I liked the previous Cobra emblems you had on there. These retro ones don't blend well with a blue stang. Maybe if it was black, white, or silver.
Now I'm all for personalizing our cars. But I feel that you will over saturate your car with Shelby emblems on something that's obviously a V6 mustang. Imitation is the best form of flattery, right? A bad imitation would be a mockery. Personally, I would have done the big projects first (bumpers, exhaust, etc) and left the emblems for last. I really do hope you're not finished with your clone. At least keep people guessing.
I'm pretty partial to the California Dream Kit myself...Ijustlove the fact that there is somuch aftermarket support for these cars...it really offers you the ability to personalize in a lot of different ways...cant wait to see your finished project. I personally want to go the whole blackout route except for the chrome bullitts with spinners...plus I want to do some custom badging to really make it look unique.
I believe you can use a regular grill. If you install the CS6 bumper, you have to shave the foam behind the bumper on the bottom to make the new front fit right.
i think that a gt350 clone is a good idea because if you think about the originals the gt500 was the overpowered beast and the gt350 was the less powered with a small motor. essentialy isn't that what a V8 and V6 are the V8 is the gt500 so the v6 could be the gt350
as long as no one claims it to be a shelby then i think its fine. iud say a gt350 or cs6 clones are a good idea for vintage reasons. people have been doing clones for years theres nothing wrong with it. it is your car after all.
I think your best bet would be to put on the CS6 front fascia, GT take off rear fascia, dual flowmasters, shelby CAI, CS6 hood, and the shelby emblems, and logos

I saw that in another thread. I think it was your baby too.
Imagine, FOAM in a bumper.
1927 and the bumper was spring steel that could rip a telephone pole in half...
