Default Which body kit?

Well I hate to say this but my Grandpa passed away...

He gave me so many great oppurtunities (including owning a Mustang)... And with Christmas coming around the corner my mom said she'll get me a "last" Christmas present from him... She asked me which body kit I wanted (I've mentioned getting one before but never seriously).

Which body kit should I get above and why?

Also which is cheapest (for everything needed INCLUDING HOOD)

Also how much weight will they add to my car?? Will it substantially reduce my MPG?? (how much will my mpg be reduced?)

And lastly... WHERE SHOULD I BUY THE KIT?!?!


So Which one?!?

1. Id say get the shelby front
2. it will probably be cheaper
3. depends on which one you get but it will be minimal
4. if you go with the shelby

im a bit confused about the question is it the GT500 or the shelby, but they are both on the page

I would say go with the GT500 then the shelby and then the saleen but that might just be me

I would worry about weight but get urethane fiberglass is pain in the *** to paint and you will always see ripples in it.

saleen is such a nice and aggressive looking style. i like that style a lot. However if you get the full saleen body kit you will HAVE to get new exhaust. because of the design the saleen body has dual center rear exhaust

I would get that, however, I need the whole entire body kit. (new headlight style, grills, everything)
