RE: C350 or CS8?
Go with the CS8 itlooks 10Xbetter.
TheCerviniskit looks to meforced anddoesn't flow at all with the lines ofour car. The CervinisElenor kit to me is trying too hard to look like something its not. The big fog lights are disproportiante to anything on the car the bumper and hood are huge and jagged.
The Shelby CS8 flows and looks nice. Its not a throw back design that doesn't work. Its fresh newand simple. The grill is different the fogs look great and the hood looks nice. The shelby design flows with the car and nothing looks forced.

The Cervini kit looks like Eleanor took a trip to Japan for a little rice. [:-]

I think the CS8 is ugly. I wouldn't put it on my car if I got the whole front end for free, I like the GT stock front way better!
Cervini's elanor is WAY better looking IMO... and way more tasteful.
If anything the CS8 front bumper looks much more like rice.

I agree cars made at the factory or by Shelby autos will get more resale than any Cervinis kit....I know I have one too! Hope it helps! J

go cs8 id like to do that too but the pice is too high for my blood right now..as for resale value the cervinis may not have such a high resale as the shelby cs8 will have.

Ok so I know I am going to catch a few flames for this one, but I'm prepared so here goes.......
As a disclaimer, I love my car and have no intention of getting rid of it any time soon. With that said, I know that as soon as you begin personalizing/customizing your car the potential trade-in/resale value begins to go down, more so than the depreciation the car is already suffering from. I would like to find a way around this if possible, with the worst case scenario being that after all the hard work I put into the car I come close to breaking even.
After doing a ****load of research, I would like to build either a Cervini's Eleanor C350 or a Shelby CS8 (see pics, and jbailer I used a pic of yours because I love the way it looks). I know that these are both high quality kits from well respected names. And I do realize both kits have their own unique sets of pros and cons. Assuming I do it tastefully and don't do anything ridiculous which do you think would have the highest resale value should I ever decide to part with my car?
