Well everyone's certainly entitled to their own opinion but I think it's funny when people go on web forums and talk like that. Do you realize that the reason why Cervini's moved the lights to the lower grill is because that's the way it was on the original Shelby. I guess Shelby screwed that up when he did it back then too? -Joe

Ugh, it's upsetting. They have yet to make an aggressive/muscular hood yet... This thing... looks horrible in my opinion... I was going to go with Steeda's Cowl Induction hood, but I'm going to hold off on that and see what they make for the Shelby's... I'm in love with the new larger grilles on the Shelby's... all I want is the upper half portion... and I want the fog lamps in the grille still... none of that horrible looking down in the lower facia...

I was referring to the 2007 Shelby... with the fog lamps in the bumper. I'm not a fan of that. -- I wasn't trying to be all "that's horrible, gay, get rid of it, etc." Everyone is entitled to their own opinion like you said.

I'd be happy if they smoothed out those lower fog lamps, and put some of our lamps in the grille ... for the Shelby... maybe I'll get lucky and some aftermarket company will do this. lol. I'm in no means qualified to do that type of fabrication, so it may just be wishful thinking.

jbailer you got me all wrong. i know that hood pins are totally functional (unless your a ricer LOL). i drove cross country on I-40 and i remember goin through ark-tex-new mex-ariz passing semi's at 110 and seeing my stock hood shake like a piece of jello. all i was saying was i didnt like THOSE hood pins. to each his own right? other than that, that kit was the SH!*. btw, shelby didnt get anything at all wrong as i think well both agree LOL

I'm with ya on that, I don't like the look of hood pins in general. I just spent $250 on those push down and twist kind. I remember back in the old days they were on some of the Boss Mustangs. I couldn't believe they cost SO much but I really wanted them. -Joe
