I think it would be a great idea, just don't be putting any saleen badges on it.

I would like to have the hood when they start selling the aluminum version again. And I really want the side skirts. But no interest in the rest of the kit.

RE: saleen body kit
I think the question was somewhat posed.... The two round lights next to the grill are blinkers and parking lights only. they are not fog lights or anything "intensely bright" (there are no fogs on the Saleen). The front fascia is somewhat retro and somewhat modern. the air inlets on the bottom mirror the S7's front fascia, but the upper part remind me of an old stang with plain black grill.

So the Saleen has two sets of blinkers and parking lights; because I see the lower bumper corner ones as well.

Yes and no. Saleen basically shortened the factory side marker/turn signal. It really cannot be seen from the front of the car. Since they did that, they had to put the new turn lamps in the fascia to make it DOT legal.

RE: saleen body kit
I got the full body kit on my GT. the badge is stick on. Mine kit actually didnt come with it so its not there. its just a solid peice of plastic where there would normally be a hole like the rest of the grill. You really cant notice it. the factory turn signals are shortened and the part that flashes is covered so they dont really work as signals anymore. the "weird" lights are actually mini cooper lights. the shop that put my kit on does work on these Red Bull sponsored mini coopers and they are the exact same lights. They are half running lights and half turn signals. It think they are pretty cool to be honest. I also have gone with the sinister stang look. black Gt, black rims, tinted, and soon to be black brake calipers.

RE: saleen body kit
Right, no badge but the solid piece of material in the grill has to go. I have't seen it close up but I would think it could be carefully removed(carved away, dremmel, etc). Interesting info on the lights. Why would they cover the OE flasher section and force the integrated design of the mini lights? ...sounds kinda weird, like they were a bit of an after thought for DOT approval (directionals in that location, hmmmm, I don't know).
