunk emblem, but I want to get an overlay made for it that says "GT" (like the stock GT emblem). I really like the brushed look!

 

you can not put an overlay on the GT500 or Cobra rear emblem because they have a raised cobra or atleast i know the GT500 does, saw it up close

 

one question did the cobra cover the holes on the fender

 

The Cobra Faux Fuel Door hole is the same size as the GT one. It looked bigger because I had not installed it yet (It was about 1/2 away from the
body).

The Cobra emblems come with the same alignment pins - so yes it covers the
holes.

I installed the Cobra Faux Fuel Door and the Shelby GT500 rear spoiler today -
Looks great !!!!!


Also picked up the front fascia and rear bumper and hood as well. Which I will install this weekend. Weather permiting.

Also the hood was scratched by the installer when trying to pop out the
hood vent.

They are going to take care of it when I come back next week.

On a bad note the Hood color did not match the fenders
So looks like am going to have to have them blend in the fenders as well.
Sorry kids - no PS3 this year !!! LOL
Only kidding the kids were'nt getting one anyways.

I'll post some pictures this weekend when am all done !!!

 

Wait a little bit, Shelby is coming out with a 3 piece 40th anniversary wheel made just for the 2005+ Mustangs in 19" and 20". This wheel looks awesome. I have not found any pics of it on the internet but there is a picture of it in the Jan 07 Hot Rod magazine.

 

So do you think I would be able to get it and just get an overlay for the black part? (or is the cobra not flat or what)

 

Thought you guys & gals would enjoy this. Front Fascia & Rear Bumper
going on this weekend.

 

Is that the 3D Carbon or the OEM GT500 wing? Looks good.

 

I've heard some people having issues with the 3D Carbon one - only has two bolts versus four on the OEM. Costs more but its worth it.

 

Looks awesome. I can't wait to see more pics. I am wanting to put the Shelby front on my Windveil Blue Mustang with a Steeda hood. Not really planning on the full GT500 conversion but it will be nice to see how yours turns out since it is the same color.

 

Here's a WB with the front end GT500 conversion.

 

Let us know when the CS67's can be ordered in 18x9.5. Looking to get a set of these myself.

 

What is your projected total cost to do the conversion. My wife really liked my conversion work on the SALEEN that I did and she wants me to make her a Shelby GT500 clone.

 

Hopefully I'll be done by Sunday. Anyone know how long the removal / install would be for: Front Fascia, Rear Bumper cover ?
