RE: Shelby Mods THREAD
I've done some research and I think i'm gonna keep the Shelby mods pretty simple and just go with some package deals.
-I am definitely looking for a new hood, KR or SS style. Car will be red with black side stripes (vert) with no hood stripes. Probably getting shelby lettering across hood as well. And a Convertible light bar.
-SC upgrade as well. Either cai/tune/pulley or the Ford Racing Supercharger with smaller pulley.
-gotta do a little handling pack as well, i dont know which one Steeda or Evo. Probably Steeda though, the BMR stuff is more for drag racing and has a little more noise associated with it.
-Gonna definitely upgrade the rubber out back as well, since itll b a weekend warrior, maybe a nice street radial.
That will do it unless I get really into modding down the road. After this i might see about razors and a 3.73 gear.

RE: Shelby Mods THREAD
Hi. Here are some more mods for you:
Venom Hood, Painted Stripes & moved the Shelby lettering in the back of the car. We also did the 2.65 pulley swap from VMP Tuning andswapped out the 07 dampener for the 08 - Took off about 15 lbs of weight.

RE: Shelby Mods THREAD
I'm interested in getting the following grille for my 08 Shelby.
The rep I spoke with from Shelby Performance Parts told me that I was going to have to fabricate my own brackets in order to make it attach to the housing since the grille and housing aren't made by the same company.
Has anybody added this grille to their Shelby with success? If so, how did you do the brackets???

Most of them have modded their Shelbys
