ilmor Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I saw this question on another Mustang forum and thought it would be interesting to see the results it gets here. I plan to leave my Shelby GT all-original. Who else plans to do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to leave my Shelby GT all-original. Who else plans to do the same? Define "all original". Does an "ULTRA HOT" or "NO FEAR" sticker on the back window count? What about stick-on bullet holes and (Michaels favorite) curb feelers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmyer Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I'm thinking of putting gun-metal razors on mine. Waiting to see if someone post a picture of them on a white SGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 hmmmm, I am not sure where my Shelby GT falls on this issue. Will it be original? My car is leaving SAI with upgrades. I don't plan much more. Maybe Headers, maybe 3.73, definately tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInDetroit Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Pretty much, though I have a few changes here are my top 10! 10. Repaint white on silver rather than silver on white. I like silver, it's right up there with gold, and gold was the color of the Hertz car I wanted while giving the car an alternate universe effect. Star Trek anyone? 9. Replace "Powered By Ford" fender emblems with a cool "Owned By Matt" emblem in bright red just in case someone else has a silver on white copy cat car. 8. Add a rear deck spoiler from the 1980 Cobra Mustang. This "retro" look is actually pretty easy to achieve and only requires you to saw a few pieces off but still maintains the integrity of the overall look. 7. Remove the DVD Nav and replace with an equally cool AM/FM 8-track radio with cassette adaptor mated to an iPod adaptor for a total solution that spans all generations. Only issue so far in the test car is that when set it extends 17 inches from the dash which may mean some pieces need to be sawed off that too. 6. Remove the "silver bling" wheels and use reproduction 1964 1/2 mustang hub caps. VERY COOL, sure to get looks! 5. Using the same technique I use to remove pistol serial numbers make my SGT: 6001! 4. Add Ford pony grill for that "sleeper" look. 3. Add non-glare carpet to dashboard...though not sure what color shag carpet comes in these days. 2. Ford blue neon around the undercarriage that pulses with the beat of the 8-track. and... 1. A large "It's 1AM do you know where my wife is?" bumper sticker. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT1171 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Probably keep original, although might add driving lights & lower grill. These add on's are pretty functional and the driving light switch is already in place. Not sure how these add on's fit the definition of original though.

shelbydream1 Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 MATT where are the CURB FEELERS!!!!! NO car is complete without curb feelers. michael I'm adding SAI options-lower billet grille with lights and the Shelby sequential tail-lights, so I guess that would be considered original. May pull a piece of the dash and send in for an autograph, but that's probably the only change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May pull a piece of the dash and send in for an autograph, but that's probably the only change. I have an 07 GT and I have polished stainless steel tailight bezels and they really improve the back of the car, I already have a new set waiting for my SGT. Sequential tailights are a must. The lower grill and lights are definately a must have. Other than that I think the car looks great with the Shelby package, except rear spoiler, maybe?

riharely Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Original?????????? aaahhahahahahahaha NOPE! I do plan to save all the original; parts for a restoration 25 years from now.

mark1 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Tim, How did you stripe your GT500 spoiler? Would you mind posting a few pictures or point me to ones already posted. I am also interested in seeing the lower grill and lights. Thanks, mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BergShelby_merged Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Close to original. I don't plan to add any changes I can't undo later. The mods that I do add will most likely be from SAI....I'm sure we are just seeing the start of the mods they will roll out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curb Feelers, its a must have on all new cars. i think if you dont have them then your warranty is voided. im not that it is true but thats what i have heard michael #1 curb feeler salesman Here is my best selling sets. remember you only need one side, you dont need them for both sides unless you are doing it just for the sexiness that it will add to your SGT. i have many different types in stock and they all look great on your SGT. i do hope yall know that im joking, but the pics are real curb feelers and i can give yall the website if yall need it. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
