Default Shelby letters

Anyone know a place that sells the shelby trunk letters cheap? I am ordering my Terlingua decals and I am wanting to get shelby letters to replace the mustang letters on the sides of the mustang. I know places sell them for 50 a set of letters, but that is too much. I need 2 sets.

I'm getting the decals. The paint job is next year. Here is what it will look similar to in the future, I will have red instead of yellow.

It doesn't look like that Terlingua Mustang has any lettering on it. What do you need the Shelby letters for?

Virginia Classic Mustang sells a '68-'70 Shelby Letters Kit for both the hood and trunk.....$50

I thought I read somewhere that Carroll Shelby said you had to have a real Shelby to buy the decals anymore. I assume he still holds the trademark for these.

Heres a photo of a photo. I took this before I had a digital. On the "Terlingua" cars their were no "SHELBY" chrome letters used. The name "Terlingua Racing Team" appeared on the front fenders. The original car was painted in a kinda flat pail yellow with a flat black hood.

Puttin' Shelby letters on it don't really make it a Shelby! Case in point:



I know! I know! Shelby did put his name on it but I don't consider it a real Shelby!
