Yet another GT500 conversion...sort of

Well after spending months trying to decide what appearance I was going for this is what I have so far. I added the GT500 front bumper, Roush rear wing, Roush louvers, and of course new wheels and tires.

And big thanks to KC for putting together the parts order to complete my GT500 front bumper installation.

Looks great!

The photos give it a sinister look as well.

That looks really good with the scoop and clear turn signals.

Congrats and welcome to the club man. Gotta love the GT500 front end!!! The only thing I am not 100% on is the wheels. I don't think carrying a previous body styles wheels over look good on our cars, but heck it's your ride nad it looks good!!!! At least you didn't get cobra Rs.

Again, it looks great!!!!!

The clear turns looks GREAT with the black

I find I agree with 2L8Iwon
I think you can do better on the wheels

That and some tint and you are set!!

Thanks for all the compliments!!!

I am still undecided on the wheels myself...they looked great off the car but on it...'I dunno yet'. Unfortunately the wheels I really wanted were on back order...American Muscle said that it could be up to 5 months before getting them back in stock.


I really like the tint idea but in the crappy state of Illinois it is illegal ...and they do enforce it in my area. I have received several tickets for it on previous vehicles. I finally gave up on tint cause I got tired of getting pulled over for it.

The GT500 nose looks sick with the GT's low hoodline.

Looks good, but I agree with everyone about the wheels. Welcome to the club though. I like the hood you have with the GT500 nose.

Try Discount Tire online - that's where I got mine - you'll be happy, trust me.

I got the clear turn signals on ebay. Here is the auction---> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2940431&rd=1,1

I bought the bulbs from stangmods
https://www.stangmods.com/ProductDet...ode=00533-3157

The bulbs are kind of expensive for bulbs but well worth it.

Here is the black one we did on our crazy weekend of transformations. It has 20 x 8.5 & 10.5 with BFG KDW2 255-35-20 & 285-30-20. Looks really mean.
