Here is a current photo of my car. I'm wanting people's opinion on what to do next for a shelby theme?

 

All cosmetic mods? Or performance as well? Probably wanna slap a blower if your thinking Shelby theme

 

Maybe gt500 rear spoiler and diffuser?

 

Definitely a start...just gonna have to back up the looks...

 

Ok well lets do power first. Start off by freein up the breathing. Get a solid intake (maybe airaid or steeda) and new headers/midpipes/axle-back exhaust. Thts what i would do.
Oh and get a set of lowering springs plus new shocks/struts.
That alone combined with a solid tune and you wont be too far away from a gt500(:

 

Saving up for a Paxton intercooled supercharger

 

Hmm, idk if it were me if get the KB blower(:
That whine is just so sickening!

 

Bow your talkin!

 

if its not a shelby don't make it one. Just My opinion

 

Even the Original GT350 didn't start as a shelby. It was a regular mustang and they added parts and a plaque to it. I'm using the same parts that Shelby Performance Parts uses.

 

will you be added carbon fiber or no?

 

Speakin of carbon fiber hows ur car comin along?

Sorry not tryin to hijack the thread or nothin pplz!

 

Be creative and do your own thing. This was my 06 GT.

 

Are those 18in Razors rims?!?

 

Yup, 18" Shelby Razor's

 

How did that cost you? Rims and tires?

 

I bought them back in June 2006 and paid $2500 CDN with Kumho ECSTA SPT Tires. I am sure they would be a lot cheaper in the US

 

Ummm WHAT?

A CAI and headers will not put you anywhere NEAR a GT500.... not even in the ballpark.

A CAI and tune will likely net around 30-40hp with headers maybe another 30 at most?

So that puts you at 360?

How is that close to 500?

For the OP IMO I wouldn't do a Shelby theme... unless that's what you really want to do.

Do what you think looks best, but for me I really like it when guys do their own thing on their car and make it unique.

The GT50 bodykit has been done a lot... not that it looks bad, but it will never be a Shelby, no matter what stripes, bumpers, wings, etc. etc. you put on it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of the Shelby faithful that would pay $100 for a $20 part because it had "Shelby" stamped on it, I just don't get why guys put snakes and Shelby crap on their cars when the car isn't a Shelby.

I think R3troGT did an awesome job with his car... and it's unique to HIM

Here's a shot of my car and it's the same color as yours and his:

 

Thanks, it was a great car and fun to build.

BUT

I traded it in for a 2009 Challenger R/T back in Dec 2008, which I then traded in for a 2010 GT500 in July 2010

 

I went the other route... I swapped a GT500 motor into my '06
