I got tired of waiting for Shelby - Updated
Hi all, I purchased numerous items for my car over the winter and unfortunately my job has kept me away from home so I didn't get a chance to work on anything. Anyway, one of the items I purchased was a CS front fascia. I also purchased upper and lower Shelby black billet grilles with a desire to also get the brake duct/driving light combo from Shelby also. Seeing as they have been dragging their feet on coming out with it, I decided to make my own. I used some 1/4 in aluminum plate that I machined for the mounting plates and speaker tubes for the brake duct inlets. I used the driving lights from the pony package and made the mounts for the lights using some 4-1/2 in PVC. I think it turned out good. I will be painting the fascia tomorrow as well as a CS rear fascia and CS side scoops. I still have a lot to do, as I also have a CDC shaker to add as well as some matte black stripes to paint. For those interested, here is a link to some photos of the brake duct/driving light combo that I made. I plan on painting the aluminum gloss black to match the grille.

Let me lnow what you think.

I painted everything on Monday and put the front fascia together (lights, grilles, etc.) It turned out really nice. I can't wait to install everything, but, do to work, I will have to wait a few weeks. I have some updated pics with everything painted. Here's a link:

My brother actually thought I should have just cleared the aluminum pieces, but I like them black better. I think if I had gone with the standard billet grille, versus the black one, it might have been a good choice.

RE: I got tired of waiting for Shelby
Thanks for the input, I will definately post pics when all is done. I should get everything painted today, but then I am off to work again. I should be home early July to put everything together.
