Default Cloning Begins!

For those of you that thought a Shelby GT500 front conversion is as simple as swapping out the front bumper,you are sorely mistaken! [8D] I ordered the entire front end kit from my local dealer (nice discount)... picked up today and I was amazed with how many components go into the front end alone. This doesn't even include the hood or rear fascia!! I will update everyone with my progress. First step... paint !

It's not as complex as you think Larmo. It goes very easily. Took me about 45 minutes all by myself and I had no idea what I was doing either.

That GT 500 front facia kit is an awesome upgrade for any s-197. I went with the CS front kit and some folks don't even notice the change. I'm happy anyways.
