Stock GT500 looks like this;

Is that what you have? If so, I would order the one for the GT500 just to make sure you have enough room. Now if you have the Race Boy high wing, then you will have to call them and let them know what you have.

this is what my wing is, the front end has been converted to a gt500 front end since this picture has been taken. I also now have the venom hood.



would the gt500 mirrors and antenna be in the same spot?

OK, that's a stock GT spoiler....so you would need the one for a GT coupe.
Yes, the GT500 mirrors and antenna are in the same spot.

From what I see in your picture (a picture of the rear would be clearer) it looks like a stock GT spoiler. The reason you don't see too many on this forum is most of the enthusiast have switched to the GT500 spoiler (like in the link I provide above) or some other cool spoiler. Some have even deleted the spoiler entirely for a clean look.

The spoiler I have on my Pony Package is the same one you would find on a GT500 KR.

You would want to contact them to verify regarding fitment on the front bumper. Prob need the GT500 cover as these covers do fit very closely so want exactly right one.

I have a normal GT but with Roush rear wing, CA Special front bumper and 4 inch Cervinis hood. Ended up getting the Shelby GT cover and it fits like a glove, got the Dusttop series for over winter indoor storage. Spent about $225 but it's well worth it IMO.

I called them and they dont seem to want to tell me what will fit. I can custom make one but that gets expensive. Do you guys think a 500kr cover would fit nicely on my car. Here is a current pic.

For the sake of sitting inside and protected from the elements, you don't need anything besides dust protection. And no sense spending money on a fitted cover, either. Any generic, lightweight cover like the ones at WalMart would more than suffice. When I stored both my Stangs previous winters, I used an expensive cover for the GT and a cheapy for the Pony. I actually regreted that I didn't buy 2 of the WalMart cheap covers.

My car sits outside when im driving it in the summer. Is it possible to cover the car every day or is that not really an option?

Sure, you can cover it every day but it'll get to be a PITA. Plus, in the mornings the cover will be wet so if you're thinking of rolling it up and tossing it in the trunk it won't take long to look and smell bad. And unsecured (unlocked) covers have a way of... disappearing.
