I call fraud! Who the F*#k would change a GT500 to look like a gt? The sound alone prevents sleeper status!

Looks like he was going for the Boss 429 look ... I like it and it is a nice sleeper for sure.

Only other explanation was maybe the front end got wrecked ... and he bought some used GT parts to replace it.

Might have been a guy going for sleeper. I used to frequent the local races back when the Terminators first came out, and a Vietnamese guy bought one brand new off the lot and swapped a V6 front bumper, badges and spoiler onto it. Even went so far as to have a set of V6 wheels widened on the rear. The M/T ET Streets were the only giveaway left on that sleeper.

Dmhines your grill looks wicked, I ordered one to replace my CS as everytime I see yours I pause and check it out.

I am getting a custom dome decal made for where the saleen sticker goes that says "5.0 Ti-VCT" black background with chrome letters.

I had to fill that slot.

i dont believe thats the correct windown sticker, its way to close up, he must have went to the dealer and took that picture, you cant see a table or anything. i call fraud as well, why bother swapping out the front end if you are going to leave on V6/GT500 rockers, and leave rear end the same?
