This poser argument will go on forever.....but Shelby sells most of the parts, incuding emblems, right off their own site.

I am ok with clones. They will be around forever, specially with our "plug and play" stangs....

GT-500 parts you can get off any fordoem on-line site, or if you need it quick and don't mind paying more there is a guy on e-bay selling the whole kit for 3,200 that includes hood as well.

CLONE is the Wrong terminology, it implies exact copy. Unless you are going to replace every unique part of a GT500 that a GT doesn’t have, You should say Poor attempt to copy a GT500. Or FAKE would be a better term.

everyones such a puss when it comes to cars, put the body kit on, and make it how you want. Just dont put shelby badges on it.

I'm sick of hearing about "ohhh your a poser for doing a GT500 kit"
Me personally I have no interest in clone cars, the only thing I would do is put a GT front bumper on to use the CDC classic chin spoiler.

Do what makes you (or the customer) happy.

Yeah, man! Modding your car the way you want it is just trite posturing. Kind of like when people use the word "poser" but, you know, without the petty jealousy.
