2008 Shelby front bumper color blue or black
We have a 2008 Mustang Shelby (Las Vegas). It is Vista Blue with silver stripes. A popular color for that year. We took it into a repair shop and the expert said that the front bumper should be black not blue. Ours is blue so he said it must have been repainted. Did the 2008 Shelby (from Las Vegas) originally have a black or blue front bumper?

The front bumper cover should be body color with the exception of the portion immediately below the lower grille. That should be unpainted textured black plastic. If your bumper is painted in any other manner, it was done after the factory.

^what he said. I hope it was just a poor description of the proposed paint job on your part, because if he's saying the whole bumper is to be black then im at a loss for words.
