CS6 Package

[lesiak24]

Hi everyone, ( New to forum )

 

I was seriously thinking about purchasing an 05' or 06' Mustang V6. I've owned two Mustangs previously - both were 5.0 liter, with around 200 HP each, so for the money and similar power, why not . I really like the new retro body style. While searching for aftermarket upgrades for the V6 mustang, I stumbled upon the Shelby website. My question is, approximately, what would be the cost be for paint and labor to install the entire CS6 package?

shelbyautos.com provides a package price, minus paint and labor. I was curious as to how much it approximately costs to have the car painted and upgrades installed.

Depends what package you are looking at. I have a GT and only purchased the exterior parts also known as the apperance package.

 

Pricing from Shelby I estimate for what I did:

 

Parts:

 

Hood: $750

Front Fascia: $500

Side Scoops: $185

Shelby Upper Grill: $160

Driving lights: $195

Rear Fascia (I didn't need, it's a GT rear): $350

Hood Pins: $65.

Shelby Razor Wheels (est. for 4 depending on where they are bought) $1100

 

Total in parts for appearance only: $3305

 

Paintwork and installation of body parts:

 

Depends on shop doing the work as you can shop around but I would plan on around $1700 on average. Personally I would not shop exclusively on price here, go for quality first from a reputable shop and pay a little more if need be. Make sure it is going to get done right.

 

Average total for an appearence package on a V6: $5005 give or take a few hundred.

 

I have no clue what it would cost for the rest of the items (Supercharger, Exhuast, brakes, etc. etc.)

 

Also what else is not included in the estimation are tires for the wheels and the stripe kit. I have not seen the CS6 Stripe kit on sale yet as a seperate item.

 

Hope this helps.

I paid $1250.00 for prep/paint and installed it myself. $1700.00 is reasonable for prep/paint and install.

Probably the best answer to that would be from Paleoc. He is in the process of having his car assembled and painted so he can probably give you a reasonably accurate answer.

This is not a straight forward answer as there are a lot of variables. First off it depends on how much you having done. I.e., a full stage-3 car involves a lot more work than a stage-1. For example, installing the supercharger is a 24+ step process so you are probably looking at 20+ hrs labor right there. On top of that labor costs are not uniform across the country, my car is being built in Nebraska where the labor costs are less than a 1/3 of having the work done locally. Lastly, I have had a lot of non-Shelby parts (particularly suspension and drivetrain parts) added above and beyond the CS6 kit. That said, so far I have sent them $5k but I suspect the final cost may entail an additional $2k-$3k or so beyond that. I honestly don't know the final cost.

Here is a breakdown of everything being installed so you can see I have a long list well beyond the Shelby items (which maybe only account for 1/3 of the items):
