shelby clone

brianl815 · 12-23-2006, 03:54 AM

Hi all , I need some opinions please. I just bought an 07 v6 premium and I was going to make a shelby clone out of it. Instead of the gt 500 side rocker stripes, I am using gt 350 stripes, my car already came with the white racing stripes down the top of the car, from the factory. Then i would put on the eleanore style fogs and grill , shelby spoiler and allo the shelby badges. Just didn't know if this is stupid for a v6.

If you want it...its not stupid. Don't let some meathead talk you out of something that you really want. First and foremost...its your car! If you want to do it...do it! Just make sure that you will be happy with it, because when it comes to your car, you are the one driving it every day (or almost every day) If you want a shelby clone, more power to ya, i think it would look sweet. A couple of guys on here have the CS6 thing going already, and man they look friggen sick.

So if someone comes up to you and says....why are you doing that to a V6? You just say because you wanted to.

Hope this helps!

Your car, your money, your rules. Remember the quote "Unless you're paying for my car STFU!"

what color do you have. I want to do that same thing with mine. gt500 rear is good though, and a chin, because it follows the black rocker panels.

center light thing is at v6mustangstuff.com
gt500 spoiler is on ebay for like 220 unpainted
you'll need some rims also
shelby badges, email clevparts@aol.com he sells all oem parts (ford parts dept.)

if you start making your vista blue in the GT500 style post some pics! I have the same deal and am thinking about doing the same thing

While it is your car, my personal opinion. Just as long as you don't badge your car as what it isn't most people won't care. But your still makn the payments so you make up YOUR mind.

I think it's a stupid idea for a V6 and a GT as well. Why pretend to have something that you don't? I'd be embarrased to have a "clone" and then have to explain that it's just a "copy". Want a Cobra? Buy the real thing. You asked for opinions...
