Sounds like you are wanting the 05-09 conversion to 13/14, correct?

Side by side comparison of 09 GT500 and 13 GT500 front bumper/grills

^^ how are you going to get around the simple fact that the fenders are different and such and that they don't match? like the 05-09 have sharp fender creases and no hips in back v.s. the 10+ having no crease, and hips and an upper crease along the side to the back.

Im making my own custom conversion fenders in carbon fiber. Been working on this whole project for 3 years (researching and gathering ford oem new parts). Ive had all the ford parts to make it happen just recently and other than the fenders its a bolt on solution with the exception of the radiator core support needs to be spot welded in. Once my fenders are in production it will be really easy for someone to do the conversion

You can't put a 2010+ Shelby front end on a 05-09. They're completely different.

The fenders won't line up - the body lines are way different.
