Alloy Dave Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-07-V6-Mu...1QQcmdZViewItem Wow, you could fit a salami sandwich in that rear side louver. And, with only a 93% rating and only 25 transactions...I wouldn't touch this with Rob's 10-foot pole. batbrain.wav batbrain.wav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnut Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I wonder how the sequentials work No, it just is not very attractive at all. (It is still the new year and I am being nice as promised) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingCobra666 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-07-V6-Mu...1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks for the link. I love the taillights but do you have to replace the whole rear clip to do this? Im not replacing my clip, especially not with THAT clip, lol. There no way I'm cutting on my car to do it either. The panel gaps are egregious, but my car will be black so they wont show much. Good idea, not sure about the execution. I really do like that look, too bad Ford didnt go that route. If I could do the tailights without butching my car I might be interested in this. If they make the trunk a lightweight, that would also be a plus, though the GT500 needs more ballast off the front than the rear. Weight savings is good though front or back. Shelby himself ought to offer THIS conversion, a trick aluminum or plastic trunk with old school taillights and Spoiler done right, dealer installed and fix the lettering on the trunk while they are at it. An extra 3-5k maybe? I wouldn't even hesitate. The folks over at Shelby should be making a killing on these cars selling us stuff. They need to capitalize on the great heritage of these cars. Im not crazy about the 4oth anniversary package, its all show, little in the way of go and not the kinda show I like. KC666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC666 It might be possible to take the stock housings and lenses and combine the middle sections to come up with a wider light and keep the right shape. Would still have to cut out the rear panel.

Would still have to cut out the rear panel. Heres a second attempt using your suggestions. This would be easier to manufacture or make a one off, it follows the original break lines on the trunk using the stock lights. Part of the light would be on the lid.

chuckstang Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Someone mentioned earlier that it is illegal to delete the 3rd brake light, but that made me think how does Classic Design Concepts get away with selling their 3 peice duck tail spoiler which everyone seems to have???? Does that kit come with a 3rd brake light that goes inside the back glass window like many cars have standard anyway? just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
