Project Hellboy II: completed photos

Finally managed to get some decent shots of my car (affectionately dubbed "Hellboy" for years due to the red/black theme) after the recent changes/additions











Parts list:

Ford: GT500 front fascia and related parts, side scoops, GT500 rear spoiler
Shelby: Super Snake hood and louvers, functional front brake cooling ducts
Saleen: Heritage/PJ/Gurney rear fascia, trunk filler panel, rocker panels, Gurney edition muffler/tips

That is a great combo of parts, different from stock with out going over the top/gaudy.

Thanks. My overall goal was create something that was visually distinctive, but clean to the point that it looked like it COULD have been "factory"

Looks killer.
Prefer the gt500 spoiler.
The roush was just too busy for the look you have going on in the back and took away from that rare gurney fascia.
I think the rear tail light covers do the same thing though. There are more subtle covers that would look more "stock like" while still accenting.

I agree regarding the spoiler (obviously). It was good with the regular GT bumper, but there would have been too many things going on visually with the new one.

I've tried other covers at various times, but haven't found any I like as much as these. The others only give about a 3/16" spacing between the lens sections, and I don't feel it's enough for a visual separation into 3 distinct lenses from more than a few feet away.

Thanks guys, now a question: Add hood pins, or leave it as-is?

Your car looks fantastic, very clean. A very similar look to what I went for on my car, but with completely different execution. I think the hood pins would detract from the clean look that your car currently has.

Edit: I'll tell you what though, I'm pretty anti-hood pin, but they'd look better on your car than most.

I had been planning on adding some all along, but seing the hood "clean" has me reconsidering.

Thanks, I actually have two sets to choose from (Shelby and Quik-Latch). It's deciding if I really want to drill that clean looking hood that has me on the fence

No hood pins unless you need them. That hood doesn't shake at high speeds does it? My stock hood jumps like crazy around 110+ mph.

EDIT: What headrests are those? I really like them.

No, shaking at all (less than the factory hoods I've had on there)

The headrests are Saleen pieces.
