Bad News For Shelby & Gt/cs Conversions!!!
Well I knew it would Happen Sooner or Later! Ford Pulled a Fast One with Some Unpublished Price Changes.
The prices were Raised Dramatically on All Mustang Bumper Covers. Front GT/CS, Front Shelby, Rear GT/CS and Rear Shelby. I have Sent an Email to Ford Complaining but I Doubt it will do any good. I had warned when I stated Selling these that they were Cheap and a Bargain at the Old Prices. The Sneaky Thing is How they did it. They Raised the Prices after the Monthly Price Tapes were Sent to the Dealers For February
. I always check my Mustang parts at the 1st of the month for that reason. I just happened to catch it while Drop Shipping a Rear Cover For the Source horse. The cost pops up when the order is closed! So All Hot sheet Pricing is now incorrect for the Conversions. I will do my Best to come up with the Best options for those wanting to do the conversions. Please check back here for further Updates! While the conversion price will now increase it may increase even further down the road so be advised!
BTW, If you are in the Process of Getting these Parts Locally and Have not paid for them you may get a Surprize when the order is totalled. My Inhouse system still shows the old cheaper Price,It has to be Manually Updated or it will not be updated until the March tape, your Dealer May or may not have changed pricing yet! All dealers are not on the Same Inhouse Computer Provider. FYI! Regardless any Covers Ordered as of Date will cost the Dealer More.

A little Light at the End of the tunnel. Ford is Considering The Cover Prices for Price Adjustment. Hopefully for the Better! Stand By!

Kevin:
Got the Hotsheets. Thanks again.
I understand you currently do not have correct prices. I'd love an update when you get new prices.
I am confused as to whether these pieces (GT/CS front and rear fascia/valence/bumper) come painted or unpainted.
The hotsheets state "paint to match." I assume this means they are not painted?
The portion relating to the rear fascia also states that the "Center diffuser Painted. Cover paint to match."
Can Kevin or anyone else shed any light on this for me, I am somewhat confused as to what comes painted or not.
My goal is a GT/CS style front and rear, painted as on the GT/CS.
Also, approx cost to paint, and any recommendations for reputable shop in Jax/ NE Fla area?????/
Anyone have experience with HP Performance in Orange Park?
thanks

The GT/CS covers come unpainted, except the lower part on the rear cover is already painted black (since all GT/CS's have this section black regardless of exterior color).
I have a quote to paint a front GT/CS cover for $150. That said, I think it might be low. Also, that is just to paint it. It does not include removal of the old cover and installation of the new cover. I was going to do that myself.
Hopefully, KC is successful and can get a better price on the bumper covers. Right now they are too much for me

I am Still Waiting For an Answer on the Gt/Cs Front and Rear Covers. I had Been Selling the Rear GT/CS Cover Btw for the Shelby Rear as it WAS quite a bit Cheaper. I do Not Believe the Shelby FRONT Cover will go back Down in Price. The Shelby Front Fascia Kits for both GT and V6 Went up Approx $300.00 FYI. So Currently my Hotsheets Have Shelby Front Pricing and No Rear or GT/CS Pricing. Who Knows what Component will go up Next! Current Pricing May be a Bargain down the Road! FYI! Stay Tuned For Updates on REAR FASCIAS!
