Kevin, that looks awesome! I can't believe there isn't more interest in this! I would love to get a '10 because I think the interior is superior but I really like the styling of my car instead of the newer S197.
On a side note do the door panels just slip right in or is there more mods needed to make them work?

Very nice Kevin, 
I know I wouldn't have wanted to pay those shipping charges 
Door panels? Not following you. This is a 2010 GT that got a 2010 GT500 nose conversion. Not a 2010 with the 07-09 GT500 nose.
Pretty sure you would have to do some huge body work to get an 07-09 GT500 nose on the 2010 body

Door panels as in the interior door panels, not door skins.

Don't fear my friend I know exactly what I am looking at. I was talking about door panels as in the interior door panels, not door skins.

You can't ever be sure but the factory GT wheels, factory GT exhaust and shot of the engine compartment were all tips.
The engine compartment was the dead give away with the sound rube & alternator placement.

Im going to upgrade the exhaust, and get SVT rims later so it looks pretty legit. (i also plan on getting a supercharger so i can back up the look of a shelby.) If only i could get ahold of kevin to order my conversion kit.
does he usually take awile to get back to emails or am i better off just calling him?

While I won't answer an exact sale price, I do know that the retail price on these wheels are over $1,000 a piece. Its because they are forged. The Shelby guys on TeamShelby have had them replaced due to carrier damage and they saw the price of them. They are REALLY expensive wheels, that do scrape easily. The 18" GT500 vert wheels are much cheaper as they are not forged.

What did this cost for the kit? Since I have the rear-camera I would not need the rear spoiler or even any of the badges / lettering saying Shelby. Please PM a cost

x2, I would also like to know the cost of just the front end conversion.
