Default Front facia

This was a topic a few weeks ago. At that time this site only had a picture of a 2007 Shelby for reference purposes. They now have a photo of the front facia on a GT. However it is painted just like the Shelby (I guess so the site didn't look too different) Thought if anyone was confused a few weeks ago this might give a clearer picture.

This looks pretty scamish to me[sm=bs.gif]. Even if it isnt a scam, with just front facia and no light covers or grill things arent going to fit right and it will probably look like crap just IMHO.

Did you actually look at the site? Everything on the GT fits, it is a GT front facia. Agreed the picture is skewed. Save it and it comes out perfect. But it is no different than any other facia for a GT except it looks like the 2007 Shelby

Honestly the picture sucks. But from what I can tell, it is a lower fron fachia that looks like the 2007 Shelby upper fachia/grill. Honestly looks kinda stupid IMO. Now if it were a complete replacement that included the headlights and what not, I'd be all for it.

I did look at their site and nowhere on it could I find stuff for the 05-08. As for this front fitting like other kits it wont unless it comes with headlight cover and upper grill replacements. If you look at a stock 05-06 the painted pillar between the grill and headlights is much more vertical than the 07 cobra pillar. With just stock light covers it doesn’t look like it will fit right. I’m not saying it wont bolt on the same as the stock, I’m saying without all the parts from the cobra it wont look right.

Just a somewhat different lower bumper look; no big deal; There's nothing here that's gonna make your car look "Shelby like".
