Default Which body kit?

Should I get the Shelby front Fascia kit + Rear Dual exhaust or the Saleen Full body kit (hood, center rear exhaust, etc.).

I really like the way the grill looks with the shelby kit, but I Love the hood on the Saleen kit, and I dont really care how the rear end looks as long as it flows

I don't like the saleen hood with anything but the rest of the saleen kit.

I think either one would be sick, it just depends on what you want to go for. Do you want head turning, stick out in a crowd, look at me I'm different styling or do you want classy, subtle but still agressive and tasteful styling? If you want option A go with saleen. For option B go with the shelby kit. IMO if you're gonna spend the money for the shelby/cs front bumper go ahead and get painted rockers and the shelby/cs rear bumper.

this is just my opinion and I personally love the way both the shelby and saleen look.

oh, and if you go with the saleen you're gonna get flamed like hell by loads of opinionated people for being a "poser". I'm personally going to go with a gt/cs front and rear bumper eventually. I hate telling people what to do though, it's ultimately your decision.

As long as he doesn't have Saleen badges, he'll be okay-ish. The Saleen kit on the V6 seems out of place tho.. was made for a supercharged V8. The CS6 was made FOR the V6, so it just seems natural to get that instead

I'm just talking about the shelby front fascia (+ dual exhaust), or Saleen body kit.

People around here have no idea whats under my hood haha. I have yet to meet one person that says "Thats a V6 right?!" I've had a friend that even thought it was a 4 cylinder (he doesn't know anything about cars). I was like lol no. I've had way more people think its V8 though.

Whichever kit I go with I'd definitely make the engine have enough power (either Turbo or Supercharge it + a few other mods)

I'm thinking the Shelby one might be cheaper. But not sure.
