Yeah It's just a body kit, just like a Street Scene, Saleen, Roush, Eleanor, etc.

At least if someone is going to clone I hope they make sure they do it on a GT. They have someone where I live take a V6 and tried to make it a cobra with GT350 lettering. He has everything on the car with the exception of the engine. IMO be original.

I think it's cool if someone just likes the look (I think the GT looks WAY better), but the badges are a definite no-no.

I like the kit and haven't put the possibly of using it out of my head, but if I did, I wouldn't use the Cobra or Shelby emblems. Same with the Saleen kit I considered using, but if I did you wouldn't see the word "Saleen" anywhere on it, I'd even fill the it in on the back bumper.

I don't think its horrible, but they shouldn't sell snake emblems with it. Or, their should be an option for a pony with tribars for the emblems, etc.

I wonder how much the rear spoiler is at the dealership....

I agree, I like the rear end of the Shelby, as well as the spoiler. The front end looks terrible IMO.

But, it is cool they've made those parts available to mustang owners. I don't see any problem with putting a Shelby body kit on the car as long as you don't use the emblems.

I agree. I plan on putting enough mods on my GT to be as powerful as a cobra, but i would never use the badges. I do like the spoiler though, looks classy.

I dont know i have mixed feelings about this. I think its alright for a older style mustang to do it as long as they mix match parts. Like put maybe a saleen front end with a a GT back end and what not and slap some snakes on the side. Dont ask me why. But as far as making your car look like a totally different car, then no i am not down. But i think its cool if people can actually tell that your car isnt a clone but your trying to make it look mean. i dont know if that makes sense. But its hard to explain.
