Craigo Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I like the front view but for me it's a bit to bulky looking on the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfarmdog Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Looks like a funny car from the front but too bulky and cheap looking from the side. Spend the money on a Griggs Racing setup and consider it well spent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texaggie Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'm going with a NO. The kit does not fit the car. Rear and front fenders do not line up with the doors or the hood. the kit looks "clunky" and does not match any "traditional" mustang body lines.Their white and blue kit does not even match paint between the body lik and the original doors or the hood. Which would probably mean a total re-paint of the car to get a good match. The two positives I see are you would most likely be the "only" GT500 with this kit. So that would make you unique. The other point is that the fender wells are so pushed out that you should never have to worry about rock chips from the tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrzyHorse Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Keep the opinions coming...just as a point of referance I have seen the car pictured here and it look AMAZING... http://image.musclemustangfastfords.com/f/31844763/mmfp_1002_steve_03+2008_ford_mustang_GT_wide_body+.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EL SHELBY Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I'm sure if the kit was installed by a very good body man that it would look pretty good, if you like that kind of thing. My guess is it would degrade the value of the car. Small enhancements (hoods, spoilers, lick-n-stick faux brake scoops) are easily reversed and should not affect the value. Wait a minute, you're trying to be a funny guy!? I get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of GT Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 From my perspective? It's a stinker. Makes the car look cheap and sleezy, not to mention that it's takes away from what a true GT500 looks like. But everyone has different tastes and styles, so if it works for you then that's all that matters. On the other hand, if your were 100% sure about it, I suppose that you wouldn't have started this forum in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 For me it's no. Makes the Shelby look to wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03 DSG Snake Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I've seen their Widebody GT a few times, looks pretty good in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light66 Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Don't do it! I agree with others, looks like a ricer. But from your enthusiasm you must like that look. So go ahead, it’s your free will choice. Be prepared to keep the car a long while, because I doubt there are many others who would share your same passion.

MikeCMM Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I have to go with everyone else on this and say no. It takes too much away from the style of the car. JMHO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubstang Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'd say no too. Looks like a cheap all plastic body kit. The 2nd picture you posted is an improvement, but it looks like something a teenager would buy. The first picture of the GT500 is really bad. The fenders stick out SOOO far. Looks stuck in the '80's.

Oh8SnakeDriver Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I wouldn't put this on my GT500. So put me down as a big NO vote. Although it is your GT500 and your money so if it works for you, do as you please. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewheelman Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Reminds me of the old IMSA series Roush racers.......not for the GT 500......too wide, too funky for the classic shape of the Mustang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
