plastic.......................$243.00 worth of plastic...............did I mention $243.00 each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, I just washed it for the first time since I got it back. Washed it by hand and very minimal water ended up on the main body of my C&L intake tube.

Question Fog Lights on your Shelby Conversion ...

Did you have to make your own connections or did KC provide you with the
correct wiring harness to plug directly into them?
I hate to do a splice and dice deal on them when I do my conversion.

I had the good fortune of seeing Robs Mustang up close and personal Thursday. Nice guy, wnet to the trouble of going home and bringing his Stang to work place so I could see it when I phoned him is was passing through.
I was in the parking lot when he pulled in, and I must say not having seen the Shelby in person before (okay Shelby front end and hood to be precise) it is bad to the bone. I have read a lot of negatives about the looks of the SHelby hood, I must say its incredibally cool. This front end is ultra agressive looking. my puny GT was weak in comparison. He has a 5spd auto with Lido from Alternative Autos tune. Took me for a ride, and I can attest its an awesome performer. Nice authoritive bark from the tires shifting into 2nd at WOT. Kinda cool riding around downtown OKC with a dective lighting them up.

Im not the craziest about the front spoiler, but all in all, its a very sweet ride.
Thanks for taking the time to let me see it Rob.

The GT 500 wiring harness won't plug directly into the GT. The plugs are different. My Ford tech used the plugs off of the new wiring harness and spliced them. He did a great job and it looked stock. I know you don't want to splice......I didn't either, but I think it is the only option at this time.

With the kind of money we are spending on out cars we need to get together and start a powerball lottery pool. I need more money for more upgrades. I am addicted to mustang parts. But as you can see by the picture to the left the Mustang Groupies approve of the work.

Your car looks simply STUNNING!! This has made me change my mind from wanting to do a GT-H conversion to a GT500 front end conversion.

Sup I'm new here. But not new to the Mustang scene

I'm looking at doing something similar to my black '06 4.0L . I must say, it looks incredible. Congrats, I'm glad to see some people can really turn visions into reality.

I appreciate everyone's continued interest in this thread. If anyone is thinking about this conversion I want to encourage them to do so. I never thought I would do it, but I did, and definately don't regret it.
